How Quantum Wave Works
Rhythmic sound, brainwaves and the 7-minute track.*
Deep, dreamless sleep
Deep relaxation and daydreaming
Relaxed, calm alertness
Active thinking and focus
High-level processing
The five common brainwave bands, from slowest to fastest. Highlighted bands are those linked with calm, relaxed focus. General overview, not a measurement of the program.
How a binaural beat is formed
Each ear receives its own tone through headphones. Because the two tones are slightly different, the brain perceives a soft beat at the difference between them. In this classic example, 200 Hz and 210 Hz create a 10 Hz beat, which sits in the alpha range linked with relaxed alertness.
Textbook example for illustration. Quantum Wave’s exact frequencies are not published.
A suggested way to approach your listening time
The main track lasts 7 minutes. Breath of Earth is an optional 11-minute follow-up. Phase names are a listening suggestion.
Brainwave entrainment
Entrainment is the idea that the brain tends to fall into step with a steady external rhythm. Entrainment audio uses carefully chosen sound frequencies to encourage the brain toward a chosen state.*
The layers
Quantum Wave combines binaural beats, isochronic tones, layered frequency patterns and, in places, ambient soundscapes.
The research behind it
The brand points to research on brainwave entrainment in general, including work published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience and studies from the University of Oxford and Wellesley College.
Consistency
Results build gradually with regular listening, which is why the program is kept to seven minutes a day.
