hey proudmanlet, good thread.

What would you recommend for a guy whos stressed out alot and kinda depressed? Im going through a pretty hard time atm (wont get into details) and I think I would def benefit if I could get my brain to relax a little. I have done meditation before but never really kept up with it, I think once a day for 1 month was the max I did. I also never listened to any of these brainwaves before I think, I just googled "meditiation relaxing" for example and picked the first ytube video I saw.

I will read about this and search for videos myself but if you got any tips like which waves or any ytube link specifically for my description I would be very grateful. Always nice to get help from someone with knowledge.

hai bro <3 sorry I didn't see this before

first thing I recommend u try is alpha waves, they r basically the GOAT for general relaxation! alpha state is basically the normal relaxed but still awake state, try just listening to them for hour or so either just relaxing doing nothing else or while u r doing something else (but NOT driving etc lol)

if u feel u need stronger relaxation try theta waves, theta state is next deeper level of relaxed which is the state ur brain is in right before u fall asleep/wake up/dream, might put u to sleep so pls stay safe

also try gamma waves, gamma is good for overall better mood, gamma is kinda the GOAT general wave that both relaxes u but also can make u more alert and overall happier

so try all three of these but main one for general stress relief normally is start with alpha


THIS LINK HAS GREAT FREE YOUTUBE TRACKS FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT BRAINWAVES: http://m.youtube.com/user/FulLengthBinaurals

remember:
-if they say BINAURAL only=u must listen with HEADPHONES for it to work
-if they say ISOCHRONIC=u can use speakers and still get same effect (I would say u need halfway decent stereo speaker setup for it to work tho, probs not just like laptop speakers or phone etc)

Thanks alot, you are the man! Day 6 of meditation 30-40 minutes today, I won't back out this time. I enjoy it alot and it really make you relaxed, I'm also lying on a spikemat while doing it.

No-fap and meditation once a day, im going superhuman mode.

[yg7s7]

this is one of my favorite theta isochronic tones I use for meditating

the website is down though lol what happened

Yeah, I shut it down. I just don't have the time to properly invest in it anymore. I figure if I am not going to give it all then no need for a half ass product/website out there.

u r welcome bro! <3 u, good luck with ur superhuman goals of 2014!

do you know if it still works with other sounds running at the same time? say running audio of brainwaves together with music at 50/50 80/20 or such to make it less repetitive while still clearly hearable/audible? or does it have to be pretty much all you can hear? and how has your couples of years with it been?

Holy fuk... I can't wait til this tech develops!

Also... here is a channel on YouTube I like to use for brainwaves:



FulLengthBinaurals is the name of the channel.

yes it does work with other sounds and personally I really like using them with real music, usually prefer listening to real music longer than with new age sounds etc that many tracks have, here r couple good resources for pure brainwave tones that r good to play along with real music

http://download.cnet.com/iBrainWave-...-10963778.html iOS app (not sure if there's android version available) that let's u play binaural waves at any frequency u want with music on iPhone/iPad, must use headphones since binaural

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...029248-5340862 album of pure isochronic tones, u can download these tracks on computer and play along with music, since isochronic they will work without headphones if u have halfway decent stereo speaker setup

still using them everyday for various things and finding helpful, here r some specific ways I use them almost everyday:

-meditation and getting mind in state to receive affirmations/visualization for goals I'm working on etc--theta waves
-relaxing, chilling out when feeling anxiety etc--alpha waves
-energy boost, focus on work--gamma waves

also I usually don't have trouble sleeping but whenever I do I put on delta waves and it almost always works to put me to sleep

Holy fuk... I can't wait til this tech develops!

agree that channel is GOAT source for quality free tracks!

I love binaural & isochronic tones and have created/used them extensively during multiple activities from meditating to reading. I have also experimented with other brain enhancing supplements ranging from nootropics to brain training programs. My new self research has led me down the tDCS path which is pretty awesome. After about ten minutes of �stimulation�, I can definitely feel a difference. When I read, my brain starts connecting whatever I am reading to personal experiences or how I can apply those lessons to my life for improvement. I literally pause during the reading and auto reflect on personal experiences and how they relate to the material at hand. I also find myself in a "giddy" type mood. I have tried meditating once with it but had a very negative effect that led to a scar (more to this story later).

