Digital drugs and regulation
Anders Sandberg writes in Practical Ethics.
In the article Silicon dreams: digital drugs and regulation Sandberg examines digital drugs. The origin of the idea is research into binaural beats, sending sounds with slightly different frequencies into the ears which then combine into slow "beats" that reputedly affect the brainwaves. While evidence are lacking for idosers to work, it is not a priori possible to rule out that something like this could work. Music certainly affects our mood. Computer games appear to affect cognition and computer training of working memory may be able to improve fluid intelligence.
