Are the binaural beats Digital Drugs?

Everyone knows that illegal drugs are dangerous for our health. However, legal drugs such as medicines can also be dangerous if they are taken in excess as well. Binaural beats on the opposite are non intrusive digital drugs.People take drugs for vaious reasons. Most of them are medical in nature. For example, because of stress, pain, depression, or for many other reasons. Soon enough appears dependencies that come with the use of these drugs.Happily, there is a safer alternative with the use of binaural beat audios. They are completely safe sounds that are emited in two different frequencies through your headphones in order to create a beat. These frequencies can literally alter your brain waves for better.Much like traditional drugs that have effects on your brain, so can these digital drugs....

How brainwave entrainment helps to reduce depression

Depression, also defined as major depressive disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, is a mental disorder characterized by an all encompassing low mood accompanied by low self esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.Major depression is a disabling condition which adversely affects a person's family, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health. In the United States, approximately 3.4% of people with major depression commit suicide, and up to 60% of all people who commit suicide have depression or another mood disorder.Recently, scientists have found that depression is a slow wave disorder, meaning that those individuals tend to exhibit lower beta and more alpha and theta waves than normal people resulting in persistent fatigue...

How brainwave entrainment technologies helps you to reduce stress

Stress is a biological term which refers to the consequences of the failure of a human or animal body to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats to the organism, whether actual or imagined.It includes a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion. Common stress symptoms include irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physical reactions, such as headaches and elevated heart rate.In technical terms, stress is a state of overabundance of beta or higher activity, typical of anxiety or stress. Not surprisingly, people lacking of these vital brainwaves often turn to external substances (such as alcohol, tobacco, or drugs) to induce the production of these brainwaves, providing temporary, and...

How brainwave entrainment helps women with premenstrual syndrome

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle. Most women (about 80 percent) have some symptoms of PMS. These symptoms usually have sufficient severity to interfere with some aspects of life. Such symptoms are usually predictable and occur regularly during the two weeks prior to menses.At first look, it may seen illogical that brainvawe entrainment can have a signifcant impact on PMS symptoms, however, the brainwave pattern of women suffering from PMS is surprisingly unique. Istra Toner, of the Royal Medical Schoolin London, studied brainwave patterns of subjects with PMS and found an abnormally high amount of Delta frequencies. A lack of blood flow have been found by other researches.Recent research indicates...

Summary of brainwave stimulation sessions to achieve desired mental states

After describing the individual benefits of each brainwave: gamma, beta, alpha, theta and delta we can now present a summary of these brainwaves.The stimulation of human brainwaves is done with sound through binaural beats. While human perceptions of sound ranges from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the frequencies of human brain waves are below about 40 Hz. To get the desired mental wave any sound stimulation is useful always that one sound play in one ear and another in the other ear. For example, if a 315 Hz sine wave is played into the right ear and a 325 Hz one into the left ear, the brain is entrained towards the beat frequency -10 Hz- or the alpha range and in in the same way for the nexts braiwaves.Binaural beat stimulation has been used fairly extensively to induce a variety of states of consciousness,...

Advantages and disadvantages of delta brainwave stimulation (0 - 4hz)

Delta brainwaves are the lowest in brainwave frequency: ranging from 0 - 4 Hz, but are the highest in amplitude They are considered the most relaxing brainwave frequency range and are commonly associated with the deepest sleep [stages 3 & 4] and a state of unconscious awareness. Delta brainwaves, like other slower brainwave patterns, are generated in the right hemisphere, though they may be observed in widespread patterns throughout various parts of the brain. The delta brainwave range is associated with empathy, the unconscious mind, and a decreased sense of awareness but also with slow mind.Advantages of increasing delta brainwaves:Release...

Advantages and disadvantages of theta brainwave stimulation (4 -8 hz)

Theta brainwaves are considered extremely relaxing brainwave activity that is commonly associated with sleep and dreaming. Theta brainwaves are high in amplitude and cycle within the range of 4 – 8 Hz and are usually generated in the brains right hemisphere.Theta waves kick in when we feel emotional, relaxed, daydreamy, unfocused, or are asleep.Theta brainwaves are generally thought of as the brainwaves that are dominant in people with A.D.D., high levels of relaxation, high levels of creativity, and random thinking. The theta brainwave is considered the brainwave pattern that is dominant in deeply relaxed, dream sleep but they are also related...

Advantages and disadvantages of alpha brainwave stimulation (8 – 12 Hz)

Alpha waves describe the brain electrical activity in the frequency range from 8 to 12 hz during periods of waking relaxation with the eyes closed. Conversely alpha waves are attenuated with open eyes as well as by drowsiness and sleep. They are thought to represent the activity of the visual cortex in an idle state.Alpha is generally thought of as the normal brainwave that is dominant in people who are relaxed, creative, and have a clear mind. Alpha is considered the “normal” brainwave pattern and is dominant when people close their eyes.Alpha stimulation is considered the healthiest and the frequency recommended ranges around the 10 Hz. It...

Advantages and disadvantages of beta brainwave stimulation (12-40 hz)

Beta brainwaves describe the brain activity than is in the range of frequencies from 12 to 40 Hz. Usually generated in the brain’s left-hemisphere, beta states are associated with normal waking consciousness. Beta waves are also associated with active, busy, or anxious thinking and active concentration. In conclusion, beta brainwaves are considered to be the normal brainwave pattern in healthy adults.Benefits of increasing beta brainwave activity include:Ability to think quicklyWhen a person is high in beta brainwaves, they are able to think fast, generate new ideas quickly, and live in a high-state of functioning. Quick thinking and mental...

Advantages and disadvantages of gamma brainwave stimulation (40 - 100 Hz)

Gamma brainwaves are produced when masses of neurons emit electrical signals at the rate of around 40 times a second or more (100 - 40 Hertz or Hz). These patterns of brainwaves are associated with states of peak performance (both physical and mental), high focus, and concentration. They also are related to mystic and transcendental experiences such as out of body experiences and altered states. On the other hand, they have been observed in anxiety, schizophrenia and hyperactivity.Benefits of increasing gamma brainwaves:Boosted memoryHigh amounts of gamma brainwaves have been associated with a boosted memory and ability to recall past events.Enhanced...

Video about the physical benefits of brainwave entrainment

Perhaps you may think that brainwave entrainment is a tool to get some fun and relax without real physical effects. But you are wrong, in this video, from the Centerpoint Research Institute, you will be informed about the recent research about the physical benefits of brainwave entrainment.Among the benefits are:The natural production of the Growth Hormone (HGH); the hormone that stimulates the growth and reproduction of cells in humans and animals.The natural production of the Melatonin; the hormone of healthy sleep and powerful antioxidant.The natural production of the Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA); the precursor hormone of all hormones, such as testosterone and estrogens.Also a deep relaxation reduces the production of the Cortisol hormone;also known as the "stress hormone".<br>...
