[edit] Why the removals?

Why have large parts of this entry been removed? There was nothing inaccurate in there. The use of binaural beats in developing frequency-following responses in the brain is not disputed by conventional science, and in my last addition I even used words like "claimed" and "allegedly." There are links on the Monroe Institute's website to peer-reviewed scientific papers demonstrating how Hemi-Sync works.

In my opinion, nobody had any business removing the parts that have been removed, and if there's no valid objection over the next couple of days I'm going to put it all back in.

It might help to distinguish more clearly between basic binaural beats, the "frequency following response", the additional components proprietary to Hemi-Sync, and the potential benefits. While they may all be equally accepted scientifically, I think most readers would prefer to be able to accept each one on their individual merits, insofar as that's possible.

E.g. binaural beats are relatively easy to understand, and then you can learn about frequency-following and how that's been verified.

E.g., a paper on the website says this: "Hemi-Sync has proven effective in producing enriched learning environments, enhanced memory (Kennerly 1994), improved creativity (Hiew 1995), increased intuition, improved reliability in remote viewing[3] (McMoneagle 1993), telepathy[4], and out-of-body experience[5]". Most people would consider the last three controversial, so it would make them ask whether they should consider the other claims in that sentence controversial.

Explain new ideas in small chunks, and they are easier to accept, and possibly to reject or question individually without rejecting or questioning the whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.32.61.128 (talk) 11:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Binaural Beats and tinnitus

I developed tinnitus after listening to Hemi-Sync recordings for about a week. I'm curious if anyone else had that result. I think people should be made aware of this if it's a known side-effect. Pretty drastic, it has really affected my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pessia (talk • contribs) 21:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
