Ask HN: Do you code to binaural beats?
Are they bullshit or what? I have been looking for scholarly papers and anything repeatable. If I can trigger the placebo effect it looks like I should be buying some crystals to go with my monitor.

- Cybernetic 12y agoDo you have experience with specific recordings that aren't placebo? Can you please share links to those? I would be interested in listening to them, thanks!
- gaalze 12y agoCould you recommend a pdf or mp3 specifically? I'm really looking for an mp3 to put on repeat.
- mcpoyles 12y agoJust go to Youtube and search Binaural beats you will have all you need.
- gaalze 12y agoWell if I'm going by the youtube binaural beats I might as well buy crystals and magnetic bands for my wrists. Is there a .edu with a binaural beats mp3?
- orik 12y agoDifferent offset frequencies have different effects so you should do more research and maybe experiment with some different beats before you just put one on repeat. Some beats made me sleepy others made me agitated. You're probably looking for something to make you focused.

- api 12y agoI've used them. The effect is slight but seems to be there. At the very least it's a nice soothing background sound. There's a nice app for iOS called Binaural, and an open source program called sbagen.
