Common questions

Do I need headphones for binaural beats?

Yes. Binaural beats play a slightly different tone in each ear, so you need stereo headphones for them to work as intended.

What is the difference between alpha and theta waves?

Alpha (about 8 to 12 Hz) is traditionally linked with relaxed alertness, and theta (about 4 to 8 Hz) with deep relaxation and drowsiness. Results vary from person to person.
