Description : programmable binaural-beat audio generator
Gnaural is a programmable “binaural beat generator”, based on the
principle first described in October 1973 Scientific American,
Gerald Oster, Auditory Beats in the Brain.
There has been considerable research done on this principle since
the Oster publication. Gnaural's predecessor, WinAural, has even
been used as the audio stimulus in a study published in the
proceedings of Biomedical Engineering 2004, "The Induced Rhythmic
Oscillations of Neural Activity in the Human Brain", D. Cvetkovic,
D. Djuwari, I. Cosic (Australia), From Proceeding (417) Biomedical
Engineering – 2004.
The central idea of the Binaural Beat principle is that brain
activity can be entrained to the auditory beat frequencies created
when each ear is presented simultaneously with tones of
slightly-differing frequency. It has been proposed that entrainment
can be used to target specific mental states, ranging from restful
and meditative to highly alert.
Gnaural can output directly to your computer's soundsystem, or to an
audio file (WAV format). Stereo headphones are required to maintain
the stereo separation of the tones needed for your auditory system
to create the binaural beats.
