Psychophysiological reactivity to auditory Binaural Beats stimulation in the alpha and theta EEG brain-wave frequency bands: A randomized, double–blind and placebo–controlled study in human healthy young adult subjects
Independent University of Madrid, Department of Biological and Health Psychology · randomised controlled trial, double blind
Attributed extracts from the research record
“Significant change over time in the parasympathetic parameter HRV–HF power derived from ECG was only found under binaural beats”
“Pre– vs. post saliva samples revealed significant increases only under Placebo in stress–related biomarkers (Cortisol, α –Amylase and Salivary Secretory Immunoglobulin A, SIgA), but not under binaural beats”
“The ability of the binaural beat stimulus to decrease arousal levels and induce/boost altered states of consciousness (ASCs) implies applications in several practical–clinical contexts and calls for further field studies.”
