There's a phenomenon of human hearing known as binaural beats. It occurs when two pure tones of different frequencies are ...

Sleeping in a laboratory, the study measured the electroencephalography signals (EEG) of the subjects ... theta and alpha frequency bands,” in the group who had consumed caffeine. These are the brain ...

Chronic nerve pain affects millions globally. The long-standing challenge of finding effective, drug-free treatments may now have a solution. Researchers from the University of New South Wales have ...

A trial of an interactive game that trains people to alter their brain waves has shown promise as a treatment for nerve pain -- offering hope for a new generation of drug-free treatments.

A trial of an interactive game that trains people to alter their brain waves has shown promise as a treatment for nerve pain – offering hope for a new generation of drug-free treatments.

The researchers analyzed the signals collected from each subject, which included delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma EEG band powers.

Research with electroencephalography (EEG) shows that caffeine creates increases beta brainwave activity but also decreases alpha brainwave activity.

"Strikingly, we also revealed that melodic expectations selectively enhanced EEG reconstruction accuracy in the beta band for musicians, and in the alpha band (8–12 Hz) for non-musicians ...

There was considerable beta band amplitude increase, including significant increase in beta2 amplitude across all cortical brain areas Most of the treatment-related EEG changes were rapid ...

These new brain-tracking headphones claim to boost productivity and help you focus. They also raise questions about data privacy.

In other words, the idea is that listening to binaural beats can trigger or elicit certain brain states, such as focus or a reduction in pain when listened to at certain frequencies.
