Hi,

You can read more about binaural beats etc for instance on the following site.

My understanding is that Binaurals are a method to put Your mind into
a hyppnotically receptive state. Under Hypnosis You are in what is called a theta state. Brainwaves from 4 to 8 Hz, Lower frequency being deeper in trance. You can't just produce a 4Hz tone, because it is too low a frequency for the ear to hear. The solution? Produce higher tones, but make the left ear and right ear hear the same tone with a 4Hz offset.
It turns out You can take the spoken audio, make it stereo if it isn't already, and raise or lower the frequency of the audio in one channel
by 4Hz, then Output the whole thing as an MP3 Audio file. The result is that it fools Your brain into thinking it is recieving a 4Hz tone, and the brainwaves fall into step with that tone.
The final effect being, of course, that You fall into trance more easily.

A look at torrentspy.com may result in more info.

I hesitate to post this (I don't like to knock anyone’s belief in anything), but seeing as how most people here seem to have a short attention span and this is now at the bottom of a very long technical thread I will share with you my observations on subliminal messages:

***SPOILER ALERT***

There have been thousands of case studies all across the globe. Different methods, different mediums, it's all been done. Subliminals do not work. There are subliminal queues like Red is supposed to make you thirsty and Orange makes you hungry, etc... but there is no evidence to support that subliminal messages are even reaching your subconscious. The reason the colors work is because of your "Reptilian" brain responding to very simple stimuli, but language is not being processed at this level. Think about how you watch TV... do you "zone out" during the commercials? That's a trance; your consciousness is not challenging the information going in. Guess what... You aren't buying life insurance and Nike's with reckless abandon. This is the same principle the subliminal files are trying to employ and it is one of a few things on here that really does a disservice to the site as it is completely unfounded with no scientific basis. In order for a suggestion to reach your subconscious your conscious mind must first parse the suggestion from English into ideas the subconscious mind can understand.

***SPOILER ALERT***

EMG or any moderator that feels this message is potentially harmful to the community even with the warning is welcome to remove it, as I really don't want to hurt anyones belief. It just seemed appropriate here that while we are talking shop and trying to get serious about the tech behind everything we should fess up on this point.

Yet some people still report sucess with them.

So whether or not they should work really is besides the point.

I guess it all comes down to how much you are able to beleive a thing or not. If you are able to accept suggestions easily sublims will work if your mind is overanalyzing you will have problems with both subliminals and normal files. :)
