Your thoughts on Binaural beats as a coping mechanism?

Hi,

Let me know what are your views on Binaural beats/isochronic tones videos/tunes on YOUTUBE.

In a nutshell: binaural beats are sounds that you listen to using headphones for max effect, meditation style. Some effects (maybe placebo) are sometimes felt YMMV.

Some even claim to be acting like "dopamine-equivalent" generators to the brain.

I don't if it works or not. Youtube comments are all over the place, YMMV.

Could it be a tool to help going thru an urge for some people?
It might only be a placebo, illusion.

 

Is this stuff new to everybody? Does it possibly violates any forum rules?

It's just kinda cool that brain waves (alpha, beta, etc) can be possibly stimulated by sounds specifically created to pinpoint a known issue by using specific frequency in hertz. The basis of binaural beats are documented in science studies with various levels of results.

There is sound tracks claiming to have an effect on ED, dopamine release, hapiness, induce better sleep, induce trance, etc...

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I also watched a few ASMR videos, although my habit to see arousal in everything and everywhere made me bookmark a few ASMR channels ran by nice looking women. I'll have to re-learn not to objectify. As sleeping is important, and because my PMO habit made me stay up late quite often, everything that helps me falling asleep will be a god send.
