Latest Developments in Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave Entrainment Can Help You Dramatically Improve Your Mental States & Abilities!
Recently, professionals in the areas of psychology, neurology, medical health and self-help have begun utilizing the power of brainwave entrainment in their work with patients and clients. Advances in the effectiveness of brainwave entrainment have been significant.
It is a relatively young but rapidly growing field that involves the study of how altering brainwaves naturally can allow people to easily enter states of increased intelligence, creativity, relaxation, pure energy and more! Researchers and scientists have found that different bands of brainwaves are associated with different mental states. Scientific studies have shown that brainwaves not only provide insight into an individual's mind and body, but they can be stimulated to actually change that person's current state. By causing the brain to produce or decrease specific types of brainwave frequencies, it is possible to bring about a large variety of mental states and emotional reactions.
Below are the 4 most common brainwave classifications:
Beta Waves (13 hz - 40 hz)
Beta Mp3's
Beta is identified with active, busy or anxious
thinking and active concentration. A healthy beta state allows you to think quickly and improve your focus. But too much time in the beta state can cause anxiety, stress, and paranoia, which can lead to muscle tension, depression, high blood pressure, and insomnia, among other sleep disturbances and health problems. While too much time in beta is obviously not good, a lack of sufficient beta activity can also cause mental or emotional disorders such as depression, ADD and insomnia. In such cases stimulating beta activity can improve emotional stability, energy levels, attentiveness and concentration.

Alpha Waves (8 hz - 12 hz)
Alpha Mp3's
When we begin to relax or begin to get drowsy, but are still awake and conscious, we are at the alpha level. Alpha patterns vary from deep alpha, a state of deep relaxation, (often referred to as the twilight state between sleep and waking) to the higher end of alpha that is a more focused, yet still a very relaxed state. Alpha is a very receptive, absorbent mental state and can be used for effective self-hypnosis, reprogramming the sub conscious, accelerated learning and more. When you spend more time in Alpha state, you'll find it easier to tap into your higher levels of creativity and expression.
When we are asleep and have dreams, and experience rapid eye movement (REM), and even when we experience deep meditation, we are at the theta level. Theta is a dream like stage, pre-sleep or pre-awaken stage (or deep meditation stage). Theta is associated with a number of beneficial states such as: sustained attention over time, enhanced creativity, boosted immune system, increased long term memory, opening the mind to suggestion and new ideas, advanced problem solving, deep meditation and deep relaxation etc., etc. In the slower theta brainwave pattern, the brain makes lots of relaxing endorphins that melt all your stress away.
Delta waves are usually associated with deep, slow brain activity found in deep sleep. Delta waves are experienced predominantly in newborn infants, as well as in healthy adults in deep rejuvenating sleep, or in very deep states of meditation. At the delta level the body replenishes its energy, releases anti-aging hormones like human growth hormone (HGH), relieves stress, and boosts the immune system. The delta state rejuvenates your mind, body, and spirit. When your dominant brainwave is delta, your body is healing itself and "resetting" its internal clocks so to speak.

Epsilon brainwaves are sub delta brainwaves below 0.5 hz, and they are associated with mystical states of consciousness, whole brain thinking, anti-aging, rejuvenation and so many more benefits. Few people, except those way advanced in meditation, persistently experience epsilon brainwaves on a daily basis. Optimal health on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level grows out of spending time consciously at theta, delta and epsilon brainwaves level.Interestingly, epsilon brainwaves are strongly related to very high frequency brainwaves called lambda brainwaves. The same states of consciousness are associated with both lambda and epsilon waves. Extraordinary states of consciousness, high states of meditation, ecstatic states of consciousness, high-level inspiration states, spiritual insight, out-of-body experiences, Yogic states of suspended animation etc., seem to be the main themes of the epsilon and lambda brainwave states.

How does Brainwave Entrainment work?
Here's the science behind brainwave entrainment: The brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which communicate with each other using electrical signals. All of these neurons sending signals at once produce a large amount of electrical activity commonly called a Brainwave pattern, because of its "wave" or cyclic-like nature. "Entrainment" is a principle in physics, where two cycles synchronize naturally with each other in order to work more efficiently. Entrainment is applied to chemistry, astronomy, electrical systems and much more, but can also be applied to the brain.
