I do still actively wonder what portion of the effects are real vs placebo in audio "treatments". I'm not certain I am sold on things like binaural beats and such, but I do believe that pleasing music that relaxes the brain for a person can be real. It's just highly person dependent. One persons calming effect with hard rock is another person's anxiety source. Would be incredible if it allowed for better understanding of this.
- agumonkey 1y agoI was regularly surprised how music could restore 'colors' in my emotions even in the darkest times. Quite mind-blowing that something that looks completely abstract and removed from evolutionary advantage could have so much impact.
- skeledrew 1y agoBinaural beats usage has worked pretty well for me in the past. Maybe think of it as the most pure form music (from a functional perspective) can take. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44258339 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44258339
