Latest Developments in Brainwave Entrainment
by Thomas Digges
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

Binaural Beats - What to Expect There are many types of sensations you may experience when meditating, but with Binaural Beats you may experience them sooner rather than after months/years of practice. I am now going to give you some valuable information. Why is it valuable? Because without knowing what you may experience when using Binaural Beats, people may become worried or scared. A few people have actually told me that they did not know what to expect and it totally freaked them out. This is a shame because it can make you very apprehensive the next time and limit the effect you are trying to achieve.
How to Rid yourself of Your Negative Attitude Enjoy your life. Appreciate what you have. Take time to notice the little things. Remember things in life that you have achieved - remember the feeling. Start imagining yourself how you want to be. A great exercise for this is to look into a mirror and say out loud: ' I love you', 'you are beautiful', 'you are confident', 'people like being around you' But you must say it with conviction. Some people will find looking into a mirror and telling themselves 'I love you' an extremely hard, painful thing to do. They may cry, they may not be able to say it at all. Keep trying. You are starting to break the barriers down. They have been there a long time so it may take some work. But it will be worth it. Positive affirmations do work. You are training your mind to look at yourself in a different way. Re-programming your mind. You can do these on your own. You can use many different alternative therapies such as Self Hypnosis, Meditation, Meditation which is enhanced by Binaural Beats
What is the Truth About Binaural Beats Binaural beats allows anyone to enter deep meditative states within minutes. All you need are stereo headphones and a well chosen brain entrainment track. Binaural beats were discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. While he was an Associate Professor at the University of Berlin, he discovered that when two similar sounds, which differ only slightly in frequency, are heard separately by the right and left ear a beat type effect is created in the brain. Even though no beat exists the brain interprets the difference between the frequencies of the two sounds and creates the illusion that there is one. These are binaural beats.
Control Your Brain Waves, Control Your Life Slanting the brain in a positive perception actually fires up the body's healing process. Brainwave entrainment has been researched into the study of healing mind related disease and even helping patients with amnesia regain their memory retaining capabilities.Clever little men in white coats have discovered that engineered beats that have differing frequencies (beyond human hearing) can actually invoke a cortical response and fires up the neurons to let loose brainwaves for a specific purpose.
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.
Take Your Life Back With Brainwave Mind Control Programming Gain new energy, gain new drive and get new ambition. It's like holding a remote control in your hand that can instantly switch you to a meditative state, reach down into the recesses of your mind and reprogram it. The technology is well developed, from areas like biofeedback, binaural beats, magnetic field induction and even training yourself to meditate using yoga. Log on and find out more. Your life is precious; don't let it run away from you. Take back your life and be all you can be with brainwave mind control programming.
The Benefits, Drawbacks and Truths About Holosync and Binaural Beats Binaural Beats are created by an audio mixing technique that sends different frequency tones to each ear separately. They are designed to alter the listener's brain wave activity and they do this very effectively. By relaxing in a quiet environment, closing your eyes and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create almost any brainwave pattern required. It has been well documented that when brainwave patterns change they cause a change in chemical reactions within the body. These chemical reactions usually have a profound effect on the entire physical structure of the body. In essence binaural beats appear to have the same impact and benefits of very deep meditation. In fact the use of such technology has been shown to be almost identical to transcendental mediation.
Does Lucid Dreaming Binaural Beats Really Work Listening to Lucid Dreaming Binaural Beats is safe and works very quickly if you want to enhance your Lucid Dreaming capabilities, you should give this product a try. Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain independent of physical stimuli. The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the loudness of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo headphones.
Benefits of Binaural Beat Audio The most appealing aspect of binaural beats is that they allow one to achieve altered states of consciousness in just 5-10 minutes simply by sitting back, relaxing and listening to the audio. Imagine how much better life will be with enhancement through binaural frequency harmonics. Listening to the audio tapes upon waking each morning would allow one to start the day fresh and focused while listening to the tapes at bedtime would allow for a full, regenerative sleep with which one will wake full of energy and vigor.
Brainwave Entrainment: Learn How your Brain Can Repair Itself Your brain creates a pathway for cells only, so they can move from one area of the brain to the other, replacing damaged cells on the way. The understanding of how this complicated cell pathway works is really important and scientists all over the world are making experiments to discover how this system works. What challenges the scientists is to understand how these new cells are created and how they are moving through the brain identifying problem areas and transforming to replace the old and unhealthy cells. Is there a way to help this process of generating, new cells? After years of research on rats scientists have discovered that we can actually increase the production rate of healthy cells and we can further clear the way (cell pathway) for the cells to move through the brain into problem areas and replace destroyed cells quickly and effectively.
What is the Best Way to Meditate Since we all are living in society there are much more distractions than some one living in a hermitage. These methods are more suitable for hermits living far away and who had given up social life and has no distractions for that matter. Then what is the best way for people like us to meditate? In my experience the most effective meditation technique for laymen like us is to listen to a Brainwave Entrainment program. This is the shortest cut for people living in society like you and me and who wants to get all the benefits that meditation has to offer. Brain wave training is the easiest and most effective way to achieve fast results with the least time and least expense. Actually what meditation does is, it reduces your brain wave frequency to alpha or theta and some times to delta.
Binaural Beats, Brain Entrainment and Achieving Effortless Success Binaural Beats were first discovered in the 1800s but lately have been updated with the newest sound technologies to create truly wonderful recordings that create real measurable and lasting changes. In a similar manner to mind machines, which are very costly, binaural beats create very specific brainwave patterns. They can create states that are identical to the deepest states of meditation within only a few short minutes. Without going too deeply into the many benefits of deep meditation I will just say that reduced stress, heightened creativity and removal of emotional issues are the main benefits.However, using binaural beats will also give you complete access to the subconscious mind. By gaining access to the subconscious part of the mind you have gained full control over the mind. This means you can make dramatic and fast changes in any life area you can think of!
The Latest in Brainwave Sychronization With External Rhythmic Stimuli Your own brainwave frequencies start synchronizing to the rhythm and beat of the music, the external rhythmic stimuli. The researchers call that Frequency Following Response: FFR.
The first recorded instance of FFR was in 1656. Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch scientist, was trying to develop a more accurate clock. He placed two unsynchronized pendulum clocks on a wall next to each other. What he noticed was that the two clocks slowly synchronized to each other, and the synchronization was so accurate that even mechanical intervention could not synchronize them better. It was later discovered that entrainment is a principle in all of nature, as evidenced in chemistry, physics, and biology.
