Inducing Altered States of Consciousness with Binaural Beat Technology
@inproceedings{Atwater1997InducingAS, title={Inducing Altered States of Consciousness with Binaural Beat Technology}, author={F. Holmes Atwater}, year={1997} }
Altering consciousness to provide a wide range of beneficial effects (stress- reducing relaxation, improved sleep, intuitive, creative, meditative, healing, and expanded-learning states, etc.) necessarily involves either changing levels of arousal or cognitive content or both. The extended reticular-thalamic activating system model suggests a neural mechanism responsible for regulating generalized levels of arousal (basic rest-activity cycle, sleep cycles, ultradian rhythms, etc.) as well as…

The feasibility and efficacy of using a noninvasive, patient-controlled method, binaural-beat auditory stimulation to improve self-esteem, quality of life, and function of daily living for persons suffering from old TB is assessed.
Sensory Deprivation as an Experimental Model of Psychosis
- Psychology, Medicine
- 2017
Overall, sensory deprivation was found to have the potential to contribute significantly to the understanding of psychosis, and could be utilised effectively on a stand-alone basis, or as an adjunct to existing animal and drug models.
A First Step Towards Binaural Beat Classification Using Multiple EEG Devices
- Computer Science
- 2014
This study investigates if there is a measurable impact on the EEG activity for different frequency bands using a low budget, a mid-price ranged and a medical EEG device, and shows that it is possible to classify the currently played binaural beats frequency rather accurate with appropriate hardware.
Physiological and Content Considerations for a Second Low Frequency Channel for Bass Management, Subwoofers, and LFE

By convention, frequencies below 90Hz produce no interaural cues useful for spatial sound or localization. Yet some claim they are able to hear a difference between a single subwoofer channel…

1) Oster’s idea was to use the perception of binaural beats as a diagnostic tool because some people are unable to perceive and respond to them, which seems to follow in line with the research done by David Seiver, Transparent Corp and others in regards to monaural and isochronic tones producing stronger entrainment.

Human auditory frequency-following responses to a missing fundamental.

Results support the concept that perception of the missing fundamental is based on periodic neural activity and narrow-band masking noise centered at 365 hertz attenuated the responses to the pure tone but not to the complex tone.
