    A binaural beat intended for increasing intelligence. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion the brain perceives when two different tones are played, one into each ear.

    The idea that a recording can raise intelligence or thinking ability is a claim made by the people who produce such recordings. These are claims from the binaural-beat tradition and from the people who make these recordings. They are traditional or creator claims, not established findings, and experience varies from person to person.

    There seems to be a constant hum of activity in the majority of our lives. Even when we find physical stillness at the end of a long day, the mind often continues to race. Thoughts about things we should have done differently or fears we may have about things to come. They flood us without us being consciously aware of it. Many of these thoughts replay through our subconscious mind and so they go largely undetected. However, while there is much that pulls for our attention every day, exploring a variety of mindfulness exercises for relaxation may help us feel more at peace.
