Timothy Leary and Weird Science

I typed in mind machines and was surprised to find that these Light/Sound strobe thingies that Timothy Leary was pushing as the be-all/end-all of human advancement and enlightenment are still around 10 years later. While the public "Mind Gym trend" faded out (like Oxygen bars soon will, I bet), the home theatre of took off. I can't believe that listening to binaural beats while staring at lights from behind your eyelids fine-tunes your brainwaves, but who knows? I'm surprised meditation works. Has anyone ever tried one of these headphone/LED glasses dealies? I'm so curious. I can't believe the descriptions of "instant electronic enlightenment" (in 20 minutes, experience what takes tibetan monks 20 years of meditation) and "nonadictive prozac".

Not sure how I screwed that up, but "the home theater of scientific meditation took off" is how it was supposed to read. And if I screwed the link up, here it is again

Wasn't it Kelly le Brock in Weird Science - not Timothy Leary? I would imagine if the kids had conjure Leary up they would have been sore disappointed.

Curious people with too much extra money may order a mind machine here and let me know what you think.
