It is said that delta waves can even simulate being in the womb. These familiar sounds are baked into the form of chants and various primordial arrangements used during ceremonies and ritual that our psyches are still responsive to. (Fun fact – Dove was also the genius that figured out how tropical cyclones or more familiarly why our toilets flush counter clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere).ĭove’s discovery of binaural sound techniques resurfaced from obscurity due to Gerald Oster’s initiating further research in the 1970’ to explore neurological and cognitive behaviour with the intent of improving the quality of life and how it could aid in medical diagnostics – such as finding early stage indicators for Parkinson’s disease.Īs a further homage, many ancient civilizations including the Ancient Greeks, Mayans, Native Americans to name just a few were already well aware of the benefits of this natural sound technology.
Heinrich Wilhelm Dove was a prolific physicist and meteorologist who identified this technique while experimenting with tuning forks on his subjects. What was once a novelty and now referred to as “binaural beats” being streamed by millions of insomniacs desperate for some shut eye or needing to simply take the edge off was revealed by a thankfully curious and good natured Prussian fellow in 1839.
*This of course can vary dramatically based on lifestyle, stage of life and so on. Taking a sound bath in one of Calm Radio’s recommended sleep music channels through your headphones or simply from the mobile speaker placed on your bedside (screen light off or facedown for best results) can have a positive effect in increasing your melatonin output naturally. This is why anything but warmly coloured dim light might yank your “awake” hormones such as DHEA and cortisol into action, making you think about errands you need to run the next day, such as picking up groceries and alleged sleep aids, which in some cases for the latter, make it worse. Melatonin rises dramatically in the evening, starting around the time it begins getting dark outside. These are the slowest, highest amplitude waves that are associated with healing and regeneration, and have shown to have effects on the production of the hormone melatonin, which is the key ingredient in your deep snooze tonic. “Delta” waves are part of the family magic “notes” or frequencies layered in so many of our channels designed for sleep and binaural beats. (Just ask someone who woke up from yet another dream about invisible flamingos driving backwards in pink Ferraris. Our “awake” mind operates on very different frequencies than our “sleeping” state. Another 3D example of frequency entrainment is the famous scene of a glass shattering when the singer hits that otherworldly note. Think of how your hair raises when you hear the crescendo of your favourite opera.
Frequency stimulation can trigger powerful effects on the mind. Ultimately Binaural beats are about the combination of different frequencies resulting in a tone that entrains the brain. Complex math formulas would replace musical notation on a score sheet if you were trying to understand these auditory illusions in parts.
