Hi All
Ok so this is from a
while ago and it's still OT, but I do think its info that could benefit
people on this list. I got a few replies privately and I'm going to
summarize all that info. Incidentally I didn't mention where I lived
because I was looking for a chain... but I got back all the info I
needed anyway. So no, there's nothing like Radio Shack in Israel :)
TEL AVIV REGION
The consensus here is the central bus station area. A dozen or so shops in Har-Tzion, Wolfson and Matalon streets:
- Siman Tov Electronics - Avi Even Electronics, 22 Hartzion St, http://www.even-elect.co.il/HTMLs/Home.aspx (IE site) - A shop inside the old
bus station.
and in Ramat Gan / Givataim: - "Shamsi Electronics",
153 Katzanelson St
JERUSALEM
- "Kashayof"
HAIFA
- Leon electronics
(לאון אלקטרוניקה) - There's a shop on or near Gedera street.
Thanks to Leonid Podolny, Jason Friedman, Arik Baratz, Shahar Dag, Ilya Konstantinov and Aaron Aamehl for contributing.

P.S. A friend of mine
from South Africa with a degree in electrical engineering has offered
to build me the EEG unit, so maybe I'll have something interesting to
post in a few months.

Like an equivalent of Radio Shack? Amongst other things I'm interested in building the home-made EEG (the device used to measure brainwave activity) found at http://openeeg.sf.net/ - and most the analyzation software is built in Linux. For those of you interested in brainwave entrainment, there are some great linux utilities for binaural beats here: http://sbagen.sourceforge.net/ (Say you put 100 Hz in your left ear, and 108 Hz in your right ear, the difference, the frequency of 8 Hz forms inside your brain, and your dominant brainwave frequency tends towards it (FFR) - in this case 8 Hz is in the alpha range, so after hearing this for a few minutes you start feeling alot more relaxed). By progressively lowering the binaural beat frequency you can entrain to the same states achieved by experienced meditators, as measured by EEG devices. I'll make this even more interesting to make up for the double OT post. Craniel Electro Stimulation (CES) involves attaching ear clips to both your ear lobes and sending a low current straight through your brain. There is a device called the Voodoo Magick Box which does this at a frequency of 0.5 Hz and while it's on you feel like you're high :) More info at http://ces.wastelands.net/ One of the reasons I'd like to build an EEG is I'm working on a project to use your PC's own soundcard to generate the current and want to test its effectiveness. Gadi P.S. If anyone has experience in building in electronic devices and is interested in assembling some of these things for me in exchange for payment, please contact me privately. -- Gadi Cohen aka Kinslayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.wastelands.net Freelance admin/coding/design HABONIM DROR linux/fantasy enthusiast KeyID 0x93F26EF5: 256A 1FC7 AA2B 6A8F 1D9B 6A5A 4403 F34B 93F2 6EF5 |
