Headphones while playing in live BG tournaments - slightly more concerning

I've recently been reading about Binaural Beats, and have found that there are some significant potential uses - provided you are able to train yourself to them.
I think that if I knew my opponent was using these, then I would most certainly refuse to allow the use of headphones.
The theory behind these also suggests that regular music could be providing a combination of alpha/beta/theta/gamma/delta waves. I think in the backgammon sense, the Gamma is the key here. Do I now consider headphone use to be unreasonable? Much more so.
Of course, I wouldn't ever accuse anyone of doing this unless I had absolute proof, however, it does raise the question to a different level.
