Now You Can "hack" Your Brain

Post by MetDream »

I was on one of the other forums I frequent tonight, and came along on this little program.

The program simulates brainwaves to make it seem like your hearing/seeing/doing stuff your not doing. Want to feel like you had too much caffine? Theres a preset for that.

Theres presets for a variety of things, including Sleep Inducing, Hightened awareness, Lucid Dreaming, and yes, even several drugs like Pot, LSD, Poppers etc.

Its not a placebo effect, it may sound weird, but everything that happens is due to the brainwaves in your brain. So this program alters and manipulates them to do different things. No long lasting effects.


You must be wearing headphones for the effects to take place. No PC speakers, read the FAQ on there site to find out why.

Alleged dangers
Software providers creating packages for audio processing such as Adobe Audition (formerly Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro) do have disclaimers in their help materials stating that the use of brainwave synchronization by means of binaural beats can cause seizures and even death and that they will not be held responsible for injuries or deaths that occur as a result of the use of binaural beats.

Ok, so who's going to risk this disclaimer and tell me what it's like :P

While it sounds interesting, I think I may steer clear of this program and leave brainwave manipulation to people who do it in the proper environment, and who know what they are doing.
