I remember that temporal lobe damage is tied to extreme religiosity and that trans-cranial magnetic stimulation experiments suggest activity in the temporal lobe can result in perception of spooky presences. Has there been much work done that explores how sound and auditory processing is tied to beliefs in the supernatural?

Because dreams have always had a spot in spiritual belief systems, and it seems like this research fits right into that line of thought.

Why do I ask? I saved a binaural beats track out of curiosity and listened to it before bed. Nightmares. Did some ABA testing on myself, and I'm convinced that the track causes nightmares for me. ABA on the wife. Vivid, wild dreams. I've been curious about how sound messes with heads ever since.

Not named, from an outdated app from around 2013 that was taken off the play store, probably because it wasn't maintained. I still have it, but I don't know how to get it off my phone because it's like embedded(?) in the app. I haven't listened to it in years.

I've had less consistent results with other binaural audio tracks found on spotify and youtube, though, if you want to try those out.
