Choices of binaural beats in PHOTOSONIX Systems
dSb (dual monaural binaural beats)
This tone allows you to create a
different brainwave frequency in each ear. Sound heard in the left ear is
processed by the right side of the brain, and sound heard in the right ear
stimulates the left side of the brain.
The left side of the brain is responsible for analytical thinking, math, and
logic; whereas the right side deals with abstraction, art, and creativity.
Using dual monaural beats, you can adjust the activity in each side of the
brain, or hemisphere, to either be more logical, or creative.
If you want to be more analytical, then you would adjust the beat frequen-
cies in the right ear so that they are faster than the frequency in the left ear.
To be more creative, you then want the frequency in the left ear to be
faster than the right ear. Faster beat frequencies would be in the alpha and
beta ranges, above 8 Hertz. Slower frequencies would be in the theta and
delta brainwave states, below 7 Hertz.
The use of dual monaural beats is quite new to the field of light and sound,
therefore, there is not a lot of documentation on exactly how its effects
really work. There also is not an exact science as to what each side of the
brain really does. While the right brain pertains to creativity, such as
processing music, many trained musicians use the left brain when playing
music. This highlights the fact that the brain is much more complex than
any model can define, and that you will need to experiment in order to
find out what actually works for you.
