Yeah, well that's not what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about is using binaural beats to entrain brainwave
frequencies -- one frequency is played in one ear and another frequency
is played in the other ear. When that happens, the brain perceives a
third tone.
That's pretty much all I know about it right now, however, I know that it
has been proven to be a useful method for entraining brainwaves (in the
EEG)
All I want to know is if anyone has the information as to which
frequencies will create which responses...
