Question 1

If a binaural beat track plays 200 Hz in the left ear and 210 Hz in the right ear, what beat frequency does the brain perceive?

Accepted Answer

10 Hz

Answer

The brain perceives a binaural beat equal to the difference between the two tones: 210 − 200 = 10 Hz, which falls in the alpha range.

Question 2

Which condition is most commonly cited as a contraindication for brainwave entrainment audio?

Accepted Answer

Epilepsy or seizure disorders

Answer

Rhythmic flickering or pulsing stimuli can trigger seizures in people with epilepsy, making entrainment audio a known risk.

Question 3

How does 'frequency following response' relate to EEG measurements?

Accepted Answer

EEG recordings show dominant frequencies shifting toward the stimulus frequency

Answer

EEG studies on entrainment show that the dominant brainwave frequency in the recording moves closer to the frequency of the applied stimulus.

Question 4

Which audio format consideration is important when delivering binaural beats digitally?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining high sample rates (44.1 kHz or higher) to preserve precise frequencies

Answer

High sample rates preserve the subtle frequency differences between left and right channels that generate accurate binaural beat perception.

Question 5

A 40 Hz gamma entrainment protocol has been studied in relation to which neurodegenerative condition?

Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease and gamma oscillation deficits

Answer

MIT research has explored 40 Hz gamma stimulation (GENUS therapy) as a potential approach to address gamma oscillation deficits observed in Alzheimer's disease.
