Binaural beats Binaural beats To experience the binaural beats perception, it is best to listen to this file with headphones on moderate to weak volume – the sound should be easily heard, but not loud. Note that the sound appears to pulsate. Now remove one earphone. The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo headphones. Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves[3][8][9] and provide other health benefits such as control over pain.[10][11] Acoustical background[edit] Interaural time differences (ITD) of binaural beats For sound localization, the human auditory system analyses interaural time differences between both ears inside small frequency ranges, called critical bands.

Mind Reading: Jon Kabat-Zinn Talks About Bringing Mindfulness Meditation to Medicine Jon Kabat-Zinn, an MIT-trained molecular biologist, began meditating in 1966, when the practice was primarily the province of hippies and gurus, not scientists. Now, thanks in large part to his efforts, it has become mainstream medicine. Dozens of studies have since shown the benefits of what he termed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in treating cardiovascular disease, depression, addictions, chronic pain and many other conditions. Kabat-Zinn has authored a new book, Mindfulness for Beginners that aims to introduce meditation to first-timers. Why did you first get involved with meditation? The one word answer would be karma. This is a path that I’ve been walking now for over 45 years. I was first exposed formally to it at MIT because of Huston Smith, a professor of philosophy and religion there. How did you work to bring meditation into medicine? I started the Stress Reduction Clinic in 1979. MORE: Explaining Why Meditators May Live Longer What is mindfulness?

Episode 109 :: José Angel Lopez :: Atheist Meditation Community José Angel Lopez talks with us about Atheist Meditation on FaceBook. Many of us either did not grow up with the practices of a religious tradition, or if we did, we’ve since moved away from them. We wear the scarlet letter for what is often viewed as a dirty word in our society, Atheist. Sometimes we wear that letter proudly, and other times our stance is more private. We see groups of atheists forming, both online and face-to-face. Sometimes, though, we bring with us the habits of dogma from which we’re escaping. José Angel Lopez grew up in Switzerland, and has been interested in Buddhism and meditation since his 30′s, finding it in accorance with his atheist approach. So, sit back, relax, and have a nice Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl.
