What Are Binaural Beats?
Stimulate
Neurons
and create
states of
awareness
–The 5
Basic
Brain
Waves
Delta – 0.1-4Hz (Deep Sleep, NightTerrors,
SleepWalking, Subconscious Access)
Theta – 4 to 8 Hz (Drifting to Sleep, Inner
Guidance, Deep Hypnosis, Sleep)
Alpha – 8-16Hz (Creativity, REM Sleep, Mild
Hypnosis, Guided Meditation)
Beta – 16-31 Hz (NormalWaking
Consciousness, Concentration, Alertness)
Gamma – 32-100Hz (Focus, Awareness,
Learning, Deep Meditation)
What DoThey Do?

–The 3
Special
Brain
Waves
Mu – 8-12 Hz (Standing Still, Shutting Down
the Senses)
Sigma – 12-14 Hz (Tranquility, Staying
Asleep despite noises)
SMR – 12.5 -15.5 Hz (Sensory Motor Rhythm
– Immobility, Calming)
Many states are a combination of several
different waves at once.
These “stacked frequencies” are more
common than single tones.

How Can Binaural Beats Be Used?
12Hz, 9.5Hz, 8Hz, 5.5Hz, 4Hz, and 3.5Hz
Stacked Frequencies
• Activates theVisualization neurons
• Provides InnerGuidance
• Antidepressant
• Opens a bridge between the conscious and subconscious
• A good preparation for subsequent frequencies
1.05 Hz or 7.83Hz
PureTones
• 1.05 Hz -This is generally agreed to be the frequency that produces Human Growth Hormone
• 7.83 Hz – Keeps the listener awake, “repairs their DNA”, enhances the visualization process
• 7.83 is the first of several “Schumann Resonances”
7.83Hz, 14.3 Hz, 20.8 Hz, 27.3 Hz and 33.8 Hz
The Schumann
Resonances
• Resonant Frequencies of the Earth’s atmosphere
• Associated with the generation of Lightning and Electromagnetic Radiation
• Every planet and moon has its own unique Schumann Resonance based on its size
• Binaural enthusiasts believe it has powerful healing properties, since it comes from Mother Earth
• Extra-Low Frequency (ELF) – below the range of consciously perceived sound
A Few Beats and
Their Purported Functions
Entrainment - a shared tendency of many physical and biological systems to
synchronize their periodicity and rhythm through interaction.
EXAMPLES OF ENTRAINMENT
Physical Entrainment – Two pendulum clocks or electric dryers placed in
close proximity will sync up.
Speech Entrainment – Two subjects talking at a different pace will adjust to
match a third, common pace.
Internal (Endogenous) Entrainment – circadian sleep cycles matching the
patterns of day and night or a pacemaker setting the heart’s rhythm
Brainwave Entrainment – Also known as ‘auditory driving’ – the hypothesis
that a sound frequency can cause brainwaves to drive neural electric activity
to match the frequency. This is the principle behind binaural beats.
EntrainYour Brain
Binaural beats are perceived, not heard.
They are the split difference between one audible wavelength in the left ear
and a second wavelength in the right ear.
Following the hypothesis of entrainment, binaural beats are intended to
stimulate the brain to produce matching low frequency waves.
The logic is pretty sound, so it seems possible that the illusory perception of
a third sound could entrain the brainwaves to sync up to that frequency.
We cannot hear but we can “generate” the tone ourselves.
We Can’t HearThat Small
Many frequencies of brainwaves are studied at sleep centers and other brain
research facilities, so they do correlate with various known activities,
particularly sleep, epilepsy, autism, meditation, and physical movement.
The frequencies are not currently correlated to many states and conditions
that binaural recordings promise.
Some of the far-fetched promises include:
• Increased testosterone or estrogen production
• Rapid muscle growth
• Genital enlargement
• Breast Enlargement
• Pheromones to attract wealthy men
• Third eye pineal gland activation
Snake Oil and Salves
For the far-fetched claims, the placebo effect may rule the day, but some
recordings can deliver on their promise.
According to my own research, Binaural Beats seem able to:
• Put the listener into a trance
• Put the listener to sleep
• Make the listener feel stoned or high
• Calm nerves
• Provide distraction from pain
• Keep the listener motivated during a workout
• Increase focus, arousal or other states of awareness
• Boost levels of “feel-good” hormones, though not with any accuracy