What is tDCS?

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation which uses constant, low current delivered directly to the brain area of interest via small electrodes. It was originally developed to help patients with brain injuries such as strokes. Tests on healthy adults demonstrated that tDCS can increase cognitive performance on a variety of tasks, depending on the area of the brain being stimulated.[1] It has been utilized to enhance language and mathematical ability, attention span, problem solving, memory, and coordination. � Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcr...nt_stimulation)

Here are a couple of the studies on the effects and benefits of tDCS including:

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Prefrontal Cortex Enhances Complex Verbal Associative Thought
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3005595/

Working memory improvement with non-invasive brain stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24514153

Transcranial direct current stimulation for depression: 3-week, randomised, sham-controlled trial.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22215866

Here is the model I bought:


This is the placement I always use and find VERY effective.


It is on both temples. Black (cathode) on left temple and red (anode) on right temple at 2 mA. I use sponges soaked in salt water with my kit. It saves money compared to the expensive electrodes they sell on most websites. I also believe that heavily salted water in sponges delivers the current better than those electrodes as well. I could be wrong but I have had positive experiences so far.



However, everyone's brain is wired differently so this is where self experimentation pays off.



I was going to start a new thread but seen how quickly the other tDCS threads died so I figured I would post this in a thread of "outside" thinkers to ensure like minded people could be "awared".

I don't want to hi-jack proudmanlet's thread but this fits nicely with altering our brainwaves through an alternate means from binaural or isochronic tones.



Additional notes to this long ass post... I have had about 9 beers so there may be typos but this shouldn't detract from the info at hand. Thanks and if anyone is interested I can share my notes and personal anecdotes with tDCS.

just left humanity behind

So if I listen to this am I still natty?!? Also thanks for providing lols

no worries bro =] u know I <3 u and ur quality contributions to this thread and this sounds interesting as fuk, anyhow not too worried about 2 year old thread getting hijacked lol it's had a good run already

[proudmanlet]

recently been asked a few times about using these for helping u SLEEP so here's just a quick simple instructions for that purpose:


here's youtube channel that has awesome tracks for all the different waves http://m.youtube.com/?reason=8&rdm=6...ient=mv-google

for sleep use DELTA waves

if the track says it ONLY includes BINAURALS u MUST use HEADPHONES for it to work, over ear headphones work much better than earbuds generally so if u have actual headphones strongly recommend u use them vs earbuds

if track includes ISOCHRONIC tones then it will also work on stereo speakers, so those u can just play thru stereo speakers and don't need headphones and will still work, should work with decent computer speakers but if u have a legit stereo/HT system u can play it thru even better

either way just put a delta track on play and lay back and relax and let it work

BUMP!

I have been listening to Jason Lewis - MindAmend on YouTube here lately.

I don't remember if his stuff was mentioned previously but it is great.

[darklift]

Proudmanlet m8 I love you dude no homo. This works for me. At least the Beta and Gamma. Did Beta before going to gym and found heart rate rising. Now using Gamma to study and it's a weird feeling but it's like your mind is ready to absorb information.

How is your experience after 3 years. Do you still use it

Also Big Bump for unawares

hehe ty men =]

yes I still use it almost everyday! still works for me, the main uses I use it for r:
-theta for meditating, also sometimes for visualization exercises for goals etc
-alpha or theta for relaxing
-gamma for focus on work/studying things, also good for just improving ur mood if u r feeling down and/or stressed
-delta when I have trouble sleeping

this stuff really works to help improve ur life in very natural and easy way!

[Arkileon]

k will do

Certain type of asmr videos help me relax, works even better with scotch.

morning bump

This is my first and probably last post here for a while. Can’t keep chasing rabbits, gotta find some work. This was interesting, Be seeing y’all around sometime. Never would’ve thought I would meet a couple kindred in this band of misfits. Anyway this thread reminded me of why I chased the rabbit in the first place. I doubt anyone will worry, if you do just remember I’m the dude man. Ol buddy knows.

Glad we kinda met,

Wow. I forgot about this thread. Pretty interesting. (Used to have older account)

quit holding out on us. where’s the big PP wave

alpha waves ofc

Hate to say it but this is just broscience not real science. Neuroscientists that spend their lives studying associations between neural activity and macrospoic phenomena are doing pseudoscience.
