In summary, the conversation discusses the potential effectiveness of Baby Einstein tapes on adults and whether there is a market for them. It is mentioned that there is no proof that they work on babies, and the idea of them being effective on adults is also questioned. The conversation also mentions the origins of the Baby Einstein concept and how it stemmed from a study on university students. Finally, it is mentioned that the tapes may provide some form of relaxation and learning enhancement, but it is uncertain if they actually work.

There's isn't proof it even works on babies, let alone adults.

If there's a market for Power Crystals there's a market for Baby Einstein tapes. Will they work? Of course not! They don't work on babies it was always just a scam. The whole baby einstein thing started from a SINGLE study on UNI STUDENTS that found that if a student listened to soothing classical music before an exam vs. heavy metal they performed better. That's where it all comes from.

I bought the Baby Einstein dvds after a friend suggested it. If they work or not? I can't say this for sure. But they provide visual and auditory stimuli which can relax and enhance learning, so I guess there's no harm done.
