Looking for an Android app that will create binaural beats in audio streamed to the device by other apps - audiobooks via Audible, audio via YT etc. (Search engines return a morass of binaural beat app but nothing that works on the fly. I know I can download the streams then use Audicity or similar to change the frequency in one of the channels. I do not want to do this. 😉 ) #AndroidApps #BinauralBeats #Audiobooks #AgedCare #MemoryTherapy #Dementia #Alzheimers #LifeAsAnExperiment

By forcing surviving, under-utilized neural clusters to communicate in entirely new ways, the drug may make buried abilities accessible for a limited time." https://neurosciencenews.com/psilocybin-memory-alzheimers-30084/ #alzheimers #magicmushrooms #psilocybin #MedicalTreatment
