Propaganda and media will do this, people – Drug Scanner-Lite - Scan your audio files for Digital Drugs Review

This app's developers clearly understand about as much about brainwave entrainment as a neurologist knows about mechanical engineering. "Digital drug" is a made-up term used by the media a while ago to describe binaural beats and other meditation aids. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DIGITAL DRUG. No audio or video file can mimick or replicate the effects of a chemical reaction in the body. Binaural beats (which are actually comparatively weak when compared to photic stimulation or isochronic tones) are merely an audo processing effect. One tone is presented in one ear, and a slighly different tone is presented to the other. This tiny difference in tone generates an aural gradient, and produces a faintly audible interpolation in the form of a beating or pulsing that can be noticed with practice. The intended effect of listening to this is to bring your natural brainwave activity to another state within its range, through a naturally-occurring phenomena the mind has known as the frequency-following response. Your mind plays "monkey see, monkey do" with nearly any periodic stimulus. Generally, it's safe to assume you are currently in an Alpha state reading this, or around 12 hz or so. Rhis means that on average, your neourons are firing about twelve times a second. Your mind is alert, but relaxed. Higher frequencies, such as Beta and Gamma ranges, or 12-22 and 22-40 hz, respectively, generally are associated with higher concentration levels, and in some cases higher problem-solving skills. You'll likely experience Beta when solving an algebraic equation, and Gamma when your mind is incredibly energetic. Below Alpha frequencies come Delta and Theta frequencies. Theta is generally experienced when dreaming or getting close to falling asleep, or found with advanced meditators. Range is arpund the 4-9 hz range. Delta is the lowest general range, and is found in deep sleep. Range is anything lower than 4 hz. As for the accusation that "digital drugs are dangerous and as effective as street drugs," please, have you ever gotten high by relaxing or trying to determine what the value of x is in an equation? No? Didn't think so. Before you invest time and energy into applications like these, invest some of that time and energy into research. Yes, companies out there are falsely advertising guided/aided meditation methods as "digital drugs," but what won't people do for publicity these days? If you're worried about these companies taking over the minds of our youth, perhaps some relaxing alpha frequency brainwave entrainment could help you relax a bit ;)
