What Can Binaural Beats Do?

Ever since binaural beats have been discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839, people have been taking more and more interest in the phenomenon.

But a lot of people have been, and are still being skeptical as to what extent sounds and frequencies can really alter the way our body functions. Some still see binaural beats as quackery and new age mumbo jumbo and dismiss binaural beats as legitimate therapy tools.

But I would like to demonstrate to you some of the possible uses for binaural beats and help you realize that the science behind binaural beats is real and factual and stands on genuine scientific principles.

But before I do, let me explain to you in details how binaural beats work. If one ear is presented with a sound frequency of 400 Hz and the other ear receives a tone of 410 Hz, these two tones combine in the brain. The gap of 10 Hz left between the two sound waves will be perceived by the brain as a binaural beat.

Each sound wave will be processed by the left and right hemisphere of the brain and will be synchronized to balance each other out. So instead of hearing two separate sounds of 400 Hz and 410 Hz respectively, the brain will play out the sound as a single rhythmic 10 Hz sound, or “beat”. This phenomenon is called entrainment and is the basic working principle of binaural beats.

This technique can be used to generate specific mental states. These states can be divided into 4 different categories: beta, alpha, theta and delta.

Beta Brain Waves

The beta state is reached when the brain waves frequencies are in the 14 Hz to 40 Hz range. The beta state is associated with normal waking consciousness. Low amplitude beta waves with multiple and varying frequencies are often associated with active, busy, or anxious thinking and active concentration.

Alpha Brain Waves

The alpha state is reached when the brain waves are in the 8 Hz to 14 Hz range. The alpha state is characterized by a deeply relaxed or dreaming state. The best example of an alpha state is the state you are in when you are laying down to take a break from an intellectually demanding task. The meditative state that you are in when you are reflecting about the rest of your day would be the alpha state.

Theta Brain Waves

The third state is the theta state. The theta state is characterized by a feeling of general drowsiness and is associated with early sleep. When you’re in a theta state, your brainwaves are oscillating in the 4 Hz to 8 Hz range. The theta state is the best state for meditation and deep reflexion. The theta state is also the state you are usually in when you are performing automatic tasks such as brushing your teeth or driving on the freeway.

Delta Brain Waves

The fourth and final state is the delta state. This is the state you are in when you are in a deep slumber. In this state, your brainwaves are in the 0.5 Hz to 4 Hz range. This state can be also reached through deep meditation.

Binaural beats can be used to reach any of these mental states. Some binaural beats are designed especially for people who would like to improve their meditation sessions, some are made specifically to improve focus and some can be used to get better sleep.

So binaural beats are really a way to tune your mind into any desirable state, which is pretty amazing. So I wish I could help dispel some of the myths surrounding binaural beats and that you will now be able to benefit from their countless virtues.

How Do Binaural Beats Work?

Binaural beats were discovered by a Prussian physicist and meteorologist named Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839. He discovered that when two different sounds of similar frequencies were sent to both ears, a phenomenon called entrainment occurred.

Entrainment happens when the brain automatically adjusts itself to the two different frequencies perceived and weeds out the difference between the two frequencies to create a new frequency or “beat”.

Let’s say you play two different sounds, one of 300Hz and one of 310Hz, to each ear. Each sound will be processed by both the left and right hemisphere of the brain. The brain will then weed out the difference between the 2 sounds (10 Hz) and perceive it as a binaural beat. The brain will then perceive a new sound that will be the average of the two sounds. In this case, the new sound will be at around 305 Hz.

Every since Heinrich Wilhelm Dove made this ground-breaking discovery, many people decided to pay closer attention to the effects of binaural beats and began to observe the many effects binaural beats can have on the physical body.

A man by the name of Gerald Oster released an article in the 1973 edition of American Scientific Magazine that set the whole scientific world on its ear. In his article, Gerald Oster demonstrated the different possibilities of binaural beats and truly introduced them as serious therapeutic tools.

Every since Gerald Oster released his article, more and more therapist began to study the actual benefits of binaural beats so that they can apply them to their patients.

The most outstanding feature of binaural beats is that they are really able to substantially change someone’s mood and state of mind. Some binaural beat recordings are specifically made for people who would like to get rid of the effects of depression on their everyday life. In some cases, binaural beats have been proven to be even more effective then traditional medication on severe depression cases.

