What Would MARY HART's Voice Do To You?

An article in a 1991 issue of THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE quoted a doctor regarding the case of a 45 year old woman, for whom the pitch of MARY HART's (ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT) voice would "set off abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, resulting in not only seizures, but mental confusion, headache and upset stomach."

Upon hearing Hart's voice, "the woman would rub her stomach, hold her head, and 'look confused and far away...and out of it.'"

It's also cited in an article entitled THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT?
in SCIENCE NEWS (v140, n3 -- July 20, 1991:45; 1 page).

However, I found an AP news story about it here.
