A multiple linear regression analysis of the data demonstrated little evidence supporting a correlation between perception of binaural beats effect and grade on the assignment. The effects of binaural beats stimulation compared to classical music on the memory. I used a PANAS survey to measure student's perception of positive and negative effects of binaural beats on their performance on a timed writing assignment. The difference in frequencies creates the illusion of a third sound. I hypothesize that exposure to music containing beta frequency binaural beats (14-30 hertz) in a classroom setting will lead to a heightened individual perception of focus and other positive effects due to a process called brainwave entrainment, in which one's brain waves gradually synchronize to an external pulse (such as binaural beats) over time, possibly influencing state of mind. Background: Binaural Beats (BB) consist of two artificial acoustic stimuli with different frequency, presented simultaneously but independently to each ear. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion caused by listening to two tones of slightly different frequency, one in each ear. Much research has been done regarding the validity of these claims, but very little pertains to the potential application of binaural beats in a classroom setting where they could be used as a tool to promote a heightened sense of awareness. While binaural beats can be unnerving and even headache-inducing on their own, many companies market music containing binaural beats, claiming it has a myriad of therapeutic properties. This research concluded that listening to alpha state binaural beats aids production of serotonin, a hormone which increases feelings of happiness, assists in.
For example, if a person wearing headphones were to play a 440 hertz frequency and 448 hertz frequency at the same time they would hear an 8 hertz pulsing sound as a result of the clashing frequencies. It has been suggested that binaural beats can influence cognition and mental states among others.
Binaural beats are an auditory illusion perceived when two pure tone sine-waves of nearly identical frequency are presented to a listener dichotically (meaning one frequency in each ear) using some kind of stereo speaker or headphones. Binaural auditory beats are a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when presenting separately to each ear two tones that slightly differ in their frequency.
