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

Programs

  • SBaGen free shell based BB generator for Win, OSX & Linux
  • Gnaural free GUI based BB generator for Win, OSX & Linux
  • Gnaural for Android free GUI based BB generator for Android

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).

E.g. a Focus 26 beat has 5 carrier frequencies (400-900 Hz) which are played simultaneously at different db levels (n.a.) and a theta/delta BB frequency ranging from 4.2-3.9 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.
