This process was designed by one Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839 and since then is believed to stimulate the brain, creating the most diverse effects on our perception.

The brain, the theory of Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, a similar phenomenon occurs internally. In conclusion, depending on the sounds and frequencies used in this method may produce different simulated states of perception. This is known as “synchronization of brain waves.” Those who study this phenomenon are mostly neuroscientists seek to investigate the sense of hearing. However, since there are those who managed to “synthesize” the binaural beats to recreate the effect of certain drugs. I-Doser is the first program of its kind that we know of.

Many employers, to withstand the frantic pace of their jobs, to “live”, are caught up in this world. A world at all recommended. Unfortunately, this is so.
Taking certain test substance as cocaine, can be extremely harmful to our health.

This is the real problem and drug use have the best way to see it. Moreover, the danger is that drugs are associated with leisure, so that consumption and addiction generating just comes a time in which the drug user becomes addicted, the drugs have dominated: pathology of freedom.
