Binaural Beats FAQ:

How do Binaural Beats work?
Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage.

How do Monaural Beats Work?
Monaural Beats differ from Binaural Beats as they are easier on your brain.  With Monaural Beats there is no need to balance tones, and therefore no adjusting time required.  With one tone pulsing on and off a specific pattern, it's easy to produce the effect you're looking for quickly.

How do Isochronic Tones Work?
Isochronic tones are the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment, utilizing equal intensity tones, increasing the pulse speed, and synchronizing your brain with the rhythm.

Are Binaural Beats Dangerous?
Brainwave Entrainment uses the exact same frequencies that we touch upon everyday in our daily lives. They allow you to reach certain levels of consciousness "On Demand". You should consult with a doctor before using Binaural Beats if you have heart problems, a history of mental illness, or any other factors that you're not sure about.

Also, keep in mind that Brainwave Entrainment affect your brain frequencies dramatically while in use.  You can go into a state similar to sleep or suddenly find yourself functioning at your most mentally active and creative level while using them.  Obviously, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery while using Binaural Beats.

History Of Binaural Beats
Binaural Beats were discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839, and were considered somewhat of a curiosity in scientific circles.  140 years later, a man named Gerald Oster wrote an article entitled "Auditory Beats in the Brain."  The article tied all previous research regarding Binaural Beats together, and concluded that it would be a powerful tool in neurological and cognitive research.  In particular, he noted how animals are able to pick out specific sounds in a sea of noise in much the same way that people can pick up a conversation in the midst of a noisy cocktail party - hence the name "the cocktail party effect."  The technology was later developed by physicist Thomas Campbell and Dennis Menerich with the assistance of Robert Monroe.  Together they found the first applications of Binaural Beats, including a program for out of body experiences.  Research continues to this day, as new tools come out to assist people in realizing their dreams and leading better, more empowered lives.
