Gee, I wonder how many potential liabilities someone inside the US promoting a "Digital Drug" which fucks with peoples brainwaves would face?

I'll start: If you call it a drug, lube up and bend over, because the FDA is going to be probing your large intestine in the near future.

For anyone who is interested, you can produce the same effect as this device by staring at a blank, whitewashed wall. Its called the Ganzfeld, or homogenized field, effect and is very well documented. When you present your mind with a bunch of sensory data that contains no specific sensory information it causes your brain to produce Alpha waves, which in turn produce the sort of effects this person claims his box causes. All you need to do is look at a blank white wall or sheet that completely fills your field of vision for long enough.

This is why the walls of the Buddha Hall's in Zen monestaries are painted blank white, and the meditators sit facing them.
