Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain for specific physical stimuli. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and earned greater public awareness in the late 20th century based on claims that binaural beats could help induce relaxation, meditation, creativity and other desirable mental states. The effect on the brainwaves depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone: for example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz.

The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject’s ears, using stereo headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of the brain. The frequencies of the tones must be below 1,000 hertz for the beating to be noticeable. The difference between the two frequencies must be small (less than or equal to 30 Hz) for the effect to occur; otherwise, the two tones will be heard separately and no beat will be perceived. Binaural beats are of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing.

    I am really pleased to read this website posts which carries tons of useful data, thanks for providing these statistics.

      This concept makes me relefct on two different sets of imagery that I came across today (it’s been one of those days).Earlier today I stumbled upon a phrase suggesting prayer might be thought of as meditation’s more assertive cousin . As someone who comes from a Christian faith-base, but has expanded the paramaters of how I measure my spirituality, this resonated with me.Then tonight, I participated in a discussion that began with the suggestion that we compare God and the way he works in this universe with a beautiful song. The suggestion was that if we wish to appreciate (and contribute to) this song, we need to first make sure that we are in the same key as both God and the people (and opportunities) around us.And now this evening, just as I’m about to drift off to sleep, I come across this, which feels like another voice, or a coda to the thoughts that have been rolling around in my head all day (as well as a practical, new exercise to work with).So thank you, and excuse my ramblings that don’t really answer the question you were asking.

    Good post on binaural beats. I’ve had rlmkraabey wonderful experiences while listening to various styles of binaurals. I find I am hugely impacted by binaurals that help with mentally focusing and retaining information. But bear in mind, I suggest you be cautious on some of these commerical sites. They put together some wild claims. Binaural beats are not magic. They deliver the results, however you you must absolutely listen every day of the week to truly ascertain any results.
