I am not bipolar as far as I know. I had to try this though. Come to think of it I remember hearing about this somewhere sometime in the distant past.
I am left handed so I decided to put the ice water in my right ear. I used a baster which allowed me to controll the water flow nicely. Wow! This turned out to be rather psychoactive. It messed with my balance. I staggered around as if slightly drunk for quite awhile. It awakened the whole right side of my body...sort of made it tingle. Mood wise not much difference. I just felt rather strange.
I would put this as more psychoactive than Hemi-sync, strobe flash stimulation, dervish whirling, Biocircuits, and EEG biofeedback. HOwever is it useful to me? I don't know. I am curious about habituation. I suppose the the brain will get used to it after awhile and and start saying yeah yeah here comes the ice water again time to adjust the activity.
