The third sound is called a binaural beat, and in this example would have a perceived pitch correlating to a frequency of 10 Hz, that being the difference between the 530 Hz and 520 Hz pure tones presented to each ear.įollowing the technique of measuring such brainwaves by Berger, there has remained a ubiquitous consensus that electroencephalogram (EEG) readings depict brainwave wave form patterns that alter over time, and correlate with the aspects of the subject's mental and emotional state, mental status, and degree of consciousness and vigilance. For example, if a 530 Hz pure tone is presented to a subject's right ear, while a 520 Hz pure tone is presented to the subject's left ear, the listener will perceive the auditory illusion of a third tone, in addition to the two pure-tones presented to each ear. "A binaural beat is an auditory illusion perceived when two different pure-tone sine waves, both with frequencies lower than 1500 Hz, with less than a 40 Hz difference between them, are presented to a listener dichotically, that is one through each ear. This page uses binaural beats as auditory stimuli." This can be used, for example, to induce sleep. They provide an indication of the mental state of an individual.īrainwaves are divided into four main categories: the Delta waves, when deep sleep occurs the Theta waves, associated with a state of somnolence and reduced consciousness the Alpha waves, when we are in a state of physical and mental relaxation and the Beta waves, emitted when we are consciously alert, or when we feel agitated or tense.īrainwave frequencies are in the range of 0.1 to 4 (Delta), 4 to 7 (Theta), 7 to 13 (Alpha) and 13 to 30 (Beta) cycles per second (Hz).īrainwave entrainment (or synchronization), aims to cause our brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state. Brainwaves can be detected using sensitive medical equipment such as an EEG. "Brainwaves are electrical activity patterns caused by the neurons of the brain communicating with each other. You can create your own with this website or you can find pre-made ones by others on youtube. They work for me, and I have recommended this to many people. If you need to be calm, focused, be in a super learning mode, or sleep and dream, try binaural beats.
