This is a question that has come up numerous times in brainwave entrainment and guided meditation circles, and having just returned from a scan for my wife, who is nearly 7 months pregnant, I thought it worth penning a post to cover this matter and provide my thoughts and experiences.
Silent subliminals are non-audible brain entrainment recordings. Unlike binaural beats, the frequencies are not layered with music or ambient sounds of any kind. This makes them inaudible to the human ear. A subliminal track is usually made up of voice recordings transposed into high-level frequencies. These frequencies penetrate the brain without your awareness.
If you plan to listen to binaural beats on a regular basis, you might want to consider investing in some quality headphones.
Record numbers of adults and children are being diagnosed with ADHD, a condition typically characterized inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity. ADHD has become the most common psycho-social disorder in children, affecting almost 4.5 million children.
Having read our ‘How it Works’ page, you’ve probably got a good idea of how binaural beats work, and tested the science for yourself using the sample provided and a pair of headphones. If you’re anything like us here in the ‘BBM lab’ (as we like to call it) you are probably itching to find out more on the history of binaural beats and the scientific evidence that led to the creation of today’s brain entrainment movement.
The short answer is no. Binaural beats are not dangerous for your health. There is no research that shows listening to this type of music affects your health in any way. The effect that is created in the brain as a result of listening to binaural beats occurs naturally, and is considered a type of auditory illusion, a false perception of a sound. Below we’ll discuss how this works and exactly what happens inside your brain when listening to these frequencies.
