It seems that it uses binaural beats - the same trick that is used in AVS machines (such as these: http://www.photosonix.com/products.htm). The recording contains different frequency for each ear, resulting in brain producing frequency diference in EEG. Try to listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZdqR5weIQA for example. If you listen just to one headphone, you will not hear that low-frequency artifact created by your own brain. Some people use AVS machines as a shortcut for reaching certain states of mind. Instead of spending 20 years meditating, they just put the headphones on.. -- Martin Tomasek _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