Another great thing about binaural beats is that they can be used to induce a deep state of trance on the listener. This a great tool for people who practice meditation on an everyday basis. Binaural beats can help the listener reach meditative peaks that he would otherwise not be able to attain trough traditional meditation methods. Meditation is one of the most common reasons why people use binaural beats.

Binaural beats have also been used to help people focus better and were even used on some cancer patients to help them relax and improve the effects of the treatments they were receiving. Binaural beats can also be used for self-hypnosis and to alter some bad behavioral patterns.

There are new uses to binaural beats that are being discovered everyday and more and more people are developing binaural beat recordings to achieve specific results. The possibilities of binaural beats are limitless and are very promising for the future of physical and emotional therapy. Don’t be surprised if you hear more and more about binaural beats in the future…

Binaural beats were discovered in 1839 by a physicist by the name of Heinrich Wilhelm Dove.

Heinrich Wilhelm Dove was born on October 6 1803 in Liegnitz, Prussia. He attended the University of Breslau for 3 years where he studied history, philosophy and natural sciences.

He then pursued further education at the University of Berlin from 1824 to 1826, and in 1838, Dove became an associate professor at the University of Königsberg. One year later, he assumed an associate professor position at the world renowned University of Berlin.

Heinrich Wilhelm Dove’s influence on the scientific world was such that there is a crater on the moon, the Dove crater, named after him. He was also presented with the Copley Medal in 1853 because of his many achievements.

During his career, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove wrote over 300 different papers on various subjects ranging from meteorology to experimental physics.

In 1839, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered that when two different sounds of two different, but very close, frequencies were sent to each of his subject’s ears, the two frequencies created interference in the subject’s brain and merged to produce a whole other frequency, or “beat”. And this is how binaural beats were born.

Dove discovered that when two sounds of similar frequencies to those of the brain waves were sent to each ear, the brain would automatically adjust its own brain waves to match those frequencies. This phenomenon is called entrainment and is the main working principle of binaural beats.

But, it wasn’t until an American biophysicist by the name of Gerald Oster published a paper on the subject of binaural beats in the 1973 edition of Scientific American magazine called “Auditory Beats in the Brain” that binaural beats were introduced to the mainstream.

Since then, thousands and thousands of different studies were conducted on the wondrous effects of binaural beats. Binaural beats were even referred to as the first “digital pills” because of their amazing therapeutic properties.

Binaural beats can be used to produce certain states of consciousness. Binaural beats can be used to stimulate creativity or to induce a deep state of meditation. You can modify the binaural beat’s frequency multiple times during a session to give the best experience possible to the listener. Binaural beats can also alter the mood of the subject, making binaural beats a potentially powerful cure against depression.

There are binaural beat recordings that are specifically designed to help you focus better. Some are made to induce a state of happiness and tranquility and some can even be used to cure headaches and high blood pressure. Binaural beats are truly revolutionary therapy tools and there is no telling how far this technology can go.

You can find a large variety of binaural beat CDs or even instant download mp3’s on the internet and you will absolutely need good headphones to make the best of them. Binaural beats are totally safe and you won’t get addicted to them; so you don’t need to worry about undesirable side effects.

All in all, binaural beats are truly an amazing discovery that will probably change the way we look at traditional therapy forever; and their therapeutic properties will probably never cease to amaze us.

Binaural beats are artificial sounds that occur in the brain as a result of when the brain processes a distinct sound from each ear and mixes the two sounds together. A binaural beat is a pulse or beat detected between these two sounds. Binaural beats can be used to achieve different states of consciousness and thereby gain energy, better health, creativity, and a variety of other functions.

For most individuals, binaural beats are perfectly safe to use. After all, binaural beats are not addictive or abusive. In fact, as time passes you have trained your brain to make a response and you use the product less often. Different binaural beats can be used to enter into different states of consciousness or brainwaves. All five states of consciousness can be visited in this way. Brainwaves are naturally occurring in the brain and play a part in all functions. Thousands of individuals safely use binaural beats to influence brainwaves every day. However, there is a small percentage of the population who should avoid binaural beats or consult a qualified medical professional.

Before using binaural beats, make sure you pass this test.

1. Seizure sufferers: The brain is full of electrical impulses; these impulses allow the brain and body to communicate. People with seizures experience abnormal impulses and seizures are the outcome. Seizures can be identified through the physical responses that occur. Symptoms can include twitching, full body jerking, and even unconsciousness. Binaural beats can trigger epileptic seizures or other types of seizures due to the repeated pulsing of sound, and its effect on brainwaves.

