Wait, what?
*Facepalm*They believe the repetitive drone-like music will give them a ‘high’ that takes them out of reality, only legally available and downloadable on the Internet.
Mind you, it didn't work that well when I tried it with Loop and Spacemen 3 20 years ago...
Genius...just geniusMade my keyboard smell like hammers.

Kids these days with their long hair and their loud music and their hippy hoppies. In my day, we stayed on our own lawn hurling respect at random elders.

Some fine trolling going on in the comments. iDosing has been around for years before Fox News decided to pick up on the horrors of it recently. Seems like the UK equivalent of the right wing scaremongers have decided to tag along.
what a bunch of crock.
I have a better fail from the mirror

- F Prince, Belair, US, 21/7/2010 13:17I was at a local basketball court in Philadelphia and some friends and I were playing a game. A couple of guys came down the street and they were listening to headphones. They were talking crazy and started fighting. Turns out, they were "dosing." My mom was so upset she sent me to live with my aunt and uncle here in California.

Judging by the agonised faces of the 'victims' I suspect they're simply listening to JLS.

My jawdropped when I read that pile of bilge. I had to double check the URL as I thought I'd gone to a spoof site instead of a "respected" newspaper.

The comments are nothing short of gold though, utterly hilarious!
Binaural beats aren't exactly new - psychologists and neurologists have studied the phenomenon (or apparent phenomenon) for years. The research is patchy at best and there's no conclusive evidence either way - although it's been shown that they can reduce anxiety problems over long periods of time.
Beat waves are a simple physical phenomena in themselves - you get beats when you play two tones that are slightly above and below a certain frequency (say f = x + dx and f = x - dx). You can hear it fairly obviously on a plane when they start spooling the engines up, it's the throbbing sound. The effect is basically an "imaginary" frequency which is quantitatively easy to predict and appears to oscillate in amplitude. If I remember my physics right, you get a wave that has a frequency of 2dx. Supposedly if you tune the carrier waves so that the beat is in the same range as your brain's, you can make it do strange things.
You can make your own "doses" simply by downloading a tone generator and opening multiple windows with different frequencies playing - that's all they are. i-Doser has merely capitalised on them.
For the book, I tried a freeware version and all it did was make me sleepy - as you might expect a repetitive tone to. It's all bunk.
I have never heard so my utter crap in all my life. if that's the case and sounds can affect you like this, why has it never been picked up on before?
Not only that, if sounds could do this to you, I'd be sat with epic couchlock when I listen to a bit of Bob Marley or climbing the walls when I have some Angry Goose or Pendulum playing.
You know whats going to happen now? Kids will experiment with realdrugs and when they get caught by their parents due to changes in their eyes or other symptoms, they'll just say "oh I've idosed' and shown them the mp3 on their player.
