Binaural beats, or binaural tones, are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, caused by specific physical stimuli. This effect earned greater public awareness in the late 20th century based on claims coming from the alternative medicine community that binaural beats could help induce relaxation, meditation, creativity, and other desirable mental states. The effect on the brainwaves depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone (in this particular video we use frequencies of the Delta and Theta range which will induce Deep Meditation, relaxation, NREM Sleep, Deep Dreamless Sleep and loss of body awareness).The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subjectโs ears, using stereo headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of the brain.Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves and provide other health benefits such as control over pain.
