What do you mean by asking if they work?

I tried some of the ones in youtube, I got results from some. Other videos made ridiculous claims, but I got no results from them.

So what kind of "work" do you want them to do?

Haven't read up on binaurals, but here are some more or less educated guesses, backed mostly by knowledge about audio engineering.

The brain mostly uses the difference in phase of an audio signal to resolve spacial information.

The perception of frequency is unaffected by this, although a few very sensitive listeners are able to hear differences in phase in some tests.

The use of different frequencies can create the illusion of a lower frequency for the auditory system.

This is were brain wave theory comes in, or more precisely the assumption, you could alter the brain wave frequency by specially prepared audio signals.

If such frequency change was to be inducible by these means, the usual headphones in combination with the human insensitivity to low frequencies effectively makes it impossible to even remotely get close to the frequencies, which are usually referenced, when talking about anything less than a state of high alertness.

Binaural audio, as in stereo headphone audio with phase-accurate recording, is not completely bs, but the frequency brain wave talk most likely is just that.

Something else that might have some basis, could be multiple voices at different volume e.g. background audio, different virtual sound sources and so on. Anything, that might help to activate both halfes of the brain simultaneously.

>does binaural beats actually work ?

The short answer is "It depends."

Here is the long answer.

Music or tones absolutely can influence your emotional state. It also can influence breathing patterns. It also can stimulate excitement or arousal. It can make it easier to persevere in tasks. It can remove stress.

It can 'maybe' make you more confident. It 'might' make you more receptive to other forms of hypnosis or other self-change mediums.

What it can not do is make actual physical changes to your body. It can not turn a large adult male into a small framed female. It can not make a man suddenly start to develop breasts. It can not change your jaw structure. It can not change the color of your eyes. It can not make your nose change shape. It can not make your penis grow larger or the reverse turn into a female sexual organ. It can not make you rich. It can not make you famous. It can not make you attractive to someone you desire. It can not make your scalp hair suddenly start growing out more. It can not recover you from baldness. It can not make your facial or body hair become finer or vanish completely. Nor can it make that facial and body hair grow thicker.

It also can not make actual mental changes. It will not by itself suddenly make a straight male suddenly develop a craving for the male body, or any other changes like that. It will not make a person fall in love with someone. It will not erase bad memories or implant new memories. It will not make a submissive person more dominant or vice versa.

They may work because hypnosis works and a lot of hypnosis tracks use them in the background.

They give the mind something to listen to while not really paying attention to the voice tracks.

People get used to hearing them, such that the sound is an anchor or trigger for a nice relaxed state.

ohh okay i kinda got what you guys meant . thank you ,

could you guys give me audios or links that worked for you ? many youtube vid comments are filled with comments like "omg it worked" so its really hard to say whether its real or not

Don't listen to these guys. They clearly don't know much of anything. From first hand experience I can tell you it works really well. For some it works instantly for others months before it works. Masturbation will make it hard for your brain to be entrained. It took me some months before it really worked well. You can literally experience anything, intense hallucinations, whatever. Just keep on trying every day and it will 100% eventually work if you don't give up. Here's a powerful one that really works well: https://hooktube.com/watch?v=1MqftGYH8vM

Wow. Ok just ignore my 50920 post then. Obviously i know nothing. I guess the years of studying cognitive psychology and how the brain works both chemically and physically means nothing. Knowing how the brain interprets sound means nothing. Knowing how the brain responds when inaudible sound waves bombard it means nothing.

Gee, glad we are all clear that actual tested knowledge testing these things in a lab fails next to anecdotal commentary.

I can get pretty strong physical sensation from binaurals. Though manifesting physical transformation seems impossible. However, our repeated behavior does alter our looks, style and posture, eye contact… Through eating habits and other such things we alter our hormonal states, and through that we can slightly alter our physical looks. Very limited, since our biology is limited.

If you look like a thug, you probably are, as a result of living like a thug. I think binaurals can be one thing among many that will result in a change, but can't do much alone. Sensation, sure. Maybe put a body part on / off, and alter some hormones directly, but I doubt that effect is anything but neglible if you don't focus your entire life on altering your hormones anyway. Say, adrenaline is one such hormone.

I do not want to be impolite. But it only takes a minute to find a paper like this:

So, apart form my conclusion in >>50894 I was pretty close about the generation of lower frequencies by applying different frequencies to each ear and the connection to brain wave frequencies.

I still think, that usual headphones will have problems reproducing such frequencies at a reasonable level. Also this research mainly suggests, you can change the mind state by specially prepared audio signals. The whole physical effects talk is still just a dream.

holyshit thats an insane video thanks for sharing

Do you know others like that?

Do you have any experience with physical changes?

>trying to wave credentials around on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

>>52832

I don't normally wave my background info around because like you said, this is not exactly a place for that. First it is hard to investigate claims, and second perhaps more importantly no one really cares.

At the same time however, it truly aggravates me when someone makes blanket claims that everyone else "knows nothing" just because there is a disagreement.

Generally speaking, if someone has to make such blanket claims it is merely that their own case is quite light on proof or backup results beyond personal opinion.

This is why I used sarcasm quite thoroughly to shame that person for such an inadequate response.

Why do the dumbest people always have to tell everybody how smart they are?

For the little einsteins here: I know the dunning kruger effect, this was a rhetorical question.

>>52855

You didn't shame anyone. You just claimed credentials, and as someone who has a doctorate in Chemistry, Psychology and Basket Weaving you seem like a drooling ignoramus who has to wave his e-peen. Go ahead and dox ypurself and maybe we'll consider you qualified sperg.
