How Binaural Beats Work - Their Use in Treatments
Binaural beats are particular sound artifacts which can stimulate brain independent of the physical stimuli.
For many decades scientists were aware of the fact that particular auditory elements and frequencies are associated with particular parts of our minds.
In 1839 Heinrich Wilhelm Dove managed to discover how binaural beats work.
When perceiving and receiving the sounds, our brain produces a very unique and particular phenomenon which is demonstrated with small pulsations.
Different frequencies or mixed sounds end in different pulsations.
If the sounds mix in a natural way, the brain has the ability to separate them as long as their frequency is from 1000-1500hertz.
This effect and observation proved to be very helpful and useful to the scientific community, which started using frequencies so as to help people adopt a particular state of mind.
This is something that Dove actually did: he played two particular - but pertinent - sounds into each ear, so as to produce an independent binaural beat in the mind, which resulted in the relaxation and positive thinking of the listener.
Binaural beats have been used since then in medicine and in healing; for instance, there are many scientists who support - and practice - that anxiety and stress could be relieved with binaural beats.
If you play a tone of 410Hz to someone, the binaural beat produced in the brain will be of 10Hz, which equals to the alpha frequency.
This is known to relieve stress and make people relax.
There are numerous binaural beat recordings and studios today available all over the world, used by scientists in order to treat mild mental and psychological disorders.
The binaural recordings can change the mental and emotional state of the patient, from being anxious to being calmer and more composed.
In other cases binaural beats are used to treat insomnia, or help people meditate.
