Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are a form of brainwave entrainment using two
separate sounds that combine to form one sound inside your brain.
One benefit that is often mentioned is that in order for the brain to
create a binaural beat, it must use both hemispheres of the brain (right and left), which is claimed to
produce "hemispheric synchronization".
Binaural beat audios must be listened to with headphones.
They are not the strongest form of entrainment but they do sound
pleasanter because the beat or tone is not so obvious. For this reason we do use binaural beats in some
audios.
The other kinds of beat used are:
Harmonic Box X
Harmonic Box X is a tone-based brainwave entrainment method described by James Mann in his book,
Awakening Mind 1. It has become quite popular in recent years.
The method is unique in that it incorporates both monaural and binaural beats, in a harmonic formation.
Because it uses binaural beats it requires headphones.
Monaural Beats
Monaural beats are similar to binaural except that the
brainwave entrainment sound is formed outside your brain. This means you do not need to wear headphones.
Isochronic Beats
Isochronic beats do not rely on the interaction of two tones to form
a beat. Instead, a beat is formed manually using audio modulations.They are
very effective in inducing entrainment.
You do not require headphones to listen to isochronic
beats.
