If you can believe that, then I know someone who can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

idoser is literally binaural beats

And you totally don't do that all the damn time.

you're right, i don't

Need some Gamma waves and/or anything else that makes you think better right now. Books on programming Python are making my memory and brain go ouchie.

EVERYONE READ HERE, ESPECIALLY STUNTMAN

In Binaural Beats, the frequency listed is not the tone being played, it is the difference between the two tones.  Since they're panned out into different earbuds, the tones don't physically cross, or else they'd produce the beating sound that a slightly out of tune instrument makes.  Your brain hears both tones though, so it actually collides in your brain and beats at the frequency listed.

This is why it doesn't really matter what headphones you use, because they aren't actually producing subsonic frequencies.

Isochronic tones are supposedly much more effective than binaural beats in inducing effects.

Also I'm not sure but i believe binaural beats use certain frequencies that make your brain change to balance the two frequencies. I thought that those beats were used because of the problem with accessing certain frequencies.

I think Isochronic tones have at least a slightly better kind of effect because previously binaural beats had very little.

Also can the thread title be changed to "Brainwave entertainment" because thats generally what these sounds are used for and called when being used.

I made a damn topic about this and no one gave a stuff. :l

What frequency do you recommend for starters?

Try 40hz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwDVc3tKliM
I personally don't like other sound with it, but It's what I use and it works fairly well. Don't try to use this to induce sleep, it makes me feel very alert, so use it for studying/reading/homework.

Wait a day before you use them though, especially if you got a headache from listening to them earlier on.
What frequency were you listening to when you got your headache?

Nevermind about the headache. It was just the specific song i was listening to.
I tried another 13hz one and it was much better and worked very well.
Now please excuse me as i go into a store and buy a mp3 player.

Lucid dreaming is weird as, especially with the lower frequency alpha waves, your body can fall asleep but your mind may not, which you can sometimes astral project/experience some sleep paralysis, try 11 if your specifically trying to lucid dream.

Okay, i've heard enough about this lucid dreaming stuff.

What would the chance be for lucid dreaming on a 11hz? And when should i listen to a 11hz song at? Before i sleep?

also is 7 considered proper for attempting lucid dreaming

I find 11 works the best, try to go to sleep relaxed, while listening to it, keep your earbuds in all the way up until you fall asleep. Keep awareness as you start to fall asleep, but dont over think it, or your body will fall asleep but your mind will not.

[Night Fox]

so, quiet but still audible is a good volume right

idoser is literally binaural beats

Here's how idoser works.

1. You want to get high.
2. You buy iDoser stuff thinking it will make you high.
3. The fact that you want to get high and the natural need to validate the time or money into purchasing or acquiring iDoser tracks work together to convince you that you are high.
4. You think you're high purely through the power of suggestion.

There was a study where people were given various nonalcoholic beverages and were told they were alcoholic. Lo and behold, these people started to act drunk despite consuming no alcohol.

Becoming high is 100% a chemical process. If you're not consuming some kind of drug you will not get high. We're assuming "high" is specifically referring to the feeling of a drug induced high, not runner's high or something. Binaural beats may have something to them. Maybe you can feel sad or anxious by listening to particular sounds, musicians have been exploiting this for hundreds of years. There is nothing to suggest that you can induce a high by listening to some randomly generated noise, and if you're going to fall for it then you might as well start stocking up on magnetic healing bracelets and cleansing Japanese foot pads because they're just as effective at what they do.

In fact, in the Wikipedia article you link to, iDoser is all but specifically named in the unverified claims section. Binaural beats themselves do not necessarily make you study better, get high, or diet. You convince yourself that these are working, and as a consequence, you actually DO study better and concentrate harder. But it's purely by tricking yourself. I could give you a sugar pill and tell you that it would make you study better, and if you actually believed it worked, you would actually study better.

If you think iDoser is working, it's purely through the power of your mind. Please, by all means, go on believing it works, because the second you stop believing it works it won't work. We wouldn't want your investment to go to waste.
