"Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain independent of physical stimuli. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove." This is according to the wikipedia entry on the subject, and if it all feels a little Geek to you, don't worry... This is far too interesting not to understand.
What this means is that listening with earphones to two different frequencies in each ear, instead of hearing two sounds, we hear a beating third sound. This beating sound is created by the brain itself and bears no resemblance to any of the two sounds from the earphones. Much in a sense like magic.
Due to the design of our brain, the frequency of our thought patterns change to the frequency of the magical beating sound that we hear. The sound that is being created by the Binaural tones that we are listening to in our earphones. By listening to these tones, the frequency of our brain pattern that determine if we are alert, dreamy or focused can be influenced by something that isn't even real!
In technical terms wikipedia describes it as "a naturally occurring phenomenon where the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus." I prefer to describe it as magic! The magic of H.W. Dove.
Magic that can tune your brain, and never loses its charm as long as you keep tuning in.
If you are lucky enough to have an iphone you can get the app at Rock, if not but would still like to experience the magic for yourself, check out some of the free samples available at HealingBeats.