2. Children: Children are at a higher risk of seizures than adults. Before using a binaural beat audio, children should be under the supervision of a doctor. Stimuli have been shown to trigger seizures in children who have never had a seizure before. Though TV shows and video games make up the majority of these occasions, binaural beats could also trigger a seizure.

3. When engaged in certain activities: Stimulating brainwaves can cause feelings of relaxation and can put you to sleep. Binaural beat audios should never be listened to while driving, or engaged in other processes that require your complete attention to avoid serious injury or death! These would include cooking, starting a camp fire, and moving or operating heavy equipment.

4. Health Ailments: Yes, binaural beats have been used to successfully treat those suffering from serious psychological ailments and other abnormalities, but only with the use of highly trained experts in their field. Abnormalities include taking stimulants, tranquilizers, illegal drugs, and psychoactive drugs. Those with heart problems or who wear a pacemaker should also consult with a doctor since changes in brainwaves also cause changes in heart rhythms and produce a negative effect.

If you don’t fall into any of the above categories, then there is no reason why binaural beats can’t be used safely and effectively to help you reach your full potential. Simply choose the audio of your choice, listen, and watch what changes occur!

I have been asked this excellent question a lot during the last week.

Will encoding or compressing the binaural beats into mp3 affect the binaural beats?

And since it is such a highly technical question I decided to ask my sound engineer and then ‘dumb down’ the answer into a language we can all understand .

After extensive talks and testing with my sound engineer we have discovered that mp3 compression can affect the binaural beats.

IF the creator uses too much compression or does not encode the channels independently it will affect the audio.

But after significant research we know that we can compress the mp3 while encoding the channels separately and still have the binaural beat affect but this only possible due to having the best professional software which allows this.

“Nevertheless, never re-encode the mp3 files, just in order to preserve max quality.”

I hope that helps,

Sincerely,

Just over a month ago now if you were to ask me “Paul, what are binaural beats?” I wouldn’t have a clue, but for the last month I have been absolutely obsessed with these amazingly powerful audio’s.

Now you if you were to ask the scientists at http://www.web-us.com/thescience.htm you would get this exact answer.

“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, 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.”

Now I don’t know about you but that doesn’t make much sense to me, I can’t speak “scienese” so I especially asked my sound engineer what is happening when you listen to binaural beats mp3s.

Here is how he explained it.

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.

These two frequencies when mixed together, results in a different frequency, which aligns your brain waves into a different way of thinking.

Here is a picture to explain a little better.

Now what does that mean for you?

Simply this… when you listen to specific binaural beats you can influence your brain waves to think or react in a specific way.

So… Instead of feeling tired all the time, you can change your brain waves so that you can immediately feel more alert. I’m talking about an espresso coffee jolt without the harmful side effects.

Or

If you want to spend a long time in concentrated effort, such as writing a book but your mind is constantly distracted, then you can instantly bring your brain waves to a different frequency, and you will think a lot clearer and more focused.

Or

If all you want to do is relax, but you can’t stop your brain from thinking. All you have to do is change the frequency of your brain waves from Beta to Alpha, or in other words slow them down.

Binaural beats are extremely exciting because they can be used to help you in almost every area of your life. Your brain runs on brainwaves and those brainwaves can be directly influence by binaural beats, therefore anything going on in your head can be improved with the use of binaural beats.

Here’s an example of what binaural beats can do…

Increase Motivation

This is one of the main reasons why I love using binaural beat mp3’s because if at anytime I don’t feel like doing something, I just put on the ‘Maximum Motivation’ audio and BANG within 5 minutes I am ‘in the zone’.

These powerful audios specifically align your brainwaves in a productive frequency and that is powerful.

Increase Focus

I use this specific audio frequency every day, it helps me to write better, it helps me to focus so I get more stuff done in less time. Never leave home without this one.

Relaxation

This is one of the most common uses of binaural audios, it is specifically used to slow down the brainwaves and take them to a more relaxing frequency, ie Alpha, Theta and even Delta.

Quick tip… if you are using these audios without white noise… turn the audio volume right down. This will help you to focus less on the audio and more on your breathing.

Meditation

If you want to get better and more focused meditation… then binaural beats can be used to lower your brainwave frequency down to ‘altered state’ levels. Binaural beat audios are becoming more and more popular to achieve these ’states’.

And that’s just the start.