When the brain is provided with a stimulus, through the ears, eyes or other senses, it emits an electrical charge in response. This is called a Cortical Evoked Response. These electrical responses travel throughout the brain to become what an individual sees and hears. When the brain is given a consistent, repeating stimulus, such as drum beats or flashes of light, the brain responds by synchronizing, or entraining, its electric cycles to the external rhythm. This is commonly called the Frequency Following Response (or FFR), and it can be used to effectively alter our brainwave patterns.
In the last 10 years, there have been great advancements in the field of brainwave entrainment as it relates to cognitive functioning. Studies have shown that the brains of many people are actually functioning at low capacity. By targeting the specific brainwave band that is related to states of intense concentration and strong focus, scientists have been able to help individuals improve their academic performance. Entrainment can also be used to induce states of relaxation and even deep states akin to deep meditation. This can have profound benefits for people who are seeking to perform certain types of work, art or even attain certain spiritual states.
Still Wondering Whether Brainwave Entrainment Really Works?
In 1999, the Journal of Neurotherapy published a case study conducted by Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D. In the study Dr. Budzynski used 8 college students who were struggling academically. After undergoing audio-visual brainwave stimulation, the students outperformed a control group and significantly increased their grade point average. The GPA for the 8 students continued to rise even after treatment was discontinued!
Drs. Siegfried and Susan Othmer found that neurofeedback brainwave training in the 15-18 Hz range can produce significant shifts in IQ score, particularly with people who are suffering from ADD/ADHD and other disorders. In cases where the starting IQ value is less than 100, the average IQ increase was 33 points! They also found significant improvements in memory, reading and arithmetic. In a one year follow-up, trainees showed major improvements in self-esteem, concentration and self-expression.
Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones Are Two Ways to Alter Brainwaves
Binaural beats are the most recognized form of brainwave entrainment because it is the earliest. With binaural beats, a slightly different tone is presented into each ear. The tones then combine in the brain to form a pulse or "beat". The pulse heard by the listener is actually the difference between the two tones. For example, if the left ear is given a tone at 20 hertz and the right ear is given a tone of 30 hertz, then the listener will hear a beat of 10 hertz. And the brain will entrain to that rhythm.
While binaural beats are by far the most used form of brainwave entrainment, other more modern methods are quickly gaining popularity. The most promising of the new methods is Isochronic Tones. Isochronic tones are a somewhat less well known form of entrainment; however, they have proven to be much more effective. Isochronic entrainment uses a single tone that is manually spaced, turning on and off in a precise pattern. This actually enhances the effectiveness of audio entrainment.
Ultimately, the studies show that a new day has dawned. For those in persuit of any type of self development, brainwave entrainment can offer an excellent array of benefits.

Decades of History Behind Brainwave Entrainment
by Jason Wentworth (Red Five Development, LLC)
Brainwave synchronization or entrainment is the process by which an external stimulus operating at a particular frequency can cause the human brain to increase brainwave activity at that particular frequency, thereby modifying cognitive functioning.
In 1934, photonic light stimulation ("Photic Driving") was shown to cause brainwave synchronization when researchers found that the strength of the Alpha brainwave, discovered by Hans Berger in 1929, could be driven beyond its normal frequency using flickering lights.
In 1942, tactile stimulation was shown to cause brainwave synchronization by Dempsey and Morison through repetitive tactile stimulus.
In 1959, auditory stimulation was shown to cause brainwave synchronization by Dr. Chatrian, where the brain waves responded to clicks at a frequency of 15 per second.
In the 1960's, brainwave entrainment (synchronization) was being used as a tool to entrain the brain for desired effects. The amount of anesthesia needed for surgery was reduced by photic stimulation by M.S. Sadove, MD. During dental procedures, less anesthesia, less gagging, less bleeding, and reduction in anxiety were reported by Bernard Margolis due to brainwave entrainment.
In the 1980's, brainwave entrainment was being studied as a tool for Serotonin and HGH release, headache relief, and general relaxation by Dr. Norman Shealy, Dr. Glen Solomon, and others.
