The Role of Binaural Beats in Brain Health: An Inside Look with BrainTap
Binaural beats are a fascinating auditory illusion that occurs when two slightly different frequency tones are played in each ear through headphones. The brain perceives a third tone, known as a binaural beat, which is the difference between the two frequencies. For example, if one ear hears a 300 Hz tone and the other hears a 310 Hz tone, the brain perceives a binaural beat of 10 Hz. This unique phenomenon can influence brainwave activity, making it a popular tool for meditation, relaxation, and cognitive enhancement.
