Binaural Beats VS Isochronic Tones VS Monaural Beats

 

The Three Types of Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment is becoming one of the fastest growing tools for improving lives and allowing people to reach altered states almost instantly. There are three main methods currently used for brainwave entrainment: Binaural Betas, Monaural Beats and Isochronic Tones.

Binaural Beats

Binaural beats are the oldest and most well known of brainwave entrainment technology.  They work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 10 Hz frequency, you could play 300 Hz in your right ear and 310 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 10 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage.

Isochronic Tones

 Isochronic tones are the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment, utilizing equal intensity tones, increasing the pulse speed, and synchronizing your brain with the rhythm. Isochronics use a distinct and clean wave form which is designed to harmonize with the brain much more efficiently.

Monaural beats

 Monaural beats are a little less common but equally if not more effective. They use two tones of equal intensity which is much easier on our brains. This single tone will pulse on and off in specific patterns depending on which frequency we wish to experience.

A comparison of different types of brainwave

Type	How they Work	Brain Reaction	Result	Need Headphones?
Binaural Beats	2 separate frequencies are broadcast in each ear	Brain creates a third tone that compensates for the difference between the two	Brain frequency is raised or lowered	Yes, definitely recommended
Monaural Beats	One tone pulsing on and off in a specific pattern	No need to balance tones so faster reacting time	Easier on the brain so easier to produce the desired effects of raising or lowering the frequency	Optional, but recommended
Isochronic  tones	Uses equal intensity tones, increasing the pulse speed	Distinct and clean wave form synchronizing your brain with the rhythm	Harmonizes with the brain much more efficiently, very successful in raising or lowering the frequency	Optional, but recommended

Whichever method you choose, it’s important to use only high quality recordings. Check out The Unexplainable Store for high quality brainwave recordings.
