Why binaural not acting at all?
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 0:42
I found some interesting information about what binaural beats are very weak and for this reason have little effect. At the same time, monaurally and isochronic tones are much stronger. Maybe it makes sense to go all the same isochronous rhythms?
Verbatim:
Almost every one of the brainwave entrainment product, at the point of release of QMP, uses a brainwave pattern called simulation - Binaural.
Dr. Gerald Oster, is generally recognized as the man to bring binaurals to popularity.
In a 1973 issue of Scientific American, Dr. Gerald Oster examined how combining 2 pure tones resulted in a rhythmic beat which he called Binaural and Monaural Beats. In comparing Binaural beats against Monaural beats, Oster noted that Monaural beats were shown to elicit extremely strong cortical responses, which is the electrical activity responsible for entrainment.
While Oster concluded that Binaural Beats produced very little neural response (because the depth of a Binaural Beat is only 3db or 1/10 the volume of a whisper), they could be useful in diagnosing certain neurological disorders.
Unfortunately the guys with all the money are binaural merchants, that's why almost all the products you can find use binaural.
Monaural and isochronic (even more powerful) tones, are much more effective than binaurals at encouraging the "frequency following response" that is responsible for entrainment.
