If you’ve ever found yourself tapping your foot or felt your body swaying to a melody, you’re familiar with this phenomenon.

The moment we hear a musical beat, and for as long as the sounds continue, neurons in our brains repeatedly trigger in rhythm.

This trigger causes an electrical communication signal to pass from our auditory system to our brain cells.

With this firing of brain cells, surrounding neurons begin to respond. This leads to more firing neurons, repeating again and again, until a pulsing rhythm results.

When enough neurons are fired and join in the rhythm, its strength becomes measurable via electroencephalograph, or EEG.

Even weaker individual brain cells join in with this rhythm, creating an electrochemical rhythmic pulse. The activity in the brain is then guided in a new direction in concert with these musical beats.

And that’s another example of how binaural beats work in music.

If you’ve ever wondered, does brainwave music work, this scientifically proven rhythmic entrainment of the brain with music is one of the reasons why it does.

The two tones essentially clash with one another, sounding mismatched.

These clashing notes may vibrate together, making them louder. Or one might be louder than the other, making them softer, canceling each other out.

Think about that.  It’s an incredible phenomenon of the brain.

Research has shown that when your brain responds to these phantom beats, what we call binaural beats, it changes its own rhythmic activity to match the beat.

Sometimes, this response results in changes within the activity of the brain. Yet another answer to the question of how do binaural beats work.

Check out this article, if you would like to know more about the science behind binaural beats.

Until David & Steve Gordon’s Binaural Beats Research series, you needed to use headphones in order for the tones to entrain your brain.

But through the addition of isochronic tones, mixed in the music using an exclusive process, the effect previously only achieved with headphones is now possible while listening to their Binaural Beats music with speakers.

In order for Binaural Beats music to work, until now, the tones that were added to the music had to be mixed so loud that it made it difficult to enjoy the music.

For David & Steve Gordon’s Binaural Beats Research series, they used sound design software to embed the Binaural Beats in the music so it closely follows the exact waveform of the music.

This means the Binaural Beats are always at exactly the right volume, in both loud and quiet passages of the music.

The result is that you can enjoy listening to the music without distracting tones getting in the way.
