Attributed extracts from the research record

“the beta-frequency beats were associated with less negative mood.”
“Results suggest that the presentation of binaural auditory beats can affect psychomotor performance and mood.”
“This technology may have applications for the control of attention and arousal and the enhancement of human performance.”
