What Are Binaural Beats?
Binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses which originate in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere.
They result from the interaction of two different auditory impulses, originating in opposite ears, below 1000 Hz and which differ in frequency between one and 30 Hz (Oster, 1973).
For example, if a pure tone of 400 Hz is presented to the right ear and a pure tone of 410 Hz is presented simultaneously to the left ear, an amplitude modulated standing wave of 10 Hz (alpha), the difference between the two tones, is experienced as the two wave forms mesh in and out of phase within the superior olivary nuclei.
This binaural beat is not heard in the ordinary sense of the word (the human range of hearing is from 20-20,000 Hz).
It is perceived as an auditory beat and theoretically can be used to entrain specific neural rhythms through the frequency-following response (FFR)--the tendency for cortical potentials to entrain to or resonate at the frequency of an external stimulus.
Thus, it is theoretically possible to utilize a specific binaural-beat frequency as a consciousness management technique to entrain a specific cortical rhythm. reference:http://web-us.com/thescience.htm#What Is A Binaural Beat
To simplify this, binaural beats are specially generated sounds that are created in order to alter your brainwaves (remember to listen binaural beats with headphones) . By altering your brainwave frequencies you are able to influence your mind into experiencing altered states of consciousness. Which altered mind state you achieve will depend on the exact frequency of the binaural beats.
Brain waves
| Frequency range | Name | Usually associated with: |
|---|---|---|
| > 40 Hz | Gamma waves | Higher mental activity, including perception, problem solving, fear, and consciousness |
| 13–39 Hz | Beta waves | Active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration, arousal, cognition, and or paranoia |
| 7–13 Hz | Alpha waves | Relaxation (while awake), pre-sleep and pre-wake drowsiness, REM sleep, Dreams |
| 4–7 Hz | Theta waves | deep meditation/relaxation, NREM sleep |
| < 4 Hz | Delta waves | Deep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness |

- and much more…
**Please note however that they should not be used by anyone who suffers from
epilepsy.

i've been listening to these binaural beats for the last couple years. did me good, i mean real good. set your mind straight. but there're some annoying side effect to my sleep. i experience more sleep paralysis. I thnik it's caused by the Gamma waves.
ReplyDeleteI was not known about this earlier. Glad to find the post. In fact you have some good work done on your posts. I really like them.
