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

Improving Your Life Using Deep Brain Simulation There are many forms of deep brain stimulation - religious luminaries and mind experts use the power of meditation. However, if this is beyond us, then science has decided to step in and fill the cavernous gap left for the rabble of modern society. Magnetic field technology is one such example, presenting itself in equipment that runs this field over the temporal lobe (over specific areas and specific volumes). Using alternating signals, it can 'switch on' a meditatory experience - allowing us control over our subconscious mind. Another one gaining popularity is the area of resonance and Binaural Beats. While the literature on this is complicated, I will give you a condensed version. Binaural Beats are brain responses to very low frequency sounds.
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.
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.
Choosing the Best Meditation Music The best music will slow your brainwaves down so you go from the normal waking or "Beta" state of consciousness (14 to 30 hertz) to and "Alpha" brainwave state (8 - 14 hertz) or deeper. The alpha state is one of relaxed alertness, and is considered a light meditative state. The "Theta" state (4 - 8 hertz) is one of deeper meditation - if you stay awake (drowsiness is common). Do this kind of meditation music work? My wife and I have tried several different products, and yes, brainwave entrainment works.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Brainwave Entrainment and the Cyber Monk Different states of mind such as sleep, relaxation, euphoria and meditation are created through the brain's production and maintenance of frequencies within the mind, or brainwaves. In fact there is a direct relation between any given brainwave and state of mind the brain is in. There are unique brainwave patterns for meditation, relaxation, sleep and dreaming as well as lesser known or achieved states that allow individuals to achieve astral projection, remote viewing, past life regression, ESP and hypnosis. Practitioners of meditation and hypnosis spend years perfecting and utilizing these states for power over their own mind and body as well as those of others. However with the science of brainwave entrainment one can bypass years of mental practice and achieve these same states in as little as 5-10 minutes!This is how brainwave entrainment works in generating altered states of consciousness. Brainwave entrainment works through something called "binaural beats".
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.
Using your Brain(waves) to enhance Your Creativity Several audio programs are available that make it easy to control brainwave activity. The programs work by using a series of tones at precise frequencies to induce the desired brainwave activity. The tones are masked by soothing classical music or natural rainfall sounds. Many of these programs use a "binaural beat" where different frequencies are delivered to each ear. When listened to using headphones, the two hemispheres of the brain work together to integrate the two sounds and guide the brain into specific frequency patterns. These synchronized brainwaves have long been associated with meditative states. The reason that binaural beats work to induce these states of consciousness has to do with the physiology of the brain.
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!
