I might follow up on this project with a binaural beat box project.

maybe ... Make a "dreamachine" out of paper like in the picture,
cut holes and roll it into a tube,
and put it on a turntable and put a light bulb inside it,
and stare at it with eyes closed. (mid 1900's invention)

SoulFinger: the DreamMachine you made really works? I can't find reliable information on the spacing. Nor can I find the book you mentioned. Where did you find yours? VIRON: The binaural beat box sounds like i-doser, have you tried it and if so, does it work?

I agree. I tried some of the bwgen track and some other sites, and there are some of them which can make you woozy, but I really doubt that they can make you feel high. But then, what would I know, I like my brain cells and stay away from drugs. Just say no. I do think that the binaural beats do have an effect on your state of mind though.

I built a dream machine using this method shortly after reading John Geiger's Chapel of Extreme Experience (amazing little book). I sized/spaced the slits so that they would create flicker in the "alpha" range (10-12 Hz, if I remember correctly). I would certainly perceive an explosion of bright colors and moving shapes ... really throws the mind into a tizzy. Thanks for the instructable ... I think you've inspired me to rebuild my little turntable powered mind candy. Cheers.
