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 method is based on play two sounds very similar.

The only difference between the two sounds are the frequencies, and that is supposed to create a state of altered perception. Why? 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. From the FAQ ‘s official website , reads: “Using scientific methods, proven and safe sync your brain waves, creating a state of stimulation through the use of our audio CD, or I-Doser our application, along with a pair of headphones of good quality.

Drug addiction is a disease that involves the dependence of substances affecting the central nervous system and brain functions, causing changes in behavior, perception, opinion and emotion. The effects of drugs vary widely, depending on the type of drug and the amount or frequency with which they consume. Can produce hallucinations, intensify or dull the senses, causing feelings of euphoria or despair. Some drugs can even lead to insanity or death.

Dependence produced by drugs can be of two types:
- Physical dependence: The body becomes in need of drugs, so much so that when the consumer stops ensuing strong physiological disorders, which is known as withdrawal.
- Psychic dependence: The state of euphoria you feel when consuming drugs, and leads to find again the consumer to prevent discomfort or for pleasure. The individual feels an urgent need to take drugs, and experience a crash when you do not get emotional.

Some drugs produce tolerance, which leads the addict to consume greater quantities of drugs each time, as the body adjusts to the consumption and a greater quantity of substance to achieve the same effect.

Dependence, mental or physical, caused by drugs can be very strong, enslaving the will and moving other basic needs such as eating or sleeping. The need is stronger drug. The person loses all concept of morality and does things that, if not under the influence of drugs, would not do, like lying, stealing, prostitution and even murder. The drug becomes the center of the drug addict’s life, affecting all aspects: work, family and interpersonal relationships, studies, etc.
