There are three main methods currently used for brainwave entrainment; Binaural Betas, Monaural Beats and Isochronic Tones. We will focus on introducing Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones.
What are Binaural beats?
Binaural Beats are not a passing fad, but have been researched for over 170 years. Binaural beats have become the most widely known and used form of aural brainwave entrainment. They are very effective in helping you to achieve altered states of consciousness but not as effective as monaural beats or Isochronic tones. The Binaural beats will come in either an MP3 download or on a CD and are to be listened to while sitting quietly with a pair of headphones.
How Binaural Beats work?
Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage. Headphones are mandatory with Binaural beats. Notice the narrow sound wave and its lack of uniform. Certainly a good technology, but it has room for improvement.
Here are the features of Binaural Beats:
a) 2 separate frequencies are broadcast in each ear
b) Brain creates a third tone that compensates for the difference between the two
c) Stereo headphone/ear buds required!
d) Recommended
Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves and have been claimed to reduce anxiety and to provide other health benefits such as control over pain.
Binaural beat stimulation has been used fairly extensively in attempts to induce a variety of states of consciousness, and there has been some work done in regards to the effects of these stimuli on relaxation, focus, attention, and states of consciousness. Studies have shown that with repeated training to distinguish close frequency sounds that a plastic reorganization of the brain occurs for the trained frequencies and is capable of asymmetric hemispheric balancing.
