One site, called i- Doser ( com), has really capitalized on the potential association between binaural beats and mood drugs. The technology has been around since the 1830s, but has really come into its own in the past decade, as CDquality recordings and noisecanceling headphones allow users around the world to check out what some say could be an alternative to drugs - giving you the same effects (or close to it) with none of the dependence and legal problems 'real' drug use entails. Depending on the differences in the pulses, the brain can be 'entrained' ( i.

The pulses, in the 1,000 hertz to 1,500 Hz range, have slight differences between them - less than 30 Hz. According to many of its users, binaural beats ( /Binaural-beats), as the sound waves are known, are very effective they can be used to wake you up, put you to sleep, unleash your creativity, or even send you on the equivalent of a druginduced mental trip.īasically, binuaral beats consist of pulses of two different frequencies being played in each ear at the same time.

What does all this have to do with computers? Well, it seems that someone has come up with a way to simulate the effects of mind-bending drugs - using a centuryand-a-half-old technology that employs sound waves to mess with your brain. In the movies (the more modern ones, at least), it looks like everyone taking 'recreational drugs' is having a great time - at least until the morality aspect of the tale enters, and the happy-substance abusers either get killed or carted off to jail. That's why I could never understand people who willingly gave up control of their circumstances to alcohol or drugs.

I'm sure amateur psychoanalysts (also known as 'hobby shrinks') will have a good time with that sentence. By control I don't necessarily mean 'in charge' - rather, I mean being on top of things, not letting events that you have an interest in progress too far without your input. In my humble opinion, keeping control - of yourself, or your situation - is of tantamount importance. NOTE! Consider delaying until first div on page
