Another "netnick" with whom I am acquainted has been doing some research
with brain "entrainment" on his PC. That is where you listen to two
different tones, one in each ear, the result being a third tone
generated by your brain. This has had, in his research, the effect
of inducing various mental effects/states of conciousness. When I asked
him if he had done any work with this with different disabilities
or chronic pain conditions, he reply was negative.

The apparatus required is quite simple - basically a sound card for
the PC in use. If anyone is interested, a summary of his
experiments thus far is available.
