What Are Binaural Beats?
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.
