Made using 174 Hz + 214 Hz, this gives you 90 minutes of pure 40 Hz binaural beats. According to Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist, 40 Hz is an optimum frequency for boosting our mental abilities for learning tasks. He uses this frequency, and I've been using this to work on some retraining courses I'm doing myself. I'm a huge fan of lifelong learning, so if this video helps with that in any way, I'd love to hear about it in the comments. Enjoy, and happy studying! #40hz #gamma #gammawaves #binaural #binauralbeats #nomusic #brainwaveentrainment #purebinauralbeats #focus ___ Binaural beats are a form of auditory illusion created by playing a slightly different frequency in each ear using headphones. When the brain processes these two frequencies, it perceives a third tone, known as the binaural beat, which has a frequency equal to the difference between the two input frequencies. This perceived beat is not actually present in the external environment but is a creation of the brain's processing. The underlying principle behind binaural beats is called "brainwave entrainment." It suggests that the brain's electrical activity can be synchronized or entrained to external rhythmic stimuli, such as sound frequencies. Various frequencies of binaural beats correspond to different mental states, ranging from relaxation to focus and even deep meditation. The benefits of binaural beats can vary from person to person. Some potential benefits reported by individuals include: Relaxation and stress reduction: Binaural beats in the lower frequency range, such as delta (0.5-4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz), are associated with deep relaxation and can help reduce stress and anxiety. Improved focus and concentration: Binaural beats in the alpha (8-13 Hz) and beta (13-30 Hz) ranges may enhance alertness, concentration, and cognitive performance. They may help with studying or for tasks requiring mental focus. Sleep enhancement: Binaural beats in the delta range can promote sleep and reduce insomnia by helping to induce a state of deep relaxation and facilitating the transition into sleep. Mood enhancement: Binaural beats may have mood-altering effects, promoting positivity, tranquility, or even euphoria. It's important to note that scientific research on the effectiveness of binaural beats still needs to be expanded. While some studies suggest positive effects, the individual response to binaural beats can also vary, and some people may be more receptive than others. Binaural beats are generally considered safe for most individuals when used correctly. However, there are a few considerations: Potential discomfort: Some individuals may find certain frequencies or volume levels of binaural beats uncomfortable or irritating. Always listen at a comfortable volume. Epilepsy and seizures: People with a history of epilepsy or seizures should exercise caution, as flashing lights or rapid auditory stimuli can trigger seizures in sensitive individuals. Dizziness or lightheadedness: Occasionally, binaural beats may induce mild dizziness or lightheadedness in some individuals. Remember that binaural beats should not replace medical treatment or professional advice for any health condition.
