Sounds like hype: there's scant evidence the 'binaural beats' illusion relaxes your brain This third frequency is thought to produce a range of effects, including relaxation and attentiveness.Īcademic research has focused on two main uses for binaural beats:Ģ) as a substitute for or complement to psychoactive drug use (drugs that affect the nervous system and alter perception, mood, cognition or behaviour). These two tones are then processed within our brains to sound like a third frequency. The perceptual auditory illusion created by binaural beats occurs when two pure tones of slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear.
