Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are an auditory phenomenon that occurs when two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear. The brain perceives a third frequency, which is the difference between the two. This perceived frequency can influence brainwave patterns, potentially promoting relaxation, focus, or sleep. For example, if one ear hears a sound at 300 Hz and the other at 310 Hz, the brain detects a beat at 10 Hz. While some people find binaural beats helpful for meditation or stress relief, scientific evidence on their effectiveness is varied. It's an intriguing intersection of sound and neuroscience.
