Isochronic tones are a form of brainwave entrainment that uses repetitive beats or pulses at specific frequencies to synchronize the brain's activity.
Unlike binaural beats, which require headphones to create a perceived third tone, isochronic tones don't rely on stereo audio. Instead, they use a single tone that pulses on and off at precise intervals.
Isochronic Tones Vs Binaural Beats - The Difference
Isochronic tones and binaural beats are popular tools for achieving altered states of consciousness and enhancing mental well-being.
The key difference lies in their delivery. Isochronic tones use a single tone that pulses on and off at specific intervals, while binaural beats require stereo headphones to create a perceived third tone by the brain processing two slightly different frequencies in each ear.
Both methods can be effective for various purposes. However, isochronic tones are often preferred for their simplicity and accessibility, as they don't require headphones and can be used with regular speakers.
Binaural beats, on the other hand, offer a unique stereo experience, but require headphones for optimal results. The choice between the two ultimately depends on individual preference and the desired outcome of the audio-based meditation or relaxation session.
How Do Isochronic Tones Work?
The brain operates at different frequencies, commonly categorized into five main states: Delta (0.5-4 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz), Alpha (8-13 Hz), Beta (13-30/38 Hz), and Gamma (30+ Hz or 38+ Hz), depending on the source. Each of these states corresponds to different mental and emotional states.
| Brainwave | Frequency | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Delta | 0-4 Hz | Deep sleep. Healing and pain relief. Access to the unconscious mind. |
| ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| Theta | 4-8 Hz | Deep relaxation. Meditation. Zone between being wake or sleeping. |
| ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| Alpha | 8-12 Hz | Relaxed focus. Stress reduction. Accelerated learning. Flow state. |
Isochronic tones work by guiding the brain into a desired state through the frequency of the pulsing tone. For example, isochronic tones in the theta or alpha range can be used to achieve deep relaxation and stress reduction during meditation.
These tones encourage your brain to naturally synchronize its activity with the external pulses, helping you to reach your desired mental state more easily.
With the MEGA PACK you will get each isochronic tone with two different base frequencies:
- One setup with a base frequency of 120 Hz.
- Another setup with a base frequency of 240 Hz.
The option between a 240 Hz and a 120 Hz base frequency allows you to choose between higher-pitched tones and deeper, more resonant sounds, tailoring the experience to personal preference. The 240 Hz base frequency produces tones of higher pitch, whereas the 120 Hz setup offers a comparatively lower, deeper auditory experience.
You can listen to a sample of the 120Hz and 240Hz base frequencies here: https://on.soundcloud.com/u75Z4
