Binaural Sounds

Specific binaural beat frequencies have been demonstrated to enhance particular brainwave patterns, leading to notable effects such as increased electrical activity and neural restructuring within the brain. These changes can prompt the brain to reorganize itself at more complex levels of functioning, potentially fostering improved cognitive processes and emotional regulation. 

​

PISTA incorporates binaural beats, allowing individuals to reprogram their minds to alleviate emotional, psychological, and physiological pain and stress. Discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839, a binaural beat is the third beat or signal detected by the brain when two tones of different frequencies are presented to the left and right ears. This discovery was followed by Gerald Oster’s extensive research on binaural beats, which led to the idea that when the brain starts to follow or resonate with this third beat, the effect called the Frequency Following Response is created. Oster’s research paved the way for more developments in using auditory stimulation to enhance brain functioning.

​

PISTA employed Oster’s research into the PISTA device to generate two tones, which the brain combines and alters into a single tone in the auditory process for brain entrainment. The frequency of this single tone may vary according to the state an individual wants their brain to achieve. 

​

As it alters frequencies from the binaural beats created by the PISTA device, the brain becomes more susceptible to change and positive reinforcement. When this happens, patients can dramatically change the way they think, eliminate unwanted harmful thought patterns, and welcome positive affirmations at the peak of brain arousal. This process can lead to long-term improvements in mental clarity, memory retention, and overall cognitive health. For instance, certain frequencies may enhance focus and concentration, aiding in tasks that require sustained attention, while others might promote relaxation and stress reduction, contributing to better emotional balance and resilience.
