The frequencies don't need to be binaural (in different ears) for you to hear a beat. When you're tuning an instrument, you can play the same note on 2 different strings at the same time, and you will hear the difference in the frequencies as a "beating". The slower that beating is, the closer the frequencies are, so you can keep tuning one of the strings until you can no longer hear the beating.

I struggled with intermittent insomnia in my 20s and 30s, but since I started doing binaural beats/brainwave entrainment when I go to bed in my early 40s, I have pretty much eliminated the insomnia completely. It might still get me a few nights per year, but I have never slept better and more consistently as an adult. If it's a placebo, so be it. I also use ASMR leading up to bedtime to help calm my mind and get me drowsy. Where once it might take me half an hour or longer to drift off, it's normal for me to fall asleep within 10 minutes.

Is it possible that the brainwave monitor you were using was merely measuring facial muscle movement rather than brainwaves? That may explain the spike on the graph when you started talking, rather than when you were sat in silence. I ask, because I'd be surprised if the device's claims are legitimate.

I think the term "brainwaves" makes them seem like something they aren't. There is some level of tangibitily to "waves" and that leaves the impression that they are something physical you can interact with. In reality brainwaves are more similar to an EKG, in that they are just a representation of the electrical activity of the brain. When you are awake and active your neurons are constantly firing as they are needed, and that looks almost like static on the EEG. When you stop demanding your neurons fire is when Alpha Waves start appearing, and you can think of it as sort of the default state when you're not busy thinking about something. Neurons start having a coordinated activation and deactivation pattern that forms an actual wave on the EEG. The hypothesis is interesting, but sound wave frequency doesn't get translated as neurons activating at the frequency of the sound, rather you have constant activation of the neurons that detect that specific tone, meaning there is no real way for a physical sound wave to start influencing the neural pattern to reflect it.

My hypothesis is that the entry level eeg devices do not measure minute electromagnetic waves emanating from the brain. I speculate that rather they measure skin resistance which fluctuates as affected by neural electric activity. To this end I used an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the points of contact on my head where the eeg device would normally contact my skin. Then I simply replaced my head with an appropriate value of a electronic resistor. The reading and display I observed were identical to the readings seen when the device was attached to my head. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8-WasyX3KvNkok.html

The problem with "debunking" studies in matters of productivity and focus is that usually they don't bother with taking the original claim seriously. Are these the correct binaural frequencies to achieve the intended effect? Do the headphones work as expected? etc etc. I have seen many studies debunking strawmen, which, in turn, make me feel unsatisfied and prone to believing the original claim, even if it is a placebo effect. Of course, in science, the claims need rigorous proof, but the replicability crisis in these fields doesn't help us much.

I think it's important to distinguish what a binaural beat actually is, from the "brain entrainment" effects that some people claim binaural beats have.

Well, with Ryanair (low cost airline with only one class configuration) you can notice quite a lot that the noise in the first rows is much lower than at the back. And I bet it doesn't have to do with the insulation but with the position of the engines. Most of the noise in an airplane goes backwards, that's why first and business class are at the front, because naturally the noise is much lower. If specific insulation helps a bit more, that could be. But most of the reduction is not because of it.

