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.

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
