I’m a newbie and I don’t know if it’s very effective…
Placebo is a helluva drug.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.
The super low stuff is genuinely relaxing. N = only 1 but there you have it. I can tell the difference between silence and a relaxing sound that is kneading on my brain
Are sound baths nothing but placebo as well? Theres nothing at all to them?
I tried listening to a musical piece centered around it a while back. And while the phenomenon is definitely there, producing a recognizable tune, the unpleasantness of two high pitched sinewaves is simply not worth it.
It’s interesting as a concept, but as music it is terrible. I prefer listening to music that does not invoke the resonant frequency of my skull.
You want the lower ones like 0.333 hz
Look into The Gateway Tapes.
The institution that made the tapes discovered the phenomenon of binaural beats, and there are declassified documents from a certain 3-letter entity detailing its possible uses. The bottom line is, binaural beats can have some therapeutic/spiritual benefits, under properly controlled conditions, but you’re not going to learn a new language or quit smoking by using them.
I haven’t yet found one that I actually care about. I mean, it’s fine, but boring.
The goal is to do something at the same time, and I find it can help with meditation.
At first I misread this as binaural butts
