So you may just now be getting into the brainwave entrainment scene and are still not sure what all of the hype is about. You may be wondering what the differences are between binaural, isochronic and monaural mp3′s? And, is one kind better than the other?
There are many different forms of brainwave entrainment. The ones I will focus on here are the most popular and easiest to find and download to start enjoying today. These include binaural beats, isochronic tones, and monaural beats. Now, whether if you are new to brain entrainment or not, I suggest trying out as many as you can to get a good feel for what works best for you. I am going to describe the differences between each and hopefully point you in the right direction so you don’t have to waste any of your hard earned money on a bwe recording that does not suit you.
Bineural Beats
Binaural beats are probably the most common form of brainwave entrainment out there today, mostly because they have been around for a while and tested to great extent. Binaural beats were discovered 1839 but weren’t really fully researched and developed until 1973 by Gerald Oster. Once he wrote the book “Auditory Beats in the Brain,” binaural beats really took off and became a neurological phenomenon.Binaural beats are a tried and trusted way of entraining the brain for anyone to enjoy. They are the cheapest form of brain entrainment and extremely accessible. All you need is a computer or mp3 payer, a few bucks to download them, and some stereo headphones.
So what are binaural beats?
Well, basically they are a recording of two different pulsating electronic tones played at different hertz through each ear. Your brain processes the the two tones and syncs up to the difference.
For example: a pulsating tone of 300 herts will be played onto one ear, while a tone at 310 is played into the other ear. Your brain will recognize the difference between the two and ‘entrain’ to the 10 herts difference.
Because there are two different frequencies being sent to each ear, it is extremely important that you listen to these with stereo headphones. It’s not important that they be nice or expensive headphones. I use the regular apple headphones that came with my iphone, but you can read more about that in (how to use brain entrainment products).
Binaural beats are great and there are a lot of them out there to choose from, but if you are like my girlfriend, they may be a little hard to listen to and give you a headache or just an uneasy feeling. Remember, this is supposed to be a relaxing and meditative experience, so if binaural beats are making you uncomfortable, stop listening to them and try something else!

PROS+ :
CONS-
- easy to find
- relatively cheap
- a very wide variety of selection
- proven to work, time tested
CONS-
- can be hard to listen to at first
- require stereo headphones
Monaural Beats
Monaural beats are similar to binaural beats except that the two different tones are combined digitally or naturally on the recording. The two different tones are played in both ears if you are listening with headphones. This way, the brain does not have to do the work to differentiate between two different pulsating tones. The two tones create an interference pattern that generates the frequency of entrainment outside of your head.This is great because you as a listener do not have to use head phones to get the full effect. You can play the mp3 over a speaker so you don’t have to worry about those pesky headphones jamming into your ear when roll over if you fall asleep listening. It’s also great because your whole body can pick up on these vibrations instead of just feeling the effect though the aural senses. This way, you have the potential of your whole body and all of your senses coming into contact with these positive vibrations, just make sure that you are in a place free of outside noises or distractions.
However, because the two tones are combined before they hit your ear, the results may not be quite as strong. Part of the process that makes binaural beats so great is that it is giving the brain a little bit of a work out to differentiate the difference between the two frequencies on either side of the brain.
Monaural beats are also a little harsher on the ears which is why you will often hear a lot of extra music or background noises and effects playing over top of them. This can be effective at making them easier to listen to but not as effective as far as results are concerned.
Probably the biggest drawback to monaural beats is that they cannot be created to entrain to frequencies lower than 4 herts. This means that you the low delta range is not achievable with monaural beats. Delta is associated with deep sleep and lucid dreaming.
PROS+
- no headphones required
- some consider them to be easier on the ear
CONS-
- can’t go lower than 4Hz
- not as effective for some
- may be harsh on some ears
Isochronic Tones
Isochronic tones are a little bit newer and there are a lot of people that swear by them. What makes isochronic tones different is that they are simply single separate pulses of a single tone, similar to a metronome or drum beat. This creates a greater contrast between sound and silence which can have a greater effect on the brain. The sound is emitted at regular intervals exciting the thalamus and entraining your brain waves to the pattern being played.Isochronic tones are very similar to monaural tones in the effect and use categories. You can listen to them without headphones, but they can not be generated for any waves lower than 4 herts. Some people, like myself say that isochronic tones are easier on the ear. Other people swear that it gives them a headache and binaural beats don’t.
What makes isochronic tones better to some people is the accuracy of the rhythmic pattern and how it speeds up. The fact that you are only hearing one tone in both ears can make it very effective and stimulating for your thalamus, the center of your brain right above your brain stem.
PROS +
- very effective for some people
- almost as much of a variety as binaural beats
- can use without headphones
- easier on some people’s ears
CONS -
- can’t be any lower than 4hz
- harsher on the ears to some
SO WHICH IS REALLY BETTER?
What it all really comes down to when trying to decide on what entrainment to use, it really comes down to personal preference. Every person is different and experiences things in a different way.
I personally love isochronic tones better. They have more profound effects on me. They geberally work better for most people because they require less work from the brain. But it really is up to you to try a few out and see what works best for you!

