Drugs are addictions, regardless of what form they take. There are two kinds of addictions: addiction related to the consumption of products, but also addiction related to work dependence or “workaholism”. But a new study indicates that scientists have discovered a new form of addiction that allows the individual to escape. These are digital sounds or binaural beats.
These can generate conflicting frequencies in each ear. Listening to these sounds regularly would allow the individual to reduce physical pain, but also emotional pain such as stress, anxiety and would even help fight depression.
A survey was carried out
People are now experimenting with digital drugs delivered by sound, according to a study published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Review. An addiction therefore occurs when an individual cannot do without a psychoactive substance, and suffers negative effects as soon as there is a cessation or abstention. the Global Drug Survey in Australia and the United Kingdom conducted a survey of 30,000 people in 22 countries combined. 5% of these people have already used binaural beats and one in 10 would use them for purely recreational purposes.
Most consumers were teenagers in their twenties. The age range corresponds to those who take drugs such as cannabis. But many people have claimed to use this method as a sleep therapy or to improve concentration and memory.
Binaural beat is not a new invention
The survey revealed that this phenomenon is increasingly widespread all over the world. But its existence dates back well beyond our time. He made his first appearance at the 19and century. It has therefore been cited in the literature. Binaural rhythms are seen more as an art form than as a source of addiction. Moreover, these beats create changes in the brain, because our sensory system interprets low frequency sounds differently, especially when they are introduced separately into each ear.
Indeed, it is therefore a question of listening to a sound in different tones, for example 400 hertz in one and 440 hertz in the other. The brain, on the other hand, combines everything at a frequency of 40 hertz. This combination is due to the functioning of neurons that are linked to the brainstem and which associate directly with the wave patterns, which promotes relaxation.
