There have been claims that school students were getting high from "I-dosing." However, medical experts are skeptical about the effects of I-dosing. Sample audio files are available to preview on their website so you can test it out for yourself. The major difference, however, is that while most other forms of tapes just claim to alter your mind " subliminally", I-Doser marketing states that it will actively " alter your brainwaves" to match the conditions brought about by "numerous drugs". The product really is no different than countless other self-help tapes that claim to make you thin, or be able to fluently speak foreign languages just by sticking a pair of headphones on and falling asleep. The I-Doser site contains numerous testimonies of people claiming to be positively affected by listening to the "doses", which are arranged in multiple categories such as "stimulant" and "sexual" and available for around $4 each.

Like homeopathy, the benign nature of the prescription results in no side effects (with the possible exception of hearing loss if listened to at max volume). I-Doser is a piece of software that claims, via the use of specially-designed sounds, to be able to alter your mood in the same manner that drugs, legal or otherwise, can. The difference between the two - 10Hz - entrains the brain to that frequency, bang in the middle of the Alpha wave range, supposedly inducing relaxation.Exactly. One ear gets a 315Hz sine wave, for example, and the other gets a 325Hz wave. However, average human hearing is limited to a range between 20 and 20,000Hz, so binaural beats are used to gain the same effect. For example, we know that Alpha waves - between 7 and 13 Hz - are associated with relaxation and drowsiness.

This is a phenomenon discovered in 1839 and investigated further in the 1970s, which claims that playing audio at certain frequencies can move the activity of your brain waves towards those frequencies.

The sounds they're listening to are infused with "binaural beats". So here's the reality of the situation: your children are not getting high from listening to audio.

After an initial brief "lol", I've been trying hard to ignore it, but it seems to be gaining more and more attention from supposedly serious newspapers. For the past couple of weeks, a story has been working its way through various media organisations about kids in a high school in Oklahoma listening to MP3 files and getting high.