You may notice helicopter, or "washing" type noises moving around in your head. These sounds are actually created inside your head, and are not coming directly out of either channel from the sound board. It is this noise that is doing the work of helping your brainwaves get synchronized to the patterns you have chosen. When two different (but similar in frequency ranges) brainwave files are mixed together, some have noticed a jet airplane noise moving slowly from left to right in the background. Some people don't hear these artifacts at all, while others hear them extremely well.
Another side effect is that of a wandering mind. When I use frequencies under 8hz, I find myself thinking of the strangest things. You may find that you are not thinking of anything in particular, and your thoughts become very interesting. The feeling is also "warm" and "happy" for some people. Others start recalling their favorite memories as a child, even some they thought they had forgotten forever!
After a session of 15 minutes or more, you may feel quite refreshed, light, airy, clear-headed, etc. I always find myself feeling very good afterwards. Some claim that doing this for 30 minutes a day can result in subtle but great changes in your life. ESP experiences increase, and you may be able to reach new levels of awareness in your everyday life.
Listening - You must use stereo headphones preferably ones that cover the entire ear. Volume should be loud enough to block external noise. Generally it will take about 5 minutes for brain waves to synchronize with the binaural beat. The length of time it takes to synchronize will decrease with continued use.
Most people find it best to just blank their mind not giving attention to any particular thing. Many use the technique of imagining a blank blackboard filling their entire vision and focus on this in order to eliminate distracting everyday thoughts.
Another technique is to start at your toes and tighten an relax each muscle group working up to the head.
Soon thoughts and images of a different type will begin to emerge. Quite often as you hover between your normal consciousness and an altered state certain thoughts and concepts will seem to be make complete sense one moment and then be beyond the grasp of your comprehension the next. This is where with practice you can become skilled at riding the fence between super and normal consciousness.
Results - Results will very between users. The effect is very subtle at first, the more dramatic effects sometimes do not occur until the 5th or 6th session. Results also depend on your frame of mind, time of day and your ability to relax and let go. Certain Nootropics, herbs, and cognitive enhancing nutrients can improve results. Conventional meditation techniques can also enhance your experience and themselves be enhanced when performed while listening to the tapes.
Cautions & Warnings - After using the tapes give your self time to return to your normal state of alertness before performing tasks that require your full attention. Do not use tapes while driving or operating machinery. Do not use the tapes if you are undergoing psychiatric treatment or have epilepsy. Do not use Dolby noise reduction, filters or enhanced bass as this will diminish the effectiveness of the tapes. Using copies of the original tape will also result in a reduction of the binaural beat effect.
Environment - Listen to the tapes in a dimly lit room or area, where there will be no interruptions such as the telephone. You can be lying down on your back or seated in a comfortable chair that will support your head and neck. Loosen any tight clothing, remove shoes, glasses, contact lenses etc. The idea is to eliminate as much bodily sensation as possible to avoid distraction. If your goal is lucid dreaming or visualization you should listen to the tapes when your not extremely tired or you will probably just fall asleep.

Our Brain is made up of billions of brain cells, the neurons, theses ones use eletricity to communicate with each other. This combination of millions of neurons activiti gerate a enormous amoute of eletrical activity in the brain, that can be dectect and measured in an EEG( electroencephalogram).
Using Hertz to measured brain waves , the reseraches divide those ones in four diferents states :
- Delta waves (below 4 hz) occur during sleep
- Theta waves (4-7 hz) are associated with sleep, deep relaxation (like hypnotic relaxation), and visualization- Alpha waves (8-13 hz) occur when we are relaxed and calm ( Meditate)
- Beta waves (13-38 hz) occur when we are actively thinking, problem-solving, etc.
In general, we are accostumed to using the beta brain rythm. When we diminish the brain rythm to alpha, we put ourselves in the ideal condition to learn new information, keep fact, data, perform elaborate tasks, learn languages, analyse complex situations. Meditation, relaxation exercises, and activities that enable the sense of calm, also enable this alpha state. According to neuroscientists, analysing electroencephalograms of people submmited to tests in order to research the effect of decreasing the brain rythm, the attentive relaxation or the deep relaxation, produce signficant increases in the levels of beta-endorphin, noroepinephrine and dopamine, linked to feelings of enlarged mental clarity and formation of rememberances, and that this effect lasts for hours and even days.
