Research supports the theory that different frequencies presented to each ear through stereo headphones... create a difference tone (or binaural beat) as the brain puts together the two tones it actually hears. Through EEG monitoring the difference tone is identified by a change in the electrical pattern produced by the brain. For example, frequencies of 200 Hz and 210 Hz produce a binaural beat frequency of 10 Hz. Monitoring of the brain’s electricity (EEG) shows that the brain produces increased 10 Hz activity with equal frequency and amplitude of the wave form in both hemispheres. (2)
We were able to test the effects of the sleep tape on brain waves with an EEG machine through the courtesy of the researchers at the Langely-Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, part of the University of California Medical School in San Francisco. Dr. Joe Kaniya, Director of the Psychophysiology of Consciousness Laboratory, monitored the brain-wave frequencies of one subject as he listened to the sleep tape.
The chart recording showed a typical sleep onset pattern: initial alpha waves, then a slowing of the brain waves with sleep spindles, and finally a pattern of stage 2 and 3 sleep brain waves in the low theta range . . . the patterns in the various stages suggested that the tape was influencing the subject’s state. (4)
Dr. Bill D. Schul also refers to the phenomenon of brain entrainment:
[P]hased sine waves at discernible sound frequencies, when blended to create ‘beat’ frequencies within the ranges of electrical brain waves found at the various stages of human sleep, will create a frequency following response (FFR) within the EEG pattern of the individual listening to such audio waveforms. The FFR in turn evokes physiological and mental states in direct relationship to the original stimulus. With the availability of this tool, it becomes possible to develop and hold the subject into any of the various stages of sleep, from light Alpha relaxation through Theta into Delta and in REM (dreaming).
Within the sound processing centers of the brain, pulse stimulation provides relevant information to the higher centers of the brain. In the case of a wave form phase difference the electron pulse rate in one part of a sound-processing center is greater than in another. The differences in electron pulse stimulation within the sound processing centers of the brain are an anomaly. This anomaly (the difference in electron pulse stimulation) comes and goes as the two different frequency wave forms mesh in and out of phase. As a result of these constantly increasing and decreasing differences in electron pulse stimulation, an amplitude modulated standing wave (the binaural beat) is generated within the sound processing centers of the brain itself. It is this standing wave which acts to entrain brain waves. (6)
There’s a revolution going on. There used to be two systems of knowledge: hard science—chemistry, physics, biophysics—on the one hand, and, on the other, a system of knowledge that included ethology, psychology, and psychiatry. And now it’s as if a lightning bolt had connected the two. It’s all one system neuroscience...The present era in neuroscience is comparable to the time when Louis Pasteur first found out that germs cause disease. (8)
... with appropriately selected stimulation protocols [have] been observed by us to be an excellent neuro-pathway exerciser. As such we believe it has great potential for use in promoting optimal cerebral performance... Furthermore, the long-term effects of regular use... on maintaining and improving cerebral performance throughout life and possibly delaying for decades the deterioration of the brain traditionally associated with aging is very exciting.

Receptivity for learning is related to specific states of consciousness. Predominant brainwave patterns are associated with different states of consciousness or awareness. For example, beta frequencies ranging from 13–26 Hz are associated with concentration, and alert problem solving; alpha frequencies (8–13 Hz) occur when the eyes are closed and a state of alert relaxation is present; theta (4–7 Hz) is associated with deep relaxation with a high receptivity for new experiences and learning... (15)
The presence of theta patterns (4–7 Hz) in the brain has been associated with states of increased receptivity for learning and reduced filtering of information by the left hemisphere. This state of awareness is available for relatively brief periods as the individual enters a state of reverie or passes in and out of the deep sleep phase of the 90 minute sleep cycle. [Binaural beat] signals, however, can facilitate a prolonged state of theta to produce a relaxed receptivity for learning . . . [These signals] create a state of coherence in the brain. Right and left hemispheres as well as subcortical areas become activated in harmony, reflected by equal frequency and amplitude of EEG patterns from both hemispheres. This creates an internal physiological environment for learning which involves the whole brain. The linear, sequential style of problem solving preferred by the left hemisphere is brought into balance with the global, intuitive style of the right hemisphere and limbic system (subcortex). This allows the learner to have greater access to internal and external knowledge and provides a milieu for expanding intuition in problem solving. One of the by-products of hemispheric synchronization appears to be a highly focused state of attending. The ability to reduce ‘mind chatter’ and focus the attention is critical for efficient learning (16).
...a transition zone between wakefulness and sleep in which one can absorb new information in an uncritical, non-analytical fashion. [Budzynski] speculated that this allows new information to be considered by the right hemisphere through bypassing the critical filters of the left hemisphere. Thus, information leading to a change in self-concept would become more available; modification of habitual behaviors or consideration of one’s belief system could occur more easily if alternatives were presented during a period of theta activity. (18)
....actively induce a state of deactivation in which the brain is passive, but not asleep; awake, but not involved with the ‘clutter’ of an ongoing existence. If this is true, then it may be a state in which new cognitive strategies could be designed and developed... f we can help a person to experience different brain-wave states consciously through driving them with external stimulation, we may facilitate the individual’s ability to allow more variations in their functioning through breaking up patterns at the neural level. This may help them develop the ability to shift gears or ‘shuttle’ and move them away from habit patterns of behavior to become more flexible and creative, and to develop elegant strategies of functioning (19).
What I think is happening... is that by sending out the proper frequency, proper waveform and proper current... we tend to change the configuration of the cell membrane. Cells that are at sub-optimal levels are stimulated to ‘turn on’ and produce what they’re supposed to produce, probably through DNA, which is stimulated through the cell membrane... You’re charging the cells through a biochemical process that can possibly balance the acetylcholine or whatever neurotransmitter needs to be turned on . . . (29)
[T]he evidence clearly shows that the brain reward pathways play an important role in learning and memory . . . I have speculated that the pathways of brain reward may function as the pathways of memory consolidation. By this I mean that when something is learned, activity in the brain reward pathways facilitates formation of memory... Evidence for the reward effects of localized electrical stimulation... and for the association of reward paths with memory formation indicates that the neural substrates of self-stimulation play a vital role in the guidance of behavior.

