If you've ever closed your eyes, listened to SAW and just drifted off, you might be very interested in this.
Brainwave Generator
This is a program for your PC that uses a technology called binaural beats with a tone generator (and also screen flashes), in order to alter your brainwaves. You can get into any state of mind within about 15 minutes. Use it to quickly relax, focus attention, meditate, or to deeply deeply relax until you have 'out of body experience'-like effects. With it, I've had some incredible experiences. Just ignore the new-age crap some people connect it with, and try it out, knowing what to expect from it. You can find all you need to know from the pages on that site and the links page. You can download the program there, it's shareware. I would explain binaural beats and entrainment here, it's very interesting, but there's good info on the site. Do check it out, you won't be disappointed.

i did some brainwave emission researches before...it's quite amuzing,cos it's works 100% on the natural process of sending enjoyable frequencies to stimulate the brain.
it's a very interresting topic to talk about.

when i was younger i constructed light goggles out of leds, old safety glasses and tinfoil..... using an old dos machine it is fairly easy to bang up some qbasic code to do patterns and such on the lights in front of your eyes. i had it hooked up to the parralell port and you can just swith the data lines hi/low to turn a light on or off. dos allowed direct access to the system ports(its harder with windows). then i had recordings of slightly different tones on each channel, which induced the beat frequency. 400/404hz i remember being good.

eghh..... 15? not pointless! fun! i had(still have) an incredibly old 4mhz laptop that worked just great for it, i had the software all written with preset patterns, like you can just flash all the lights on together, or have the eyes alternate, or even have the 4 lights infront of each eye do special patterns. it was really cool. i should pull it out. the goggles were great looking too- big shiny tinfoil things (to reflect the light towards you more) with a big bundle of solid core telco wire coming down from it. rock.

I've thouight about making some LED goggles for it too. Although using the visual effects in that program is pretty good. Some of the builtin settings on it aren't so good, other people have made better ones, you can get them from the site under preset library. or you can just make some crazy preset yourself. I made one that goes up to 60Hz with a really high carrier frequency, it makes me feel hyper, stressed and in pain because of this terrible sound at the same time :D

I've heard of something similar to this. I believe it is called Hemme-Sync. So, have you had any lucid dreams or out of body experiences yet? And if you have had an out of body experience, was it real time?

Hemi-Sync are a company that make these sounds I think. Not lucid dreams, although I have used some presets with this program that run all night, and my dreams were very vivid, I could remember them. Out of body experiences, well, from reading about what to expect with this, other people's experiences, I've got very close to it, but no not yet. I think a big part of it could be what you expect to happen, and as i'm a bit of a skeptic, maybe it's harder for me to get all the effects.
The effects I get include a feeling of falling/swaying, sound hallucination, and once or twice really strong feelings of vibrations going up from my spine to my head, that's pretty intense :)

I'm sceptical about OOB experiences as well. I think it's just a vivid dream rather than projected conciousness.

Oh definitely, yeah. I read that it's due to the part of your brain that organises your senses shutting down.

It would be cool if it were projected conciousness though...
