Hai! 
So it's me opening a new thread again
But seeing as it's in the Off-Topic department, I should be ok aight!...?
Man, strange things are afoot in b4p4076 land right now...stra~nge things I tell ya!
So, binaural beats...vott iz ziss? You may ask. That is, if you were a German speaking English in a German accent. I so happen to be a "Zerman" living in the beautiful country of ze "lowlandz" so I thought I'd take on that role for a sec, this being my "coming out as a German" and such. Binaural beats? Well basically, it's the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats
Which apparently, is a topic that is generally frowned upon, not having been scientifically proven and such:

http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4147
For me, things started out with the awesome iBone app called "Inception", named after the blockbuster film featuring Leonardo de "what's his name". A cool app that I seriously recommend you try if you own an iBone. Check it out. The Inception app is basically an augmented-soundscape-app that screws around with your microphone input via your iBone headset (doesn't work with bluetooth headsets btw). As a tip: download it, load the "Reviere Dream" and then do some cubing, SPACED!
anyway, I was too lazy to unlock the new "levels" in the Inception app and couldn't be bothered to manipulate the save file via Secure Shell. So I subsequently went looking for a similar app without the level "obligations" and constraints. The good old app store suggested I should download an app called Brain Wave. So, being the sheep that I am, I promptly did so :tu
Expecting an app somewhere along the lines of the Inception app, I found myself confronted with something totally different. Instead of using the input possibilities of your phone to alter what you're hearing, Brain Wave basically plays a sequence of "binaural sounds?" to influence your brain and to stimulate a certain state of mind that you may not in at that time (but may desire to be..sounds like drugs huh?). In the app itself, there's basically a list of "programs" the depict certain "mindsets" or "enhancements" that you can choose from, such as the following:
Morning coffee
Espresso shot
Morning wood...erm I mean "Morning meditation"
Concentration
Memory Boost
Euphoria
Power nap
Positive mood boost
ect.
So this is the point where you guys should and probably are LOL. Heartily too I hope. Sounds so commercial and silly doesn't it?
Right, so I'm a sucker for proving that I don't waste time or money downloading apps that cost cash (via my jailbroken iBone with Installous on it), so I decided to try this thing anyway:
Binaural proramme
Espresso shot
I've been feeling a bit ill since yesterday so I'm a bit groggy to say the least. Started this thing at work, wasn't expecting anything to happen. I was so tired. 10 mins later I was wide awake...huh? At first I was thinking 'placebo effect?" so I started the next programme:
Euphoria
Which steals 30min of your time as opposed to Espresso shot's 10 mins. So after this sh*t, I was feeling kinda lifted... Nah! it's all coincident I thought..."and the placebo effect's owning me!"...right?
I had went from broken > to awake >...to euphoric?? :confused: The effect was actually pretty intense to say the least. I was giggeling like a girl and sh*t...
So being on a trip already, I decided to launch the programme Positive mood boost Ma~n, that poo wasn't playing for like 5 sec and I went from awake and psyched to "meh~!"................ I was seriously about to fall to sleep after 5 seconds of it. Went upstairs for a cig break and was in danger of passing out. OMG...
Apparently Positive mood boost has three phases:
"Begins with a soothing delta/ theta wave to take you a to restful, near sleep state, before transitioning to increasingly higher theta frequencies."...ok...that explains it. I was feeling kinda positive. That's why I posted this earlier:
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s.....I-am-Martinrubiksman...&p=577998#post577998
Once I was back at my cubicle (aka cage), I decided to play around with this muvver. I paused it and was back to euphoria, put back it on again and ...zzzzzzzzzz....There's about 5secs inbetween where your brain adapts, but sh*t's....crazy!...
Maybe I'm just easy game for this stuff because I'm feeling a bit ill... or I am dumb. But damn...wasn't expecting it be more than a sequence of sounds and iTunes style money making.
So...tomrorrow, advanced lessons concerning binaural beats.
Till then: http://www.youtube.com/snkenjoi
And some of that advanced poo too, it's be called Lucid dreaming. Which has a plausible http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/series/engineering-connections connection to the above. If anyone here has experienced forced Lucid dreaming please share. As Gaétan would say: "Lucid dreaming I brought back from the darkness. I am the Lucid dreaming of cubing, parapluie atomique!". ...
To be continued...
