SBaGen -- Binaural Beat Brain Wave Experimenter's Lab

The theory behind binaural beats is that if you apply slightly different frequency sine waves to each ear, a beating affect is created in the brain itself, due to the brain's internal wiring. If, in the presence of these tones, you relax and let your mind go, your mind will naturally synchronize with the beat frequency. In this way it is possible to tune the frequency of your brain waves to particular frequencies that you have selected, using of the four bands: Delta: deep sleep, Theta: dreaming and intuitive stuff, Alpha: awake, focussed inside, and Beta: awake, focussed outside.

excommunicate.net: Hypnagogia: Doorway to Inner-Space

  • In the hypnagogic state, random voices may sound seemingly from no where, visual apparitions may materialize, origin-less thoughts could possess the mind which some have told they agreed with. Landscapes may paint themselves before you, your body may feel as if it’s grown to enormous sizes, or in some cases experience points of timelessness. These experiences are reasonably not unlike those seen under the influence of certain psychoactive substances.
  • It’s evident that this little understood experience has been an inspirational tool for philosophers and artists alike for centuries. For the aesthetic minded this can prove to be a valuable “ doorway “ into something potentially infinitely inspiring. Bluntly, it’s the possibility of crafting, or watching your dreams unfold at will with front row seats.

I hope that this never makes it to the market!…. What would you do? Would you snort a ‘brain chemical’ just to get some sleep or would you do the old fashion-ed tricks and get some rest?
