This is rather brilliant work, but i would suggest thinking carefully before using to secure your production systems. When a sysadmin is woken by a page at three in the morning, becoming calm enough to be able to log in may be a Sisyphean task.

Chill music is not "chill out" music, but rather the type of music that gives you a Chill down your back, a shivering sensation of pleasure.

I would think that the music eliciting such a response would vary between individuals, or is that not the case? Are there universal patterns in music that would act as "chill music" to a broad spread of the population? I guess I am wondering if "chill music" can be an actual genre where listeners can swap their favorite tracks and such or if it is just music across different genres that individuals might experience this sensation with.

Are you sure? That's not my understanding of the term. I'd love to be corrected.

This is a very good idea, but the application isn't terribly broad yet. For something you need secured more than you need reliably instant access, I can see this being wonderful. Eventually, when biometric sensors are smaller and cheaper, and AI is a little more mature, that will change.

Yep I am sure - read the full paper, it's linked on the right hand side of the article. Some of the examples are the soundtracks from Skyrim and Legend of Zelda...

It seems like an odd term to use though.
