Binaural Beats, Brain Entrainment Benefits
Beneficial Hormones
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland and may play a role in
anti-aging, and is important for day to day regeneration.
DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA lessons the stress effect on the body. Reduces the
effect of stress related hormones, including cortisol and may play a role in anti-aging and enhances neural connection’s and immune function.
Neurological Benefits of Binaural Beats and Brain Entrainment
Research has shown that meditative states not only release but also balance beneficial neuro chemicals - neurotransmitters.
Acetylcholine supports perception and cognition, memory, motivation
Beta-Endorphins opioid peptide neurotransmitter – pain relief
Dopamine regulates muscle control and balance, assists cognition; also linked with pleasurable feelings
Endorphins - Endogenous Morphine, is the body’s natural pain reliever
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) induces sleep and relaxation
Melatonin regulate sleep patterns, creates deep restful sleep
Serotonin -5-HT regulates, sleep, appetite, mood & behaviour

Brain and Frequencies
The brain is comprised of approximately 10 billion neurons. The neurons
communicate with each other by way of electrical impulses. These electrical
signals can be seen in the form of brainwaves, A brainwave is measured in cycles
per second or hertz. The big 4 brainwaves are Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. And,
their respective frequencies are 27Hz ~ 13Hz, 13Hz ~ 7Hz, 7Hz ~ 4Hz, 4HZ ~
0.2Hz. Brainwaves are completely natural to the brain, EEGs show that brainwave
states naturally occur from both internal and external stimulus. For example,
when eyes are closed more Alpha activity occurs, when in a deep sleep there is a
natural occurrence of the Delta frequency.
Sonic Brainwave Entrainment - Neural Synchronization How It Works
Binaural Beats
The methodology behind Sonic Brainwave Entrainment is using sound specifically
to synchronize brainwaves with a particular frequency. Binaural beats are
precise frequencies and when listened to through headphones, guides the brain
into the desired frequency such as relaxation or deep meditation.
Binaural beats are created when two auditory pulses (sounds), which have a
slightly different frequency, are presented to each ear with the use of
headphones, the brain then tunes into a rhythmic phantom beat which is not
audible. For example, the left headphone plays a tone of 500 Hz , the right
plays a tone of 510 Hz. By combining them both together the brain will perceive
the difference which is a tone or rather a standing wave of 10 Hz. It is this
phantom beat which is the binaural or auditory beat. The brain becomes entrained to the frequency which is the difference between the two tones. This
phenomenon is known as the Frequency-Following Response or (FFR). The superior
olivary nucleus, or put simply the brain stem, processes the Frequency Following
Response. The nuclei receive the signals from the ears, the information is
processed and then sent onto the reticular formation which uses
neurotransmitters and initiates changes in the cortex and thalamus. Brainwave
activity is changed to the desired beneficial frequency. Brainwave
synchronization by means of binaural beats synchronizes both hemispheres of the
brain.
Binaural beats will entrain the left and right hemispheres to the same
frequency. It is when the two hemispheres work jointly to calculate the binaural
beats, that the brain creates more balanced brainwaves or rather balanced
brainwave activity. This is termed 'whole brain functioning' also known as
'hemispheric synchronization'. This helps in not only maintaining brain
plasticity, but rather in keeping the connections between the regions of the
brain active.
By stimulating the brain with specific frequencies, there is an increase in
cerebral blood flow along with the production of neurotransmitters, new and
constructive neural pathways are formed as there is a growth of dendrites.
Delta brain wave frequencies (4HZ ~ 0.2Hz) of brainwave activity is most commonly
associated with the sleep state as well as dreaming. Delta waves will trigger
the release of growth hormone, which is important for regeneration and healing.
The Theta brainwave frequencies (7Hz ~ 4Hz) of brainwave activity, generally are
associated with deep meditation as well as deep relaxation. It is also linked
with increased memory, learning and burst of creative insight.
Alpha frequencies brainwave (7-13 Hz.) are more commonly associated with light relaxation,
meditation,
along with super learning.
The Beta brain wave frequency of brainwave activity (27Hz ~ 13Hz) in general is associated
to the normal everyday awake state of alertness.
Gamma brainwave frequencies (Higher than > 27Hz) in general has been associated to
tension and anxiety, physical demanding tasks and hyperactivity.

Pulsed sound within the structure of musical rhythms has been entraining people's brains for many thousands of years.
Since ancient time's, shamans and holy men alike have been synchronizing and
influencing their
brains, by methods using mantras or music,
such as drum beats. By repetitively using the same sound, brain rhythms
synchronize. Brain synchronization has been used in tribal rituals to induce
meditation/relaxation like states, by methods of drums beats. What happens is
the brain synchronizes with the frequency of the drum beat. Altering natural
brainwave frequencies has been practiced for thousand of years, ancient cultures
used chanting, drum beats or staring at fire to entrain their brains.
Do not drive a vehicle or operate machinery or do any activity that requires
alertness, while listening to meditation CD's or recordings that contain binaural beats. Not
recommended for epileptics or anyone who is susceptible to seizures. Do not use
if you have any other medical/mental conditions that may be affected by brain
stimulation.
