First, my conclusion is this stuff is real, not placebo, and even the QH stuff works. It does take practice and a bit of "learning."
At first some doses would give a slight buzz and others (especially marijuana) wouldn't do much at all except in flashes where my mind would start to get in the zone. That was fairly frustrating, but I stuck with it. Once I got the condition dose and started every session with that, things progressed much quicker.
I think I understand quite a bit about how these work and what they are doing. Simple binaural beats set up brain waves at a particular frequency. Neural entrainment cause these waves to spread to the majority of the brain. Once a particular frequency can be established an entire multi-frequency signal can be created through signal processing.
In addition to the signal processing aspects, the brain likes to learn through repetition and reinforcement. Where neurons fire a lot, those connections get reinforced. The result is that careful repetition of using idoser trains the brain to better respond to the stimulus.
At about 6 weeks of repeating the pattern of using condition, then 2 or three other iPod doses my response got stronger. Green (iPos MJ) still gives me fits, but ones that really work well are:
* Ecstasy (iPod, sexual), it is female but it is still my favorite. The sexual high of being near orgasm is apparently very similar between genders. The sensations of getting there are quite different. I think women are luckier than men in this. Our stimuli are a bit monochromatic compared to that.
* MultipleO (PC). This is my second favorite and really shows how monochromatic male simuli are. I don't really want to disclose how detailed these sensations get for me, but lately it has been pretty amazing. I am starting to work on training my responses to the Viagra dose hoping it can be as clear. I'd much rather have a male oriented dose, but the current ones are great to understand the female point of view! I hope to put that knowledge to good use very soon.
* Trip. This was the first one that worked consistently well. I would use idoser before sleep and then wake in the middle of the night having a flashback. My brain was probably replaying it and trying to rewire to it.
* Nitrous Oxide. Pretty good. I have yet to get that spontaneuos giggle the real thing can cause, but this brings a good buzz without too much effort.
* Opium another good effortless buzz
* Heroin. The real thing is really addictive so this scares me a bit. This dose seems to dig into the more ancient parts of your brain and stimulate the pleasure centers. No worries!
* Cocaine QH. I was really in the zone the other day and each half of my brain got high independently. I've never used the real thing, but this was a big surprise and really cool. I tried for days to recreate it but haven't. I know it is there though.
* Viagra. Not used very long, so I am not certain what is exactly encoded into this. This is what I am currently working on. Had flashes of what it felt like when I was much younger. This is not a dose simulating viagra, I don't think. It is closer to a male version of ecstasy without such an emphasis on staying close to orgasm. [Edit] I think this is more about making things happen in the real world after the dose is over than overt sensations during the dose, but I have to experiment more to confirm.
* Hash. Still working on it. Pretty good but for some reason it is difficult for me get to get all the way though without falling out of the zone.
Tips: Don't drink too much before using idoser. Alcohol dramatically blurs and dulls the effects. A little caffeine might help. Use the condition dose before every session if you want to max out results. The idea is to create a brainwave of a particular pattern (the dose). I think the base carrier for this is encoded in condition. Try to get that 18Hz buzz throughout your brain as smooth as glass. No stray thoughts, no undue body tension (forcing your body to stay rigid is also a distraction and a form of tension, don't do it), and a uniform buzz throughout the brain front to back. If you can get that these doses really start to pop.
I always have part of my attention focused on the base binaural beat. If you don't hear it you have become distracted and the dose loses effectiveness. Some doses really hide the beat so on those just listen to everything.
If you don't have much time or don't want to abandon sleep like I have, pick one dose to master. Then use condition followed by that dose every night before sleep. In 3-6 weeks I expect it will dramatically change in how detailed the effects are. Once you gain mastery of condition they all can pop pretty quick.
PC doses are the best, but they suck in that you are tethered to a PC. I won't say how to do it because it could lead to piracy (which is evil, pay for the thing!), but if you digitally (no analog step!!) rip the PC dose and then use lossless encoding it kicks ass on the iPod!
These guys are geniuses.
