I know that the topic of music that helps relaxation and music therapy has been discussed in several topics here.
But what about binaural beats? Have you guys heard about this trend? It seems to be gaining in popularity, especially with regards to things like stress relief.
For those who haven't heard about this yet, binaural beats are basically a method where a sound is introduced to the human ear through headphones (strereo) and each side receives a different frequency. It's been used for a while now to research hearing, but lately, it's been discovered that this technology can also be used to influence the brain in various ways, including anxiety relief, induction of certain feelings, and other effects.
There's a very neat binaural beat example on Youtube. Although it's not the relaxation kind, it illustrates one of the things that binaural beats can do - audio realism. Just look up "virtual barber shop" on Youtube and you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, has anyone tried bunaural beats for stress relief or anything else? I'd be very curious to know if it helped you, or what you experienced.
