Chapter One

What are Binaural Beats?
Binaural beats are growing in popularity each year as the research and technology used in this field
of study advances. New discoveries on how they can be used are constantly being made. This book serves
as a crash course to help you discover the science behind binaural beats. It also teaches you how to create
high-quality binaural tones whenever you want and at whatever quality you desire. It will also provide tips
on how to use them effectively such as: how long you should listen, which frequency you should listen to,
what effects the different frequencies have on your brain, etc. I will give you the tools and knowledge that
will empower you to start creating your very own beats today. Once you have read the book and are ready
to move forward, I will give you access to a network of people dedicated to research and creating high-
quality binaural beats to enhance people's life.

In a nutshell, binaural beats consist of two sine waves made of slightly different frequencies to
form a desired frequency difference. The difference in the two tones is then used to alter the type of brain
activity a person experiences. The change to the brain's electrical patterns can then be used to enhance many
aspects of a person's physiological and physical state. Below is an example of what a binaural difference
will look like when creating your beats.

Image (1.1)
In image 1.1 I generated two separate sine waves. The top one has a frequency of 10 HZ and the
bottom 12 HZ. Each tone is played in a separate ear using a stereo headset or a similar audio device. The
user hears a tone with a frequency difference of 2 which is commonly used for nerve regeneration. There
are many of these differences that we know about and have uses for. I will give you the full list with uses in
a later chapter.

Types of Binaural Beats
There are five main electrical patterns our brain experiences throughout the day. At any given time
our brain has a dominant pattern. This can alter a person's mood, and their life can become unbalanced.
Once you determine which electrical pattern is dominating your brain, you can use the required binaural
tone to calm your thought process. Think about when you are having a restless night. Your Beta brain
waves may be the dominant pattern at that time. The best binaural beat session for this situation would be a
shift from Alpha to Delta. This shifts your brain from a highly active state to a low-level state. In a few
cases, it may help for you to play a half hour of Beta waves before the sleep session. What does all of this
mean exactly? I will list the five types of brainwave activity, and binaural beat ranges to help you better
understand the terminology.
❖ The types of brain waves are listed from highest to lowest Gamma Range: 40 Hz - 100 Hz
Gamma brain waves are the highest energy levels recorded in the human brain. They coincide with our
brains mental processing speed, memory retention, and sensory input. This range is beneficial for
meditation and high-level thinking. Some people experience a euphoric effect because of the heightened
senses. Restlessness is another product of high gamma activity.

Beta Range: 12 Hz - 40 Hz
The beta brain waves are most prominent when a person is awake throughout the day. They are closely tied
to thinking and logical problem solving. Students normally achieve higher grades when they have a high -
average level of beta activity in their brain during class. Children who fall behind in school usually exhibit
lower frequencies of energy during class. Caffeine and other stimulants such as adrenaline will naturally
raise the brains Beta energy level.

Alpha
Range: 8 Hz - 12 Hz
Alpha brain waves are commonly known as the middle pattern. Think of this energy level as a door from
consciousness to your subconsciousness. It is a great energy level to induce when you want to fall asleep or
begin meditating. If you and to move from a high energy level to a low energy level and vice versa you
should sync your brain with Alpha waves beforehand for a smooth transition. Binaural beats that are in the
Alpha range have relaxing effects. They help with stress management. Think of this range as the balancing
range. Alpha waves can be used as natural alternatives to drugs like marijuana, antidepressants, alcohol, etc.

Theta Range: 4 Hz - 8 Hz
It only gets deeper into the mind from here. The Theta range is most commonly used to induce sleep and
enhance daydreaming sessions. This is a very emotional state of the human brain. Too much Theta wave
can be dangerous and should only be used in moderation. They can be considered a natural depressant.
They have a good side, though. Theta waves unleash your deepest thoughts and creative abilities. You can
discover what it means to feel like a human at this level. Theta waves are most present in sleep and should
mainly be induced during sleep. Our dreams latch on to the Theta range; that is why they are so random, or
creative.

Delta Range: 0 Hz - 4 Hz
Finally, the slowest brain waves recorded in humans. As technology progresses, we may find higher and
lower frequencies than are presented in this book. I will be sure you have access to my educational
community so you can stay on top of the latest trends towards the end of this book. The Delta range is most
commonly found in babies and young children. As we grow older and more mature, our brain waves shift
from the Delta range to the more conscious Theta range during sleep. Binaural beats that harness Delta
waves will help you feel rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. Low-level bodily functions such as a
person's heart beat, digestive tract, and the immune system use the Delta range to function. Brain injuries
that cause a person to have a hard time staying awake usually present higher levels of Delta waves. The
Delta range may be a cause of “Brain Farts.”

How Binaural Beats are formulated In the beginning, of this chapter, we went over the basic
building blocks of binaural beats. I will skim over the basics once more and get into why it works
mathematically. To create these tones, you will need to at least understand the basic math of creating them.

The Basics As we know already, binaural beats are two tones made up of different frequencies
played in separate ears to give the desired effect. How exactly are they created mathematically how can you
figure out what tone you want to use?

In this example let's use a fictional character named Fred. He is having trouble sleeping at night, and we
need to help him solve this restless problem. Using our knowledge of the different electrical patterns in the
brain, we can conclude that Fred’s Beta patterns are dominant when he is falling asleep. Most people would
have subconsciously trained their brain to be in an Alpha state before bed but sometimes our sleeping
patterns are messed up, and we become a Fred.

Think about the properties of sound for a second. If you listen to a loud subwoofer at 10 Hz, you will feel
the air moving around you. If you listen to a loudspeaker at 1000 Hz, you will feel more of a vibration
effect. The Hz of the two tones that make up a binaural beat does not matter; they can be anything. What
does matter is the number difference between the two tones. For example, Fred enjoys deeper sounds when
going to sleep so we will insert a tone of 60 Hz into a right ear. We need the difference of the two tones to
be 90 Hz, so we will insert a tone of 150 into his left ear. Right ear (150) - Left Ear (60) is equal to a
difference of 90 Hz. That difference is what the brain will sync to. I have created an equation for you to
follow when creating your beats below.
All of the followings are the same equation in different formats: ●
With a resulting tone of
●

● ΔR = |t1−t2|

❖ If you get a negative number, just get rid of the negative sign, and you will have the tone

difference. For example, -10 would equal to 10. This is also known as getting the absolute value of
the number.
Chapter Two

How can you benefit?
There are three main reasons someone would use binaural beats. I will go over the details
throughout this chapter. Once we are finished with that, we will move on to the best usage practices and
eventually creating our own. Let’s get started!