In 1980, photic stimulation was shown to produce "cerebral synchronization" by Tsuyoshi Inouye and associates at the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Osaka University Medical School in Japan. These results were later confirmed by Dr. Norman Shealy.
In 1981, the book MegaBrain was written by Michael Hutchison, discussing the many uses of entrainment, from meditation to increased learning.
In 1984, audio-visual brain stimulation and in particular hemispheric synchronization were analyzed during EEG monitoring by Dr. Brockopp, who said "By inducing hemispheric coherence the machine can contribute to improved intellectual functioning of the brain."
In the 1990's, the potential for using entrainment with ADD and learning disorders was studied by researchers such as Dr. Russel, Dr. Carter, and others.
To the present day, brainwave entrainment continues to be studied. Steady research comes from the work of Dr. Thomas Budzynski, David Siever, Michael Joyce, and others. Research has been conducted into PMS, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Depression, Hypertension, and a number of other disorders.
Many modern clinical EEG units now come with entrainment devices due to the promising results of studies done in the field of brainwave synchronization.
Over 70 years of research back the use of brainwave entrainment. There are continually more professionals, psychologists, mental health clinics, trainers, teachers, and individuals who are finding brainwave entrainment to be a remarkably useful tool.
Articles about Binaural Beats and Brainwave Entrainment

What Are Theta Binaural Beats Theta level binaural beats are associated with increases in memory as well as learning.....Because of the way they operate, this can help you to learn topics when other methods haven't been successful. Research shows that children spend a lot more time with their brains in a theta state than adults do. Which helps to explain why children can soak up information as though they were a sponge, whereas adults can often take longer. It's kind of the same as the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Maybe the equivalent in humans is at least in part to do with a lower level of theta brainwave activity.
Brainwaves, Binaural Beats And Your Health Binaural beats is a brain response when presented with two slightly different tonal changes in a stereo situation. When a person is presented with the two different tones - the brain produces a response (binaural beat) that produces an altered state in brainwaves and therefore a hypnotic trance or super learning type environment. The brainwaves entrain to or move towards the beat frequency. For example, if a 315 Hz wave is played into the right ear and a 325 Hz one into the left ear, the brain is supposed to be entrained towards the beat frequency. In this case it would be 10 Hz which in in the alpha range. Since alpha brain waves are associated with relaxation, this would have a relaxing effect.
Treating Insomnia With Brainwaive Entrainment I've used binaural beats audio myself, and just like the guided meditation, it did help me fall asleep. In fact, it worked much better than guided meditation on its own. The problem, however, is that binaural beats only work when you are wearing headphones. That's fine for falling asleep and it's usually okay just to remove the headphones as you feel yourself starting to drift off, but it doesn't help at all with staying asleep. I just can't wear headphones all night. So even with binaural beats, I still found myself waking frequently in the middle of the night and then not being able to get back to sleep again. There is another type of brainwave entrainment available though and it is called isochronic tones.
Binaural Beats - A Subconscious Technique to Improve Your Life Binaural beats' main objective is to use the power of sound and frequency to produce a reaction within the brain and create brain wave changes in the listener. It follows the same logic as deep meditation - a method commonly utilised by religious figures from the islands of Asia. Once you achieve that state of relaxation, your subconscious mind is freed and able to accept new information and reprogramming. Outlooks and mindsets that have been ingrained in your subconscious as a process that springs from your youth and the formative years can be slowly turned to a direction that can bring about success and an improvement in your life.
What is Brainwave Entrainment, Brain Wave Stimulation and Binaural Beats The correct way to guide or entrain the brain with sound toward the desired brainwave pattern is to first create pulses of sound frequency that the brain neurons will begin to synchronize with - like a room full of people who all begin to dance in rhythm to the beats of a music track. Once this synchronization is estimated to take place, usually about six minutes into an uninterrupted session, the sound pulses begin to gradually change frequency to guide - or entrain - our brainwaves to the target frequency and thus produce altered states of mind. The kinds of tones used in an entrainment session can vary, some mainly use Binaural Beats and some combine Isochronic tones to create the pulses. Other music, sounds and nature tracks can also be combined with the pulses, allowing the listener to enjoy and 'relax' into the experience more.
