I just tried one and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing [It was quick-happy]. Apparently they are completely legal and safe and have no long term effects. I just thought this was worth sharing. You can get the files for free on limewire or rapidshare. If you decide to try it. DON'T DO HAND OF GOD unless you think you're ready and have done the other ones a lot. It's supposed to make u see hell and i freak out after one minute and four seconds and can't do it anymore.

Here's some reactions....

I've never felt high while doing this. I went in thinking "This isn't going to work at all."

I have a feeling it's more or less a placebo, if you think it'll work going into it, it'll "work" for you.

That stuff is complete placebo used to trick kids into thinking they're getting high. I know from multiple experiences and looking up research. The first time I did it I thought it had worked, until I actually thought about it and realized I had forced it to.

It only works when you want it to happen. And I don't see why you would want it to happen.

I have much more fun playing stuff that's supposed to make a person be in a certain mood the whole day if you play it too them in there sleep. It was so awesome doing that on my brother (and I could've sworn it worked once or twice). To bad he went to college.

Having never been high, I tried the ones that were supposed to make you feel like you were high, and I felt nothing different. I tried A LOT of them, in fact, and felt nothing different. I even stoked myself into really getting excited about them, solely for the implications of them, but yeah, nothing.

I tried to start off hard core with the LSD, but after 8 minutes I thought:"Why the hell am I waisting my time with listening to beeps?!".

Pretty much it.

I'd love to try it again if someone can give me the RAR file of it. I'll try it with an open-mind, but sadly, I pretty confident nothing will come out of it.

Yep, you are. I've never even heard of acid causing that extreme of a hallucination on people.

Nothing like that at least.

Pretty much it sounds like you've heard LSD causes hallucination, took the iDose, and let your imagination run wild.

Unless the music is more potent then lysergic acid diethylamide. I've done Idoser a while ago. I did the "Peyote" one, sat down, and stared at a wall. After about twenty minutes the wall seemed to be different colors, and this one dust spot seemed to look like a gremlin.

About two months ago I took shrooms. Not the songs, but the actual mushrooms. There was no similarity. Idoser was only through the power of suggestion that I saw anything, while shrooms were definitely not. And while you could say "well yeah it's less powerful", when they don't even share a common base then no. It's a fraud. I've smoked weed before. Now when I listen to techno music I can kind of "zone out" and slightly mimic the effects of being high. Am I high? Not at all, I just know what it feels like and can placebo myself into being slightly there. The songs are all weird, slightly technoish, and if you can let your imagination go wild then I'm sure you can use them to achieve weird placebo effects. If you enjoy it, then sure, go do it. But don't pay money for it or act like you're not just doing it yourself.

What I would like to see is take someone who has experienced heavy stuff on the iDoser. Give them a random sample that they haven't tried, and see what affects they exhibit.

i couldn't stop laughing at this how can beep make you experience a drug like high, unless you trick yourself to thinking it will work.

Somebody posted this about a year ago.

It was as fake then as it is now.

Sorry to burst your bubbles people, but you cannot get high off of these sounds or any other sounds. All the skeptics in this thread are correct.

You can get high off this stuff. Just like how you can get high on life. Placebo.

Binaural beats have a solid scientific backing, not just anyone can use them though. You need to get into a deep state for it to have any effect.

However reproducing specific drugs with them is not going to happen, but a song that can make you feel happy can because it uses sounds that your brain designates as happy and releases happy juices(I forgot the scientific term, deal with it)
Although I have never tried it.

I used this a few years back. I didn't notice much of a difference. Nothing extreme.

According to research binaural beats work on some people but some people are completely immune to it. Then there are some that need help experiencing it. I guess I was immune to it because it hardly worked for me.

The Wall is a film. Thinking an autistic kid is a troll is in no way similar to hallucinating people out of the blue, and I don't have to listen to stories because unlike you I know what I'm talking about through personal experience.

Do you have any evidence for this? I do believe that songs can change emotions, but I've never heard of a song being able to create a specific emotion in people and only that emotion.

i dont think songs create specific emotions, they just trigger certain emotions you associate with the song.

Was looking for this out of curiosity earlier, thanks.

Yea, I might try it, but it seems to be all placebo =[.

It doesn't seem like a placebo; it IS a placebo. Unless you are taking a drug, anything that you experience that is not the drug is a placebo effect.

So in the spirit of science and inquiry, I decided to look into this whole binaural beats phenomenon a little more using some credible sources.

According to one study, binaural frequencies were not able to cause any significant change in brain state or EEG measurements. They did decrease immediate memory recall; but really, any type of music or non-white-noise will do this.

Another study found that any changes in brain activity were minor; the effect was slightly larger in musicians.

A third study showed that some types of binaural beats (theta/delta) caused a decrease in mood and alertness and increased fatigue when compared to other (beta) types of binaural beats. In this study, the subjects weren't told that the noise they were listening to contained binaural beats, or that the noise had anything to do with the experiment.

A fourth study showed that listening to delta/theta binaural beats over a longer period of time (days/weeks) can cause slight decreases in anxiety. Many other results were not statistically significant.


What I get from looking through some of these is the following:

-Binaural beats do have slight or small effects on brain and mood activity.
-Some studies directly contradict other studies; either the different methodologies are to blame, or more research on binaural beats is needed to determined why there are differences, or it's a bunch of hogwash.
-There is absolutely no way binaural beats will get you "high" or anything like it.
-If any of you feel drastically different after listening to this "I-Doser", it's a placebo. Binaural beats cause slight changes in brain activity. But this doesn't honestly mean a whole lot. Everything causes slight changes in brain activity (eating, watching TV, looking at pictures of trees, looking at trees, looking at pictures of people, closing your eyes, daydreaming, etc). You most definitely cannot get "high" off sounds, or even anything close to it. Binaural beats simply do not produce dramatic changes.
-Binaural beats have the possibility to be used as therapy/treatment. If the fourth study is correct, listening to certain binaural beats every day for a long period of time can decrease anxiety.
This is no different from the light therapy used to help people with severe sleeping problems. For example, some people with severe insomnia or circadian rhythm problems sit in front of a special therapeutic bright light for 20 minutes after they wake up every day. It helps orient their biological clock and in the long term, makes them more alert and helps their mood.

Binaural beats could eventually be used in the same way. But sitting in front of a light, while it too produces changes in brain activity, does not get you high. Neither do binaural beats.

WoW, I never knew that people actually enjoy the effect of drugs even though people have the knowledge that in the long run, they will be harmful. 0_o

Good point.

An interesting idea at the least. Lol at all the videos on youtube of people taking it and like freaking out.

There are three types of people though, people who can feel it, people who can't, and people who feel it over multiple listenings.
There are 4 types; the site just omitted the last one:
1. People who can feel it
2. People who can't feel it
3. People who feel it over multiple listens
4. People who knows it's bull**** and don't waste their time

No one has taken my challenge - play the sound for someone who never listened to, experienced, or heard of this thing before. Don't tell them what it'll do. See what happens. Do it to 100 people and you will probably get no one who experiences this as real. Awesome experiment though.

I just thought of a piss your pants I-Doser thing.

At first it relaxes you and then, all of a sudden, a loud, piercing scream can be heard.

Guaranteed for some to piss themselves.
