Research conclusions on binaural beats
- The authors played binaural or monaural (normal) beats to 16 participants, and recorded their brain activity with EEG.
- They found both beats can entrain the brain to their particular frequency, but participants described no significant effect on their mood changes.
- However, binaural beats can generate "cross-frequency connectivity," where the brain coordinates its activity across different types of brain waves.
- It's then possible that binaural beats can be beneficial to some types of cognition, including memory recall.
- An analysis of 35 studies demonstrated a modest effect on attention, memory, anxiety, and pain perception. However, these were not tested in the current study.
