Brain Tuners (Set of 6 Tuning Forks) are produced on the basis of scientific studies of brain waves. EEG (Electroencephalography) technology is used to construct tuning forks corresponding to various states of consciousness, namely Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
| Brain Wave | Usually Associated With |
|---|---|
| Beta Waves | Active, busy or anxious thinking, active concentration, arousal, and cognition |
| Alpha Waves | Relaxation while awake, pre-sleep and pre-wake drowsiness |
| Theta Waves | Dreams, deep meditation, REM sleep |
| Delta Waves | Deep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness |
| Gamma Waves | State of heightened awareness, learning, and higher mental activity |
The Brain Tuners are typically stroked together, with one tuning fork used near each ear. The two parts of the brain combine the two sounds to create a third, different sound known as a binaural beat.
For a binaural beat to occur, the difference between the two frequencies must be small. If the difference is too large, the two tones are heard separately and no beat is perceived.
When the Fundamental Brain Tuner is sounded together with any one of the five Brain Tuning Forks, the difference between the two frequencies creates a binaural beat that can be perceived as a rhythmic pulsation.
Binaural beats are reported to influence the brain in subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves. They have been used to explore relaxation, focus, attention, and various states of consciousness.
Binaural beat stimulation has been used fairly extensively to induce a variety of mental and consciousness states. Research and experiential use have explored its effects on relaxation, focus, attention, and altered states of awareness.
