Scientists say a mind-bending rhythm in the brain can act like ketamine

It's quite the leap going from brain rhythms mentioned in the research to anecdotal talk of audio drum rhythms isn't it? There's no mention of audio in that article. Brain rhythms in this context simply mean patterns of neural activity. this activity happens all the time, even in people who are profoundly deaf.

Indeed, the induced rhythms in the article are stimulated by shining light on the brain of mice to induce certain cells to fire, and electrical impulses on a human subject.

Nothing at all to do with music or the auditory system.

It does make me wonder if a binocular affect similar to a binaural affect would induce would do it. The ocular pathways are significant...

I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far to see this. The threads listed above this are all about music and sound, which don't have anything to do with the article.

Yes. Why is everyone here talking about music? This has nothing to do with that.