Brainwave Entrainment - Sound Healing For Your Subconscious Some people in a sound lab discovered that the brain has different states, from alpha to theta. These mark the sort of brainwave frequencies that the brain releases during different states of our waking and sleeping life. For example, the deep sleeping human is often in alpha state, a state known for unlocking tremendous learning capabilities. This is why studies of late have proven that studying just before you sleep helps in the learning and factual retention process. Amazed? Don't be. Other states can help in unlocking intelligence, creativity, and even a state of euphoria. The applications are endless.
Latest Developments in Brainwave Entrainment There Are Two Ways to Alter Brainwaves: Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones. Binaural beats are the most recognized form of brainwave entrainment because it is the earliest. With binaural beats, a slightly different tone is presented into each ear. The tones then combine in the brain to form a pulse or "beat". The pulse heard by the listener is actually the difference between the two tones. For example, if the left ear is given a tone at 20 hertz and the right ear is given a tone of 30 hertz, then the listener will hear a beat of 10 hertz. And the brain will entrain to that rhythm.
Stress Relief Music: Entrain Your Brain Through the use of designed sound combinations, selected binaural beats can be generated in our brains, placing us in a specific mental state. In addition to lowering ar raising brain wave frequency to relax or excite a listener, there are other more controversial, alleged uses for binaural beats. For example, it has been postulated that by using specific frequencies, an individual can stimulate certain glands to produce desired hormones. As an example, experiments have demonstrated that endorphins, commonly produced in the "runner's high" state of mind, can be generated by using specific combinations of binaural beats.
Frequency Following in Brainwave Entrainment The use of binaural beats in auditory tapes is innovative yet the use of binaural beats themselves is nothing new. In fact, binaural beats have been used very early in human history by primitive tribes. Research conducted by Melinda Maxfield PhD has shown that drumbeats found in rituals of many cultures that beat at a steady rate of 4.5 beats-per-second induce a trance-like state in listeners. In hearing these drum beats the brain undergoes a frequency following effect whereby brainwaves shift to a 4.5 beat-per-second pattern thus inducing a low Theta brainwave state. Repetitive beats and chanting have been used by Native American shamans, Hindu healers, Tibetan monks, Sufi dervishes and practiced Yogis to achieve brainwave states for healing and higher levels of consciousness.
Astral Projection and Binaural Beats Astral projection is just using parts of your brain that every human is capable of using, but seldom knows how. I am sure that you have heard that humans only use 10% of their brain. Imagine what we could do with the other 90% if given the proper instruction and tools.One method of reaching these outlying planes of your subconscious is by listening to binaural beats. This method is used for far more than just astral projection. These simple little sounds can be used to alter your state of consciousness and develop certain areas of your mind. Some examples of what binaural beats are capable of helping you to tap into are lucid dreaming, memory enhancement, prosperity, stress release, sleep, and weight loss.
Meditation Secrets I'm going to guess that you may or may not know how binaural beats, sometimes known as brain music, can deepen your meditation experience. If you use music as a background whilst you meditate, experiment with a professionally prepared binaural beats track in the background as well. I think you'll notice a positive difference the next time you meditate if you include them. You may also think that it takes hours of practice to meditate. The secret here is that it's focus that counts. A truly focused meditation session lasting only, say, 15 minutes, can have as much power as hours of unfocused meditating. Be present the next time you meditate. Keep yourself focused. Again, I suspect you'll notice a positive change from this small secret.
Use the Power Behind Binaural Beats It was found that when binaural beats are played the brainwaves of the listener will follow the frequency of the beat that is produced. It is now known that certain frequencies are conductive to different internal experiences. If your brainwaves are between 8 - 12 hertz, for example, you are said to be in the Alpha state. The ability to entrain the brain into different states is highly beneficial. Let's take a quick look at the common brainwave states and their associated physical states to get some idea of what I mean.
Binaural Beats - Sound Technology for Consciousness When brainwave patterns change it has been documented that there is also a change in chemical reactions within the body which can have a profound effect on your entire physical structure. In effect these beats have the same impact and benefits of a deep meditative state akin to hypnologic trance or transcendental mediation. Now very few people can enter such deep states of hypnosis and transcendental meditation takes a lifetime to perfect. So the immediate benefits of using binaural beats is apparent.
