Brain Machines???

[Guest Von Stackelberg]

Hmmm... seems there's a way to have the effects of drugs on your brain without destroying your health after all... I heard some people say that doctors doing research in LSD usage in the 60s (when it was legal...) moved to other researches once drug usage was banned from the US and most developed countries. They continued to work on "brain machines" capable of stimulating the brain cells through electric and magnetic impulses that copy the ones emitted by the human brain. So has anyone tried such devices? Do they really work or are just a marketing gimmick? Any known side-effects?

[Guest Soulhunter]

I use my cd-player with a good psytrance-comp in it.

 

That's my brainmachine , but it sounds interesting, Moonie

[Guest Elfie]

I see your from Belgium, there's a really interesting serie on dutch television (ned.1) every thursday at 23.00h. It's called "Brainstory". Well maybe you saw it alraedy, because there was this machine like a helmet, you put it on and you have great hallucinations!! So it's healthier than taking LSD every day ha!!

[Guest PsyKaos]

they're even working on genetically manipulating human brain so you get the constant feeling you're on MDMA...

hehe

 

ik ben proefkonijn!

[Guest PsYoNic]

Yeah moondancer give the dutch program a shot.....

[Guest Von Stackelberg]

OK, I'll watch it this evening. But has anybody here actually tried one of these things??

[Guest PsYoNic]

I think it's impossible 'cause those machines are used in medical and psychological experiments.....maybe a good idea to give it a commercial launch

[Guest Setsuko]

image everybody on a psytrance party dances with a helmet on their head

[Guest Von Stackelberg]

but I think that some of them have already been... I know I often saw a device that looks like some glasses which you put on and make some wierd light patterns which are supposed to be at the same frequency as your brain waves. This is some sort of brainmachine ancestor. Now it seems they are a lot more complex.

 

Another trippy device is some sort of "isolation chamber". I think a caricature of one was in a Simpson episode. It looked like a giant fridge filled with salty water. My girlfriend said that once she tried one of those and after a few minutes she couldn't tell where she was anymore and she really thought she was losing her mind!! Anyone tried those?

[Guest Von Stackelberg]

oops... my reply was at PsYoNic's post.. seems Setsuko posted faster than me...

[Guest Mike Indidginus]

When I was studying psychology I read about some experiments at a university that students were asked to volunteer for - if I remember they were shut away in isolation (no light) for 2 weeks or something. Apparently one of the volunteers went mad and there was a court case... I think dancing at a party near the speaker stack with a bucket on the head would have been better...

[Guest mE]

i'v e seen those "brain machines". I don't buy it. I'd think that would get really annoying real fast. and here is a an annyoing website www.brainmachines.com

[Guest tj]

That site is made by a real trance-freak from NY, who organises some underground parties. He wears the glasses all the time.

[Guest PsYoNic]

I don't think it's about glasses, you can get those flickering things everywhere, but it's about a helmet with some kind of magnets in it that stimulate a specific part of the brain that invoces visual hallucinations (behind closed eyelids)

[ouroboros]

hey tj, his name is ***** well, maybe he doesnt want me to put his real name here =).

hes a cool guy, and he does have the brain machine glasses most of the time. theyre pretty expensive though, and dont really do much. i went to target and baught those little colored flashlights with the plastic tube on them...they have a strobe setting...if you set two of them on strobe and put them up to your eyes....its the exact same effect, without costing anywhere near what the brain machines cost. he didnt have his one night so i gave hime my little flashlight instead...he loved them. and theyre easier to cary and you can dance with them.

 

im not trying to be a dick and tell people not to buy them...i like him hes always been cool to me, its just that if you cant afford them...my way is an alternative.

[Guest spirit_dancer]

nice nice...oroboros...whats the name of the glasses...i think i might just have to take a trip over to target and get myself a pair.

[ouroboros]

theyre not glasses. go to the flashlight section. they have all types of cool little flashlights at target now. you can get some that are like photons (they look cooler, but dont have a constant on switch) for 5 bucks each instead of 15. you will also see the lights im talking about. they look like little light sabers. they have 2 buttons on them. ones is a touch on/ let go off switch, the other is a constant on/ off and mode change switch. i think there only 6 bucks. they look damned cool (im fond of the blue) and then you can just set them to stobe and put the ends up to youre eyes.

 

i would like to re-iterate though..the brain machines do what they do better than these...because you can just wear them like glasses and sit back and enjoy. my way you have to hold them up to your eyes the whole time. but this way you can move the lights around while they flash...a cool effect you cant do with the brain machines. the effect is exactly the same though which ever way you go.

 

if you can afford them get the brain machines.....besides youll look cooler with them than holding up little lights to your face....and we all know how important it is to look cool =)

[Guest sunconscious]

a few tokes of weed from a bong! viola brain machine

[Guest mE]

damn that brain machine thing is stupid. Just a bunch of flashy lights? I thought they like aligned with your brain waves or some bull @!#$ like that. I guess it IS bullshit. Flashy flashlights aren't going to trip me out. Might piss me off though... lol "brain machines"

[Guest tequila]

so, finally, what is your real nickname monndancer?

what's next?

[Guest Michael Jackson]

guess again tequila...

 

 

As for the brain machine thing, the glasses with flash lights were just the beginning!! Now you have some sort of electrodes you put on your head and they induce hypnotic images without directly adressing the eyes! I haven't tried one yet, though...

[Guest space^madness]

those glasses with the flash lights are meant for inducing lucid dreams, astral projection/oobe (out-of-body-experiences). never tried them though, don't need a blinking light in your eyes to induce cool dreams.

For the real deal go here:

 

www.mindmodulations.com

 

"brain/mind machines" are indeed real and some are very impressed with them... The details on how they work I believe can be found on that website

 

The test mice have reported interesting results with combining various psychoactives with them, as you might imagine...
