Use in the morning at the start of your day or as spot treatment when extra recovery is needed. The Audio Rehab dose attempts to ease the pain of long days of recovery in the most natural holistic way possible. Researchers from Oregon Health and Science University have expressed skepticism over its scientific basis, citing a four-person controlled study of binaural beats that demonstrated no evidence of brainwave entrainment. An addicted recovering brain can be erratic, confused, or fatigued. There are a small number of premium experimental doses costing hundreds of dollars.
Most doses are priced in the US at $1.99-$3.99. I-Doser tracks are usually 30-40 minutes long. The developer claims the separately purchasable content aims to simulate specific mental states through the use of binaural beats, and much of it is named after prohibited recreational drugs. However, those who tried it allegedly said it is nothing but a hoax.ĭigital drugs or I-Doser is an application for proprietary audio content. Many news channels and websites reportedly promoted these digital doses. Websites that promote such drugs has been blocked in the country to prevent adults and teens from accessing them and making such claims, he added. “These are all claims and nothing has been proven.” We cannot consider one or two cases that claim they got high."Ĭolonel Eid Thani Hareb, Director of Dubai Police Anti-Narcotics Department, told this website that they did not register any case of digital drugs addiction. We did not find any reliable studies or proof. “This is not only in the UAE or the region, but also worldwide. Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant to Dubai Police Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs, said there are no reliable studies that prove the effectiveness of digital drugs. Dubai Police has denied such claims saying there are no reliable studies or evidence that these ‘music doses’ can cause a high or addiction. Listen at your own discretion and, y'know, not while you're driving or operating any heavy machinery.News of digital drugs or ‘I-Doser’ giving the same high as normal drugs has been doing the rounds in the recent past. The track "Gates of Hades" can be heard here. Waheh said, "We did a small controlled study with four people, and we did not see any brain wave activity shifting to match the binaural beat that people were listening to." Of course, there are some experts out there who claim that i-dosing is indeed a scam. On the other hand, claims, "We have received many emails from users who have used I-Doser doses to help them kick the habit of recreational drug." As these reports note, the I-Doser website contains links to other sites offering marijuana, hash and pills. In fact, Oklahoma's Mustang Public School District has banned MP3 players in an attempt to combat i-dosing. The whole thing sounds a bit like a scam, but apparently it works - at least judging by the many reaction videos posted on YouTube, showing listeners (usually teenage males) tripping out while listening to a track called "Gates of Hades."ĭespite all the making of an Internet gag, parent groups have already expressed their concern that i-dosing might act a gateway drug (watch this report by Oklahoma City's News 9). These mind-altering sounds are mixed with "soothing backtracks of ambient soundscapes to help the brain induce of state of mood lift, euphoria, sedation, and hallucination." In other words, the MP3s use electronic pulses and drones to synchronize your brain waves. It's been dubbed "i-dosing," and if sensationalistic media reports are to be believed, it's everywhere.Īccording to, a website that makes and sells these apparent digital drugs, "Using proven, scientific, and safe methods of synchronizing your brainwaves, a simulated state can be achieved through the use of our advanced audio CDs, or the I-Doser Application, and a pair of high quality stereo headphones." But the two have never been quite so closely intertwined as now, as kids are apparently turning to the Internet to get high off MP3s. Music listening and drug use have a long-standing connection, from the psychedelic craze of the '60s to the ecstasy-fuelled raves of the '90s.
