Has anyone fooled around with this? Can someone tell me exactly how it works. The manual confused me on this topic?

In a nutshell, the brain responds to very low frequencies, and the manipulation thereof. And since the digital audio realm is an easy mark for mathematical manipulation (which is what we're all doing with CE, no matter what we're doing), it stands to reason one could implement this "shifting about" to produce binaural effects that affect the brain.
But only on headphones, effectively.
:-)
I don't think too many people here are qualified to give an in-depth explanation - I'm certainly not. And I haven't seen that too many members of the forum have experimented extensively with it. But if you do, let us know what you discover!
All the best... -Jon

So basically you add it to any wave file like an effect right?? Well, i'm going to have to play with it some. sounds interesting!

I thought it was some kind of yoga-type relaxation thing...

i've read that applying brainwave synchronization to just any wav file is not what it was intended for. usually only white noise (created with CoolEdit) is used to create some sort of meta-physical relaxation therapy. you could try it with music but i think the modulation of the wav would just be irritating and not really give any benefits. unless thats what you're after.

I tryed using the brainwave synchronizer, but the command is 'gray' even when i select a piece of a wav file. Does anyone know what that means?

The pioneer in this field of using binaural beats to create altered brainwave states was Robert Monroe, who founded the Monroe Institute. If you want a basic explanation of this phenomenon (plus samples) see their website at: monroeinstitute.org

I saw the brainwave thing when I first got the CE demo 3 or 4 years ago. My first response was to ask myself how many people really have sound cards, stereos, and recording media that will reproduce frequencies as low as 4-5 hz. It seems pretty unlikely that many people do. I think most subwoofers only dip down to, what, 10-15 hz? But hey, put it on a subliminal stop smoking CD and make yourself a fortune!

Hey z,
I think you might have missed an important facet of what this is all about:
As I've come to understand it, this concerns a modulation frequency that occurs with respect to the two binaural channels - not a frequency that is to be actually reproduced by any transducer. (so you won't need to go out and buy a head-shaker!)
Best... -Jon

Thank you Jonrose. That seems a little more plausible. I wonder if I can induce psychosis in my dog with it! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol
