Binaural Beats

With this app you can easily generate pure waves that will stimulate your concentration, meditation or relaxation, open-source, GPLv3.

**What are Binaural Beats?**
A binaural beat is an auditory illusion perceived when two different pure-tone sine waves are heard dichotically, that is one through each ear. For example, if you wear a pair of headphones and one side is playing a 440Hz tone and the other side is playing a 450Hz tone you will actually hear a third tone that is the difference of the two frequencies. Your brain will interpret the difference between 440Hz and 450Hz and you will hear a third tone of 10Hz.

**Brainwave Entrainment**
It is possible for external stimuli to persuade your brain to operate on certain frequencies. It is similar to sypmathetic resonance if you play any musical instruments. When you listen to binaural audio and your brain interprets and hears the third tone it also starts to entrain to that frequency. The theory is that you can listen to the binaural beats during a meditation to help bring your brain down to a lower frequency meditative state.

The binaural beat is neurologically conveyed to the reticular formation which uses neurotransmitters to initiate changes in brainwave activity.

**Brain Waves & Consciousness**
- gamma waves (>40Hz) - higher mental activity , perception , problem solving , fear release.
- beta waves (13-39Hz) - active , busy or anxious thinking , active concentration and cognition.
- alpha waves (7–13 Hz) - relaxation while awake , pre-sleep and pre-wake.
- theta waves (4-7Hz) - dreams , deep meditation , REM sleep.
- delta waves (<4Hz) - deep dreamless sleep , loss of body awareness.
