Going to start my research soon.

[beesman]

So, I am a man of science and marijuana. Seeing as I have a lot of free time and a lot of brain cells, I'm starting a project soon---this thread will be the official thread once I get it all together. What is my research? I think Binaurals are far more powerful than we think, and we are using them wrong. Not to insult some of the great files on this site, but theres one problem---the only way to make a binaural that is 100% effective is to custom-tune it.
Which is why I just ordered this.

It will show me all four of the major brainwaves (Alpha, Beta, Delta and Theta) in real time as I custom tune my binaural. I don't believe anyone has ever made a Binaural while looking at the waves its effecting--and I have a feeling this will make them much, much, MUCH more effective.

So, I was wondering if the community on this site has any feedback on the nature of my experiment, or even ideas of their own.
I am also looking for anyone to send me Binaural's they know worked for them, as well as simple info such as Age, sex, fetishes, State standard IQ and ethnicity.
If you want to participate, send your "working" binaural and simple info to
digital_controller@hotmail.com
I'm hoping for this to be an exciting experiment.

The only time research is a waste of time is if you give up. I really think this is an interesting idea and would love to hear your results. Also I wouldn`t exclude Gamma brainwaves in your research.

Hey Beesman,

I would agree with Calad, but with one addition. Research can also be a waste of time if it is so flawed that the results are meaningless or misleading.

I like the concept. It should be interesting. Two things come to mind. One, it might turn out that fine tuning a binaural, as you described, must be done separately for each individual listener. The results you have with a particular binaural might not be the results another gets.

The other is the equipment. I went to the website you mentioned to take a look. Very interesting. I'd be even more interested to know if it works. Looked like a scam to me, though I am not necessarily the most trusting of people. I am afraid you might be terribly disappointed when your equipment arrives.

They seem to be suggesting that the combination of their hardware and software will allow someone to control their computer with their thoughts. You will, I hope, forgive me for being skeptical.

What you need for your research is a piece of scientific equipment. What you are likely to receive is a toy. I hope I am wrong. Your idea is good.

Regards,

Sarnoga

It took me three years to fine tune the binaurals I offered for authors to use as backgrounds for their files. All one need to do is to throw one of these files onto a piece of software that does comparative frequency analysis on multiple audio channels and you will find some intriguing patterns developing before your eyes.

An author search will show you which files I mean, and although these files make it possible for ANYONE to augment a non-binaural file and submit it as a binaural (my "bailiwick", as it were), I still felt the contibution would benefit more people than what I had been doing for the WMM membership while challenging me to offer even better files for everyone's consideration.

So, before you go off spending bucks and time on new and interesting things, it might behoove you to look at everything this site already has to offer? Those background binaurals seem to work for anyone who uses them, and all I ask is that file authors mention in their file description that the binaural version was made possible by Calimore.

Or not. Doesn't matter either way, so long as you get your listener into trance and give them the results they desire. THAT'S the most important thing, no matter what anyone else says, so long as it does them or others no harm whatsoever.

I know someone who uses an EEG while authoring his binaurals and during hypnosis sessions. I'll get to witness its use early next month. :)

I wonder if monitoring your own brainwaves real-time while attempting to entrain them might produce funky results. The act of observation will probably have some degree of influence on the results.

Interesting idea; I look forward to your results!
