These frequencies can be induced in the brain by playing two different tones into each ear (binaural tones). When processed by the brain, the frequency difference between the tones is perceived as an inaudible beat matching the target brainwave frequency. As you listen, the brain's frequency following response causes your own brainwaves to synchronize with this frequency. \n\nBrainWave uses low, mid, and high frequency ranges of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Binaural Tones combined in layers and stages to create powerful multi-stage experiences.\n\n* Binaural Programs *\n\n- Morning Coffee\n- Espresso Shot\n- Morning Meditation\n- Focused and Alert\n- Gamma-40 Focus\n- Creative Focus\n- Critical Thinking\n- Concentration\n- Memory Boost\n- Problem Solving\n- Brainstorm\n- Confidence Boost\n- Pre-Exercise Energy\n- Creativity Boost\n- Positive Mood Boost\n- Motivation Boost\n- Euphoria\n- Stress Reduction\n- Anger Relief\n- Calm Reflection\n- Reduce Anxiety\n- Deep Relaxation\n- Meditation\n- Lucid Dreaming\n- Power Nap\n- Gamma Power Nap\n- Meditate, Power Nap\n- Meditate, Gamma Power Nap\n- Dreamy Sleep\n- Deep Sleep\n- Deep Slow-Wave Sleep\n- Deep Sleep with Wake-up Stage\n- Dreamy Sleep with Wake-up Stage\n- Headache Relief\n- Hangover Relief\n- Yoga Meditation\n- Alpha Relaxation\n- Theta Meditation\n- Night Meditation\n- Night Reading\n\n* Pure Tones *\n\nTo access Pure Tones, tap the Program List Selector button on the left side of the Program Dial, then tap \"Pure Tones\".
