The Power Of The Binaural BrainBy: Michael McGrath You have heard about binaural beats and read about the wonders that are claimed for them. Many manufacturers claim that binuaral technologies can be used to change your life in dramatic ways. Is this true? To answer this question we must first take a look at what binaural beats are and how they work! Binaural beats are in fact an illusion. These strange beats do not really exist independently of the brain. They are not really there. Binaural beats are an effect that the brain creates when it hears specific sounds presented in a specific way. Just as an optical illusion does not exist but is merely a trick of the eyes, binaural beats do not really exist and are a trick of the mind (or ears). Binaural beats occur only when you wear a set of stereo headphones. Through the stereo headphones one ear hears on eof the tones while the other ear hears the other tone. The tones are identical except for the frequency of each. It is when these tones are played simultaneously, one to the left ear and one to the right, that the brain merges them to create one sound. It's a bit like your eyes. You see one image from the right eye and one from the left but the brain merges the two so you see only one image. When you listen to these tones through stereo headphones the brain merges them both to create just one tone. However, a beat type effect is also produced. The beat is the exact difference between the two tones. For example if one tone has a frequency of 30 Hz and the other has a frequency of 20 Hz then the beat type effect would have a frequency of 10 Hz. So how is this effect of binaural beats useful to us? How can we benefit from this binaural technology? Well it has been known for a long time that our mental, emotional and physical states are all ruled by the brain. It is also known that the brain produces brainwaves that have a specific frequency depending on what we are doing. When we are asleep the brain displays Theta or Delta brainwaves. When relaxed, in trance or daydreaming the brain displays Alpha brainwaves. When we are alert and full of energy the brain displays Beta brainwaves. Through much research and experimentation the exact frequency ranges of these brainwave states is known. The exciting thing about binaural beats is that when you listen to them the brain begins to resonate at the same frequency as the binaural beats you are hearing! This means we have the ability to create any brainwave state we want and thus enjoy the mental, emotional and physical benefits associated with them. It is possible to experience deeper levels of sleep, laser-like concentration, better retention of learned knowledge, more relaxation and many other benefits merely by listening to a binaural beats recording. Such uses of binaural beats means that, with the correct recording and frequencies, you can easily create a multitude of mental, emotional and physical states. Just pop on your headphones, plug into some binaural recordings and chill out!

Binaural beats work by playing slightly different frequencies into your ears. When your brain tries to resolve the minor difference between the two beats you're hearing, they take you quickly and effortlessly into the brainwavelevel that you've decided to listen to. In case you want to program your own, the frequency range for Theta is between 4 and 7 Hz. Various trials have shown that this level encourages your brain to make the "feel good" things called endorphins. One of the other reasons for choosing the theta level when you consider buying a binaural beats MP3 is that they are generally considered to help with learning. Studies have also shown that people listening to them on a regular basis find that they need less sleep - reports vary from between one and four hours less, depending on the person. Because the theta frequency level is associated with dreaming, you may well come across them when you are searching for items to help you dream - whether that's lucid dreaming or just the quest to banish sleepless nights. Theta level binaural beats are also associated with increases in memory as well as learning that was mentioned earlier. Because of the way they operate, this can help you to learn topics when other methods haven't been successful. Research shows that children spend a lot more time with their brains in a theta state than adults do. Which helps to explain why children can soak up information as though they were a sponge, whereas adults can often take longer. It's kind of the same as the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Maybe the equivalent in humans is at least in part to do with a lower level of theta brainwave activity. You may also come across binaural beat MP3s and CD that use the alpha brainwave level for learning - this works as well as the theta level. So don't panic if you come across different levels of brainwave entrainment being used to the same thing. Quite a lot of the experiments to prove the effectiveness of binaural beats have been done by an organization called the Monroe Institute. They tend to combine their use with other systems, such as hypnosis. One thing to be aware of if you are buying any sort of audio with binaural beats included is that the compression used should be as low as possible. Technologies such as MP3 are designed to compress file sizes by cutting out parts of recordings that we don't normally listen to. Typically this includes things such as binaural beats. So you need to make sure that you're getting what you think you're purchasing. It's often better to wait a few days for a CD to arrive but if the download you're looking at is large, chances are that it will also be uncompressed.
