Poker Playlist
 

At least a few online and live players now use Ipod's and the like to listen to music.
This thread is for your playlist suggestions.
Your welcome to provide Psych explanations as to why the list works

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I listen to an oscillating tone, that oscillates at 35Hz.

Your brainwaves then quickly sync to the tone. 35 hz is considered something called a beta state. When your brain is in a beta state you are able to concentrate with laser focus.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

is this some new-age mumbo jumbo, or is this some science I've never heard about, interested. More resources?

Re: Poker Playlist
 

science you've never heard about. discovered in 1839

Re: Poker Playlist
 

can you post a link to a MP3 or something with that frequency..... I hear Alkohol + 35kHz is the NUTZZZ

Re: Poker Playlist
 

oh yeah 35Hz not kHz [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I will PM you a link, or anyone else that wants it. I don't want to just post a link because people with epilipsy or a history of seizures can experience seizures while listening.

Re: Poker Playlist

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Thank you for pming me the link. I can't listen to it as the sound is very irritating to me. I don't know how you can listen to that while you play. Perhaps it is just me.

Re: Poker Playlist

Hi Erik,

I am a sport psych (both educational and clinical) and I have used different frequencies with many clients (some of them poker pros). Most have found it useful.

One of the books that a lot of people seem to gravitate too is 'Super learning'. Though it is sensationalized it does have some interesting possibilities for those who are creative.

I am also doing some work using EEG read out to figure out what parts of the brain are stimulated via different types of frequencies. There is a theory that different personality types react differently (so the result is not homogeneous).

Another place for people to look for information on music and performance is anything by Dr. Costas Karageorghis (Brunel University). You can googlescholar him and find a lot of stuff on music and performance. He has written a lot of popular articles (non scientific speak) that explains what goes on.

Just out of interest are you involved in music therapy or anything to do with it? I am always looking for interested collaborators or people to get involved in applied research.

Sincerely

Hi Dr. Gonosz,

I appreciate you posting these references. I will bookmark and check them out. My interest is as such. I have recently received certification as a hypnotherapist and I have worked with some children diagnosed ADHD (with great success). I discovered in process that using a 35Hz tone will get people in the "right place" to enter a hypnotic state. So I tried using the tone for myself to pay attention and it works for me like a drug. I put on the headphones and moments later I am hyper focused. I would like to study this area more, but simply have not plugged it in as a priority. Though I can see that it could really help with my work.

Thanks
Erik

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I would also love a pm with this link

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Thanks for the link Erik. How loud are you supposed to play this?

Re: Poker Playlist
 

would playing it with other music work?

Re: Poker Playlist
 

just post the link in the thread, and warn people right before it...

or, pm me the link! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Poker Playlist
 

could you pm the link to me as well. To a person with ADHD, poker has been great. All the constant changing situations along with some strong stimulants have made some of the best playing experiences. The idea of "background" noise helping focus even more, may make the need for other pharmacology un-necessary

Re: Poker Playlist
 

play it at a comfortable level. I listen pretty low.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I'm not sure really, I put it over some soft relaxing music and it works, putting it over death metal or something like that might not create the desired result. Try it and tell me what happens.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Where are you located and how old are you? I am working with people who have ADHD (or have at least been diagnosed) to eliminate the symptoms without medication. I am looking for people to work with.

Uh, no sorry.

Beta is roughly 15 to 40 hertz, and it is the state of waking activity.

Alpha, 8 to 15 hertz, is a state more associated with creativity and being "in the zone" - a relaxed but focused state of high creative thought.



Secondly, just listening to a specific tone won't sync your brain to that tone. If you want to hemisync your brain, you need to listen to two divergent tones in each ear, wherein the brain will sync to m frequency separation.


For instance, if you listen to a 150 hz tone in the left ear, and a 165 hz tone in the right ear (a difference of 15 hertz) then your brain with "sync" to 15 hertz.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Very interesting topic - as I have also difficulties in keeping focused.

I would also love a pm with this link

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Alpha is more of a relaxed state. Beta is a focused concentration state.

The tone that I created must be used with headphones, 540hz in the left and 575hz in the right. You are correct about that part.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I'd love to have that link too, sounds very interesting!

Re: Poker Playlist
 

I coffeehouse quite a bit, so listening to anything would get in the way of one of my biggest sources of information.

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Linky?

Re: Poker Playlist
 

Could you please pm me the link, or just post it with a disclaimer?

SOunds like a lot of mumbo jumbo, but i am open minded enough to give it a go!
