The Sound Science of Quantum Wave
Four layers of sound, explained simply.
- Binaural BeatsTwo slightly different tones, one in each ear, that the brain hears as a gentle third beat.
- Isochronic TonesSingle tones that switch on and off at a steady rhythm, creating a clear pulse.
- Layered Frequency PatternsSeveral frequencies woven together to create a rich, guided listening experience.
- Ambient SoundscapesSoft background sound that makes the session pleasant and easy to relax into.
Delta0.5 to 4 Hz
Deep, dreamless sleep
Theta4 to 8 Hz
Deep relaxation and daydreaming
Alpha8 to 12 Hz
Relaxed, calm alertness
Beta12 to 30 Hz
Active thinking and focus
Gamma30 Hz and up
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.
