can anyone reply to this and tell me what the pure doses do? i want to try them but im afraid because other doses work well and i dont know what these do, so im afraid that itll work well and ill start bugging out a lot or something..

they do what you'd expect them to do. they put your brain into whatever brainwave the title of the dose is. alpha and theta are good for meditation, delta for sleep, etc.

but i dont know what i expect them to do.. can you please write me a list on their names and what they do? because that wasnt really informative

I apologize, here you go.

Alpha: (8-13 hz)
This is produced when you are awake and fully conscious, but with your awareness focussed inside, such as when trying to remember something, or when your eyes are closed. For beginner meditation, etc, Alpha is the perfect starting point in moving forward in meditation. Alpha causes Slower brain waves that are conducive to creative problem solving, accelerated learning, mood elevation, stress reduction, etc, characterized by intuitive insights, creative juice, inspiration, motivation, daydreams etc. Relaxed, yet alert.

Beta (13-30 hz)
This is normally generated when you are awake, with the attention focussed outside, dealing with the outside world. It is also generated when you are solving logical problems, such asmental arithmetic. Alert focusing, vitality, concentration on tasks. Earth resonance. Beta causes an increase mental ability, focus, alertness, and IQ.

Delta (0.5-4 hz)
This is normally generated in deep sleep, or when unconsious. Those experienced in deep trance states can generate these waves whilst remaining conscious. Conducive to miracle type healing, divine knowledge, inner being and personal growth, rebirth, trauma recovery, one with the universe experiences (samadhi), near death experience, characterized by unknowing merely a blissful being state such as deep sleep or coma. High level mediation, Delta can assit you reach peak monk-type levels.

Gamma 25-34.75 hz)
Gamma is associated with information-rich task processing and high-level information processing "A New Theory of Consciousness" For scientists who study the human brain, even its simplest act of perception is an event of astonishing intricacy. Gamma brain activity may be a kind of binding mechanism. Gamma waves serve to connect structures in the cortex where advanced information processing occurs, and the thalamus, a lower brain region where complex relay and integrative functions are carried out. Gamma pulses are thought to lead to synchronization and coordination of neurons assigned to the processing of incoming sensory stimulation. Put in computerese, Gamma may be the brain's operating system frequency.

Theta (4-8 hz)
This is the region between sleep and wakefulness, in which dreaming and other dream-like or hypnagogic experiences occur. It's that bit just before you actually fall asleep at night, or just before you are really awake in the morning. They say it's in this band that the unconscious talks to the conscious mind. It also seems to be connected with psychic or ESP-type functioning. Found in states of deep relaxation, theta activity is also associated with bursts of creative insight, twilight sleep, learning and vivid mental imagery. It is also found in more advanced meditators.
