Re: المخدرات الرقمية (DIGITAL DRUGS) (Re: شاع الدين محمد مخاوي)

Quote: Are digital drugs real or fake? Digital drugs are files which can be downloaded over the internet and are supposed to induce mental states similar to what you would get from taking a real drug.

Kelly, Andy Badera, (more) "Digital Drugs" are really just binaural beats, which have been known about for over 150 years.

The effect that binaural beats have is closer to hypnosis than getting high. Essentially two sine waves with close but slightly different frequencies are played into each ear through headphones (speakers won't work because the sounds will mix before reaching the ears). The brain processes the sounds as if they are the same frequency, and has to work to ignore the slight difference. When the difference between the frequency is adjusted to be close to actual brainwave frequencies, it allows for particular brainwaves to have a chance of being "amplified". This might have the effect of making you more alert, more relaxed, or other similar effects.
There's really nothing inherently "digital" about all of this, since we're talking about pure sine waves of sound. "Digital drugs" is a marketing term by people selling digitized MP3s of audio that attempt to create these effects.
Likewise, these sounds are not a "drug". If anything, it's more of a biofeedback treatment. Once again, the use of the term "drug" is an attempt to whip people into a frenzy over the idea that binaural beats can create similar effects to chemical drugs, which is preposterous.

(more) 5 upvotes by Robin Green, Quora User, Chad Little, (more) The question needs to be rephrased. Obviously the things that people call digital drugs are real. They're all over the internet. The question is whether they actually induce the states claimed by some (get you high) and whether they should be regulated as drugs or treated as illegal "substances". It's long been established that listening to certain types of music (Steven Reich is the example used in that tongue-in-cheek article, but Bach and Mozart are on the list) can alter your brain waves, and there's no reason to doubt that these tracks can do the same. I listened to a couple. They're pretty freaky and if you follow the instructions, you can definitely feel yourself moving into a different brain state. But are they drugs? If you classify these as drugs, then you'd have to call meditation and even prayer drugs too. Hard to imagine that holding up to scrutiny. Updated 11 Sep, 2010. 3,320 views. Upvote5 Downvote Comment Kevin Fischer 6 upvotes by Isica Lynn, Quora User, Quora User, (more) Binaural (or monaural, or isochronic, or photic) beats can induce mild visual hallucinations when listened to with the right frame of mind. They can be used to induce relaxed or energized or spiritual states, but it's all much milder than the effects of chemical drugs.
Gnaural is the open source tool for generating these things and Neuro-Programmer 3 is well-polished pay Windows software. I'm currently doing a research project into brain entrainment, have listened to many IDoser doses, and can answer related questions if anyone has any. Written 11 Sep, 2010. 2,340 views.

Upvote Downvote Comment Joun Teery, Psychiatrist The science behind digital drug use reflects that individuals can achieve the intended effects. Some consider digital drugs to be beneficial as they can help individuals with sleep difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more. However the drugs can also mimic the effects of more powerful, dangerous drugs such as cocaine, peyote, heroin, opium, ecstasy, and more. The side effects of these illicit, recreational drugs are harmful no matter how they are achieved, in substance or in sound. translated from Arabic source المخدرات الرقمية Written 5 Feb. 177 views.
