Dear Dr. Brown,
     I am not in the field of physiology, but a layman's primitive idea
     popped into my mind.  Don't you think you can use any kind of sound,
     unless it is too loud or too stimulative, as a "neutral" sound after
     presenting it repeatedly to your subject ?  Of course, it depends on
     what kind of physiological response you are going to get.  Generally
     speaking, however, things or events presented frequently tend to be
     more or less neutral at least psychologically.