Good research and presentation, Vanessa. Now, I don't want to brag, but I have done fairly extensive research in at least part of this area, meaning I have some expertise in this area. I'll start off by saying that I believe that binaural beats, at least at those frequencies is like the the crystal rocks you investigated. It's a bunch of gobbledygook mainly used in pseudo hypnotism, as opposed to real, guided hypnosis like telling you to relax and so on. The type of faux hypnosis has all sorts of claims, like being able to cure disease, sleep better, and manifest more money. In short it's sophistry. Part of this can be explained though simple science. Those wavelengths are so long that their direction cannot be determined by the human brain. Wavelength =speed of sound/frequency (divided by). So that means 1 wavelength=equals 343 meters per second (the speed of sound in air)/ hz. So 1hz would be 343 meters/1 or 343 meters long, for one sinusoidal wave (or cosine wave as some like to use). So let's make the other wave a 4 hz wave. That will be 343/4=85.75 meters. Well, imagine you are sitting in a room with two stereo speakers. If you played 1 or 4hz out of one speaker, you would not be able to determine which speaker it came from and you wouldn't even be able to determine if it came for in or behind you? Why? Because the wavelength is so large that one full one or cycle wouldn't be able to fit in the room unless it was a cathedra, and a very large cathedral at that. (Incomplete sentence there) See, the distance between your ears is only 30cm(10 in) if you cul it around the front of your head and nose. The left and the right ear can't tell the difference in the time of arrival at both ears because that is such small portions of either (fractions of either wavelengths, which are 343 meters or 85.75 meters. The sound is omnidirectional. Plus, we have a difficult time hearing below 20 hz. Goggle a free frequency generator and see if you can hear 10 or 5 hz. Now imagine that with yourheadphones your eardrums are even closer to the sound source. If the tones are being played real quickly in time after each other, there is no way you can the difference in them, and probably not even if they are slightly different in frequency? Now when you get up 250 hz or so, that is when you can hear the difference in arrival time. Science has known this for at least 70 and maybe over 100 years. So what is going on with these binaural beats, which you can obviously hear? They are modulating these so-called magical frequencies with much higher audible frequencies, say 100 hz or 400 hz, and this gives a little difference in each ear because the lower frequencies intermodulate, or beat, with the higher frequencies. A 400 hz tone added to a 5 hz tone will give you side frequencies of 395 hz and 405 hz plus other lesser in loudness than that. That is what binaura beats are. And people who produce them often buy programs that produce them. I have hear a couple of very imaginative, complex, and creative instances of these, which are almost like compositions and are very soothing like any good music. I believe she is a creator from the UK, and her creations sound like she is creating her own tone and beats. But the vast majority of them and binaural beats about kundalini rising, Chakras, and so on, and they tout magical benefits. I don't see how any double-blind tests can be done because the user will always know when the headphones are on and the earphones are in, and that raises the placebo effect. If people anticipate something good might be going on, they might pay better attention or relax, as you alluded to, Vanessa. However, all is not lost. Calm is an App, that provides various tones in in a manner that purports to have scientific research behind it. In the advertisement which I viewed, it demonstrated and talked about applying tones, not binaural beats to the left and then the right prefrontal lobes, it could be hemispheres (I hope my terminology is correct). Plus it goes outside the ears a little to the front. The assertion is that leisurely alternating left and right has been scientifically show to relax people. I can't really vouch for it, but it does seem to be a more scientific approach. End of Part 1 But there is more that is very real, and you mentioned it in your last video--ASMR. But it's not ASMR, but where ASMR started--right here on KZfaq. ASMR did not come from ASMR, at least as far as I know. It came from binaural sound, sometimes called 3D sound. And it started from one specific binaural sound demonstration. I'll try to pull the video up and link it, so I'll have to post and then edit. It's called Virtual Barber Shop. Okay, here is the link: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7t0h8-nxs3OenU.html This is what started ASMR. I didn't know it at the time. I was away from KZfaq for some years. Then I came back and ASMR was all over the place, and Braincraft, and some other interesting content. Binaural audio is what I have the most experience with in regards to this presentation by Vanessa. Binaural audio is where you place microphones, usually small and usually inside a dummy heads ear canals to record audio that sound incredibly spacious and lifelike. If you have ever hear an ASMR using a 3Dio microphone, that is a form of binaural audio. For me, audio using binaural audio is the most enjoyable. You can also get Dolby Headphone or DTX as apps for the pc and, I assume, Appl, and I forgot, Spatial Audio.. They have much the same effect using software. The University of Sydney (edit, oops) ,at least I believe that's the correct Australian university, has an anechoic chamber, purported to be one of the quietest places on earth, where some 3d sound research has been done. Happy listening. Sorry if the are some typos. I typed this on my tablet.
