IDoser Brainwave Synchronizer Prescription Drug Emulation
It's sounds that affect your brain to give you effects of different drugs and i was wondering if it was possible to port it to the psp.

Hmm i never heard of I-DOSE but if the source code is out then it wouldnt be that hard.

It's also a waste of time because it's totally ineffective. Altering your brain waves will not give you the effects of prescription drugs... geez.

What freeplay is saying is that there is no direct proof that specific tones and tone patterns affect the chemical makeup of the brain as drugs do. He is not arguing on how hard it would be to port (infact, it would be quite easy, even in C), but that this is as much of a science as astrology. The sound processing area of our brains are not even directly linked to our many mood centers that the drugs target.

This is not to say that sound won't affect our mood. Anyone who has watched a movie knows that the background music has huge affect on the precived mood of the film. This is because the sounds are combined with visual stimulation and active thought. Try this: watch a movie you have never seen before with subtitles on and no sound. You'll miss a butt load of the emotions that are in play behind the scenes in the movie. Also, music is linked into memory and is recalled back because of these previous experiances. For example: My perents sang a sad song ("Foggy Dew," Irish folk song) about a war and the brave men lost in it to me as a child. When ever I hear it today, I feel a little sad because I understand the lyrics and know the history, but I feel an even greater joy because I remember my perents singing it to me.

Long expliantion short, Freeplay is saying "why bother with porting this app if it has no basis of working." I have searched via google, and I cannot find any thrid party research in this subject of "neroacoustics" beyond what I have stated above.

----edit----

I found this on the site: "These statments have not been evaluated by the FDA."

And the lyrics for "Foggy Dew." This song chronicles the Easter Uprising of 1916, and encourages Irishmen to fight for the cause of Ireland, rather than as cannon fodder for the British, as so many young men were doing in World War I. Sung in E minor.

Quote:

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum nor battle drum did sound its dread tattoo
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

'Twas England bade our wild geese go, that "small nations might be free";
Their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves or the fringe of the great North Sea.
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha*
Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep, 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.

Oh the night fell black, and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel
In the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel
By each shining blade a prayer was said, that to Ireland her sons be true
But when morning broke, still the war flag shook out its folds the foggy dew

Oh the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few,
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more
But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew.

sound pretty cool...

it makes sounds that help you sleep, it doesnt alter the chemical makeup of your brain (well in theory it would because sleeping changes the "mode" that your brain is in)

Bah, pspkillsds, spamming all forums..

Anyways, I think it would be damn easy to port it, but this is so useless. Just listen to regular music and don't be emo. PLEASE.

1.It may be placebo but it works for me.
2.it also does drugs like cocaine or heroin
3.I'm most certainly not emo.
4.I do listen to music.
5.Guess i'll try to port it then.
