Binaural beats are perceived sounds; in other words, they are unreal, except to your brain. How do they function if they are not real, then? It triggers the brain responses at an irresistible level, and can help prepare your brain to do anything that it might otherwise find hard to complete on its own.

The binaural beats are scientifically created to stir up a desired response, at a frequency that normal humans cannot hear. The brain makes up the binaural beat from the tones that are supplied, based on different sound hertz that is detected by your left and right ear, allowing the brain to turn the difference in hertz into a beat. This beat can have a calming effect on the brain, or promote alertness, depending on the actual difference.

Binaural beats were first discovered in 1839 by an Associate Professor, at the University of Berlin, who accidentally found out that two similar sounds that are slightly different in frequency cause a pulsation or beat type effect within the brain when given separately to each of our ears. However, it was Dr Gerald Oster who discovered in 1973 the benefits of the binaural beat on the mind and body.
