![]() The word binaural means “having or related to two ears”, the “bi” portion of the word is for two and the “aural” portion is related to ears. ³ This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. How Do Binaural Beats Work?Ī binaural beat (or binaural tone) is an auditory illusion that occurs when you are listening with headphones to two different pure tone sine waves, both with frequencies lower than 1500 Hz, with less than a 40 Hz difference between them. ![]() Some researchers found lucid dreamers as high as 40 Hz. When you become lucid in a dream you may end up in the Gamma state. You may end in REM sleep and start dreaming, which would be the Gamma state. When you sleep your brain doesn’t just stop processing it actually starts to process more. ² Or if you meditated before bed you might slip into the Alpha, Theta, or Delta state. ![]() If you went home and switched on the TV, you would likely switch to Alpha within a minute of watching it. Once you get back from work you become more relaxed and may go from the Beta state into the Alpha state. When you have to really use your brain for more difficult problem-solving tasks you might enter the Gamma state. Then once you get to work, there might be a very challenging project you have to work on. The “zoning out” is called highway hypnosis (or white line fever) and you might have dipped back into the Theta brainwave state. After getting ready for work, you might get onto the highway and “zone out”. But as soon as you started thinking about what you have to do that day, you’d end up in the Beta state. Our brainwaves are constantly changing, so you might wake up in a drowsy state from your dreams which would be Theta or Alpha state. If they were constantly in a state of Delta we wouldn’t be able to think properly or learn things. If our brains were constantly operating in a state of Beta we wouldn’t allow our bodies time to relax and heal themselves. The five frequencies that our brain can be operating on are: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. Listening to binaural beats can change the frequency of our brain into another state and some people use them in order to relax more easily after an intense day at work, tap into their more creative side in order to solve a problem or work more efficiently, or even to plant affirmations into their subconscious to reprogram themselves.
