Binaural Beats
When you hear two tones, one in each ear, that are slightly different in frequency, your brain processes a beat at the difference of the frequencies. This is called a binaural beat.
Binaural beats are considered auditory illusions.
2 tones both < 1000 Hz, and no further apart than 30 Hz
One Tone for Each Ear
Right Ear 432hz - Left Ear 424hz = In addition to the two input tones, the brain now hears a non-existent third tone at 8hz (the difference between the 2 input tones)
Studies suggest that binaural beats can be effective helping:
Reduce Anxiety
Increase Focus and Concentration
Lower Stress
Increase Relaxation
Promote Creativity
Pain Management
Positive Moods
Headphones are required to attain the separation needed to create the binaural effect.
