Then choose the right frequency. For sleep, frequencies in the delta and theta ranges are commonly recommended, Chigadora says. You can find binaural beats soundtracks available for free on YouTube.
Delta waves (0.5-4 Hz) signify a state of deep sleep. A binaural beat with a frequency between 4 and 7 Hz, for example, is more likely to align with theta brain waves, promoting sleep and relaxation.
A 2018 study looked at how low frequency binaural beats affected sleep in 24 participants. The beats used were in the delta range, which is associated with deep sleep. It was found that the ...
Brain entrainment has recently garnered increasing interest as a technique that leverages the brain’s natural wavelength to synchronise with external rhythms, for improved concentration, relaxation ...
“The strategy with binaural beats is to create the perception of a specific frequency by presenting two slightly different frequencies to each ear,” Handley says. These frequencies then influence your ...
