Package details
Gnaural is a multi-platform programmable binaural-beat generator,
implementing the principles described in the October 1973 Scientific
American article "Auditory Beats in the Brain" (Gerald Oster).
There has been considerable research done on the subject since that
publication, and Gnaural's Windows-based predecessor, WinAural, has
been used as the audio stimulus in at least one published study,
"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 finding of Oster's article: brain activity can be entrained
to the auditory beat frequencies created when each ear is presented
simultaneously with tones of slightly different frequency. My interest
has been exploring how this effect (known as "frequency following response"
or "brainwave entrainment") can be used to explore mental states, ranging
from profoundly meditative to highly alert.
