Binaural Beat Technology

A phenomenon when two nearly similar frequencies (between 30-1000 hertz \[Hz\]) are presented to each ear and the brain detects the difference between the two sounds. These two sounds are processed in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere of the brain. This integration of brain hemispheres produces a frequency that in turn affects the reticular activating system which alters the electrical potentials of the thalamus and cerebral cortex changing brainwave frequency.
