Binaural beats were discovered in 1839 by physicist Heinrich Willhelm Dove. Dove discovered that when signals of two different frequencies are presented separately, with one to each ear, your brain detects the phase differences between these two signals, and integrates them by producing the sensation of a third “beat”. This third frequency is what is called the “binaural beat”, and it is equal to the difference of the two frequencies being presented in each ear. For example, if the left ear is being presented with 105 Hz, and the right is being presented with 110 Hz, the binaural beat would be 5 Hz, which is the exact difference between the two.
This is a different way to relax, release anxiety and stress for some but not for all. If you would like to try some binaural beats, click here.
