What Are Binaural Beats?

What are binaural beats?

When two tones of slightly different frequency are presented to each ear, the brain detects this as a difference in the sound heard and the result is an illusion of sound that is perceived as coming from somewhere else. The effect is similar to a direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) transformer connected to a common ground. The sound that is perceived by the brain is called a binaural beat and it can help you sleep, focus, and meditate.

What are the different types of binaural beats?

There are five different types of binaural beats:

• Alpha waves
• Beta waves
• Delta waves
• Gamma waves
• Mu waves
• Theta waves

Directions:

To generate a binaural beat, first drag the slider to the desired frequency and the base frequency. Next, drag the slider to the desired beat pitch level. To generate binaural beats around the different frequencies, click the appropriate frequencies and adjust the device volume using the on-screen volume slider.
