harmonic hypnosis

Psychological effect that results from listening to the same piece of audio for a long period of time. Small changes in pitch and inflection become unnoticeable, which creates the auditory illusion that the sound is near perfect or flawless in pitch. This effect is extremely common in sound engineering and music production.

In architecture, a hypostyle hall has a flat ceiling which is supported by columns, as in the Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak. In this case the columns flanking the central avenue are of greater height than those of the side aisles, and this admits of openings in the wall above the smaller columns, through which light is admitted over the aisle roof, through clerestory windows.
