Imagine enjoying your favorite food, or the feeling of listening to your favourite music; a sunny Saturday morning after a good sleep, or the feeling of contentment after finishing a good book. These feelings of wellbeing, contentment and happiness can be represented — strangely enough — by a combination of geometric shapes: a hexagon connected

The Oster Curve was developed by Dr. Gerald Oster, who pioneered binaural beats research in the 70s. He proposed how they might be used as a diagnostic tool for purposes related to health and science.As we explain in our article here, Dr. Oster didn’t invent binaural beats, or propose their use for brainwave entrainment; that

The human hearing range of 20-20,000 Hz refers to the sound you hear, the ‘pitch frequency’. With brainwave entrainment music, brainwaves are not stimulated by the pitch (the sound), but by the frequency of the beat/tone; that is how often it cycles/vibrates per second. If we refer to a 6 Hz binaural beat, our ears

Alpha brainwaves are associated with stress reduction, relaxation, flow, and positive thinking. And using binaural beats has become a popular way to encourage the brain to produce more Alpha waves and enable a listener to access these positive mental states. In 2017, the effect of Alpha waves binaural beats audio was studied at the Department

Delta brainwaves are most abundant in deep sleep (stage N3), an important regenerative period where the body heals and repairs itself. Without enough of this deep sleep, we are unable to properly recover and heal. The first cycle of Stage N3 sleep lasts around 45-90 minutes, and the cycles get shorter as your night’s sleep

Gamma waves are the fastest brainwaves. They oscillate from around 35 Hz up to 100 Hz. These brainwaves are commonly associated with attention, learning and conscious perception. Research conducted on Zen Buddhist monks demonstrated high-level gamma wave synchrony, a state associated with robust brain function and the synthesis of conscious activity. The findings were published

The large majority of people prefer to listen to binaural beats music with some form of music overlay that masks the frequency track underneath. This is because listening to a pure tone isn’t to everyone’s taste. However, some people do enjoy the hypnotic properties of the naked tone, and some purists may argue that this

The Solfeggio scale has become very popular in the last few years, with many turning to this ancient scale for its purported healing properties. We use this scale to tune our instrumentation and complement the desired outcome of our wellbeing audios, and therefore have a pretty good understanding of how it works. But what is

When we talk about binaural beats, or tones, or brainwave entrainment as a whole, we’re simply taking about frequency, or frequencies. Unsurprisingly, most people don’t really know what this means. In this article we will simplify frequency-based music, so that you can get a good idea of how it works and what’s really going on

For a while now people have speculated as to whether binaural beats work properly with noise cancelling headphones. And even if they do, is there some negative impact on the frequencies involved? A simple yes or no can answer this question. But to put your mind at rest, it is important to understand how this
