Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's pleasure centers. Dopamine is normally connected to getting high off drugs; however, dopamine also occurs naturally when you do something your brain considers rewarding or extremely pleasurable, like exercise. But, most products that assist in releasing the dopamine transmitter in your brain unnaturally (smoking weed, snorting cocaine, or consuming ungodly amounts of sugar) are considered illegal or just socially frowned upon.

Innovaive tech company Nervana have now found a creative loophole so music lovers can have dopamine released anywhere by listening to their headphones. In short, you can get "naturally" high based on your music. Although, the company likes to note that their headphones makes you feel relaxed or calm, not high.

Here's how it works:

Nervana's headphones aren't wired with dopamine crystals. The headphones are paired with the Nervana Generator. The generator analyzes the music's signal and synchronizes the amount of nerve stimulation released with the music signal. That's just in private use.

On the generator, there is also an Ambient Mode where the generator analyzes the sound of the outside environment and matches the nerve stimulation with the environment. So, go ahead and replace your earplugs with these headphones at your next concert or music festival adventure. It'll work totally well, right?!

How is this technology legal?

The headphones and generator are being marketed as a lifestyle and wellness device; therefore, it doesn't need to FDA approved. Basically, Nervana is stating that their headphones and generator are like a Fitbit. Apparently the claim has fooled everyone else since pre-order for the $299 technology will be available in March and shipment is scheduled for late spring.
