Nigga you gay.

The idea being playing two slightly mismatched frequencies into each ear such that a third center frequency appears to emerge between the two. There are plenty who think it actually does something, but as many could put that up to placebo.

Anyway, the idea that you can turn your brain to mulch by listening to funny noises is hardly new. Must've been a slow news day indeed...

Teenagers listening to music and being moody, news?

Meh.

My Mum used to buy the Daily Mail, I was so dissappointed in her at that time. ;-) Eventually she realised that it was rubbish and stopped buying it.

It's the fools who are exploited by the Daily Mail raising their fear hormones that I feel sorry for. The Daily Mail should stop using fear to sell papers. It unsettles their customers and makes them anxious to buy the Daily Mail again, to get another fix.

Daily Mail - is it a bad drug?

Must be slow on news today for this to get posted. Talk about idiodic.

Hey hey! Did you guys know that "Gullible" is not in the dictionary?

IOW, give me a break. If someone get's off on music, hell, let them. And good for them.

What next, kids getting high on placebos? Because that is all this i-Dose crap is. I'm guessing it would do something if you were on acid or mushrooms, but listening to this stuff stone-cold sober didn't do anything to me.

I'm someone who has a sordid history with controlled substances, so I know when something is bunk. Not really proud of it, but it's a fact. This stuff doesn't do anything. Parents should be more worried about the stuff they have in their medicine cabinet than 'i-Dosing'.

I refer, of course, to the Daily Mail

Love this comment:

I am listening to one example of this right now on Youtube, called i-Doser iDosing to Gates of Hades, and its rubbish silly jumbled up noises, that dont make any sense. How they can call this crap 'drugs' is beyond me, dont they come up with some rite s##t.

The Idoser software has been out for at least three years now - this is VERY OLD NEWS. It uses specialized types of sound to send signals to the brain which can alter a persons mood, and it does work to an extent.

Wikipedia page redirects to "Binaural beats", read that to understand how this works -

i've always admired the comedy of the daily mail.
What kind of s**t is that reporter on

Wow, way to be at least 3 years behind the times there Daily Mail. I saw these "drug" videos on youtube ages ago and they do nothing at all to you. Just a classic media freak out about something they didn't bother to really research at all.

The only "digital high" I've ever gotten was from playing Gridrunner Revolution. Now that game gets you HIGH!

I have heard about it more than 6 months ago.

I'm very concerned about this new craze. What if instead of beating up and robbing the elderly for his welfare cheque or get drunk and vandalise a house with graffiti they sit in the corner and listen to music?

There'll be anarchy.

... am i the only one is wholly confused?

How can you get high off a youtube video? The soundtrack makes your brain change like real physical drugs?