•Over 68% had increases in DHEA levels, with an average increase of 43.77%. Several participants had increases of 50, 60, even 90%.
•Cortisol was down an average of 46.47%, with positive changes in 68% of the people, and with several participants having decreases of 70 or 80%.
•Melatonin levels increased an average of 97.77%, with positive changes happening in over 73% of the participants. Many had improvements of 100, 200, even 300%.
Anything I should know before beginning a regimen here?
I completely overcame 3rd stage stuttering with subliminal program tapes in the early 80s (supposedly impossible, from most responsible research studies), so who knows.

I was going to comment on the first post you made, but since you elaborated more on that I decided comment on this subject.
Subliminal tapes as you say do not seem to work (tests have been made to attempt to determine its efficacy), but the same tests state that there is more involved than the message and the capability of one to hear it.
Sound is a very powerful thing even during sleep you can be attentive to it, most people can develop susceptibility to some and the capacity to ignore others. I have friends that can't sleep wit the harddisk ticking or the computer fan rotating, and others that you can talk normally in the room and it will not disturb them. The capacity to continue to hear sound in our sleep is supposed to have been of special importance of our evolution, some people awake immediately with special sounds or even with different moods. Sound is extremely linked to emotions and sound has patterns, we even store sound patterns in different locations (to other memories) in the brain, our mind loves patterns...
The effect that may be escaping you, is the power of belief and autosuggestion. One of the most common reasons for stuttering is nervousness, this is easily fixable with practice and/or the power of suggestion (hypnotic phenomena). The power was not in the tapes or in your special capacity to listen to them in your sleep, but on you focus, conviction and mental power to surpass the problem. You played along a confidence game with your subconscious, creating the a setting that permitted the message to be internalized. Autosuggestion (as any other hypnotic phenomena) are very cool, it relates to things like the placebo effect and can explain many other types of events, even binaural effects can be empowered by suggestion and expectation.
In any case do not change any of your beliefs, if they are positive to you. One should beware of naysayers, the more support you give to your positive beliefs the more powerful they will affect you.

My only question is how you fit all that into one post. I can never get enough of what I want to include into one post. That was amazing.

I figured you'd appreciate it.
One thing that I've discovered about using these, if you're working with some fairly powerful ones, and that is the evolutionary model whereby the stimulous "pushes" on the brain-system, causing a number of changes to take place within the highly "elastic" brain system, including increasing left/right brain hemispheric synchronization plus the actual creation and generation of new neuronal pathways. The brain might be considered an electromagnetic phenomenon, along with a vastly complex neuronal network, and the harmonic frequency following resonse (FFR) creates a "sphere" of new neuronal possibilities in the evolutionary process of reintegration which occurs during sleep at night.
Thus, if you overload the brain to a degree, say by using brainwave entrainment for up to 1.5-2 hrs/day - when you wake up in the morning, post-reintegration, there is often a burst of newfound awareness and a refreshing revitalized sensory impression of the world, like having scales fall from one's eyes.
That's what happened to me just today on this magnificent fall day, after thinking yesterday that I'd "overdone it" in regards to my use of the BB tracks.
You can almost feel a certain depression or mourning build, but provided you don't resist it and allow the mourning to take place, then a new creation awaits the next morning, this is what I'd like to report.
So it can be used then as an evolutionary tool for dramatic shifts and jumps in awareness and individual personal experience with dramatically hightened sense perception particularly in relation to all manner of light and color. For me, today, it's like the world has been reborn anew!
