This is the Nexus Binaural beats (BB) site for a comprehensive overview over various BB resources.
Brain waves
| Frequency range | Name | Usually associated with: |
|---|---|---|
| > 40 Hz | Gamma waves | Higher mental activity, including perception, problem solving, fear, and consciousness |
| 13–39 Hz | Beta waves | Active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration, arousal, cognition, and or paranoia |
| 7–13 Hz | Alpha waves | Relaxation (while awake), pre-sleep and pre-wake drowsiness, REM sleep, Dreams |
| 8–12 Hz | Mu waves | Mu rhythm, Sensorimotor rhythm |
| 4–7 Hz | Theta waves | Deep meditation/relaxation, NREM sleep |
| < 4 Hz | Delta waves | Deep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness |

BBs and pink noise
"Masking binaural beats with pink sound does not decrease their effectiveness. Note: Pink sound is mixed with Hemi-Sync's binaural beats to provide a sensory integration link with out-of-body experiences. Research has shown that noise does not obscure the initial perception of binaural beats and it provides a ganzfeld environment conducive to altering states of consciousness."

Monroe's Focus freqs
- Focus 24 50[0.75], 400[3.9], 503[4.0], 600[4.0], 750[4.0], 900[4.0]
- Focus 25 503[4.0], 600[4.0], 750[4.0], 900[4.0]
- Focus 26 400[3.9], 503[4.2], 600[4.0], 750[4.0], 900[4.0]
- Focus 27 Same as Focus 26
Example: The notation 503[4.2] should be understood to represent a beat frequency of 4.2 Hz between two carriers equally separated from 503 Hz (i.e., 500.9 and 505.1 Hz).
Although the frequencies were measured, the relative amplitudes of the tones were not, so the results will not be completely identical to those from the Monroe Institute tapes.
