download audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge...
Alpha 13-7Hz, Theta 7-4Hz, Delta 4Hz and less

So if we can get a good library of binaural pulses others can remix by adding ambient noise, music, etc.

Please tag with Brainwave state, Frequency or frequency range, and maybe the positive benefit(s) it can induce. For example:

#alpha, #8-12Hz, #relaxed, #learning #alert, #creative, #problemsolving, #motivation, #inspiration

Here’s some samples already with Creative Commons licenses: http://archive.org/details/...

This is incredible information Jeris. Thank you for sharing!

I just had another idea….spoken word….call for positive affirmations, guided meditation, neuro-linguistic programming, etc. Now, if I can just get around to creating content instead of talking about what content to create :)

FLAC is a lossless format whereas MP3 is compressed so I’d imagine FLACs are much better for binaurals — keeping the tones pure instead of slightly raised in the higher frequencies due to compression.

Awesome, thanks! You can compress full-quality aiff or WAV files into FLAC and upload them to ccM. I believe that’s currently the most compressed format you can use for full quality uploads.

You can’t make mono binaural because it’s the difference between the tones that produces the binaural pulse.
It’s actually the shape of the head, sound travels to each ear and if they are just slightly different the brain perceives it as one sound…the difference, which doesn’t really exist. And it’s this imaginary tone that entrains to the brainwaves. I always thought that was fascinating.

So, it’s possible it would work with speakers …but headphones work much better. Conversely, when making the tones in audacity, make sure you use mono for each tone and pan them hard left and right…stereo won’t work
:)

I am really excited about this application of music. I have friends who operate a sleep center. I hope to meet with their board certified sleep specialist to learn more about music as a therapeutic modality for sleep disorders.

Good info, thanks. I wonder if E.T.s hear them differently, their heads being different shape and all… ;-)

Ha! Well, the shape of a dolphin’s head allows them to focus sound like a laser…similar to how a lens can focus light and start a fire. Dolphins use this ability to “x-ray” their food, examine others, and even kill sharks when they are in danger. They can use it to see illness in humans too…talk about sound therapy. I’m sure E.T.s would have binaural heads in most cases too…I always thought since there was self-similarity between galaxies, there would likely be self-similarity between life among them. The spiral of our DNA, the geometric ratios in the body, in music, in color…it’s all a continuous spectrum between the macro and micro. Still, even on our own little rock…there are lifeforms that dispose of their heads and nervous system altogether once they reproduce, then continue life as more of a seaweed at the bottom of the ocean…so who knows…lol

Awesome!
