I-Doser

[Mellow Yellow]

You guys think this is real or just a placebo?

You are listening to samples of the I-Doser Simulation CDs and MP3s. Recreational Simulations are collections of doses. Each audio track contains our advanced binaural beats that will synchronize your brainwaves to the same state as the recreational dose. Mixed with these auditory pulses are soothing backtracks of ambient soundscapes to help the brain induce of state of mood lift, euphoria, sedation, and hallucination. Note: This is for demonstration only and it does not contain the full program necessary to enter state.

From Wiki
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-Doser

I-Doser is an application which claims to use binaural beats in order to simulate the effect of various drugs and other altered states of consciousness. Users can purchase "doses" of their choice from the website. The I-Doser application then plays "drug" files which attempts to create the effects of the chosen drug.

However, there is much debate surrounding the actual effects of each "dose."

This natural phenomenon was discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, a German Neuroscientist in 1839. He claimed that the beat frequency of two sounds of similar frequencies could influence the fundamental state of the brain. This is called Binaural beats.

I'm going to see if I can find a torrent of the full tracks and try them.

The principle is real, but whether the I-dose actually is like a given drug is probably debatable.

Hmmm...I was listening to the peyote sample, and my cat went from fast asleep to "on the alert".
But I never can tell with them whether it's something I can see or hear, or something only they can.

Similar although opposite marketing scheme to Brainwave Generator: www.bwgen.com/

BWG makes you buy the app, but then the presets (or doses if you will) are free, although made mostly by the average user. I agree that the concept is very likely real and possibly effective. I have BWG, and for me.. (your milage may vary of course) it doesn't do much. For example, if the preset is relaxation, I will feel lightly "under", but nothing more that leaning back and closing my eyes would accomplish IMO. Astral projection, same thing, doesn't come anywhere near to the desired effect. It really must depend on the individual.

I really get much more of a "high" from music that floats my boat..

Llewellyn published a book about how to astral project back in the eighties that came
with a casette to practice with. The "A" side was about technique, but the "B" side was
recordings of sounds to get you going. There was an explicit warning along the lines of:

WARNING! Do not listen to side "B" until you have mastered the techniques for astral
breathing up to chapter 7 in the book!

I hadn't even read the book, but I was curious to hear what was on that side of the tape,
so I put it in the stereo, and laid down on my bed to have a listen. In short order
I was "asleep", but in and out of some sort of semi-conscious "lucid dreaming",
and being dragged about by the noise and music. I can't say it was altogether unpleasant,
but it wasn't quite "delightful" either.
When I woke up, I felt a bit splattered, as if parts of me were still out and about, so to speak.
In a few minutes I was back to normal, but I think things would have worked better if the tape
had shut down once I had (unwittingly) "launched", for lack of a better term.
My point is that at a certain point, electronic devices actually get in the way of what you're trying
to do. You may be able to learn from them in the same way that you can learn to ride a bike using
"training wheels", but after a certain point they're a nuisance.
