[edit] Link to Commercial Site

Anyone have an objection to linking to [1], which has an MP3 demonstration of binaural beat frequencies? Grunnah 02:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion?

Why in the world would this article be deleted? It was nominated for deletion over a year ago and that's still valid? 209.150.56.190

[edit] Health issues?

Noted in the article on binaural beats, risks include seizure and death. Can we get some numbers on how often that happens? Same risk as a Pokemon episode? or are we talking 1 in 10 here.

[edit] Possible addition

I have been reading here and there about brainwave entrainment. This is how I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong. I don't feel confident adding this information to the article. Maybe someone with more knowledge?

• The frequency that the brain is entrained is being entrained to is too low for our ears to hear and so two sounds are played at the same time in different ears. If one sound was at 500 hz and the other at 10 hz then they ,.... ok I thought I could recall what I had learned lol. Wow, does anyone understand what I was trying to get at?

[edit] Marked for cleanup?

Marked for cleanup? What does that mean? This is a perfectly fine entry. Additional information wouldn't hurt, but it shouldn't be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.65.59.153 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 29 January 2006 UTC.

[edit] Sub-bands reference

I've found and added a reference for the sub-bands,[2] at least we are sure they weren't made up by the author of the article. However, this is a page selling commercial products, so it's not the best choice. If someone finds a link to a non-commercial page with the same info, feel free to remove the current one. --Army1987 17:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

You've almost got it. If in one ear is a pattern of 500hz and in the other 510hz, then theoretically the brain calculates that as 10hz.

[edit] External links

This article was jam-packed with commercial/advertising links, so I reduced it to the only non-commercial link I saw. Please discuss links here first before adding them to the article. Thanks --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 02:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] overview

not to be an ass, but am i the only one who thinks the overview sounds like total nonsense? "Brainwave synchronization is a private case of functional brain connectivity concept, whereas functional connectivity is defined as the temporal correlation between spatially-remote neurophysiological events, expressed as deviation from statistical independence (temporal correlation) across these events in distributed neuronal groups and areas, which produce the brainwaves". near as i can tell, functional connectivity means 'two things happen at the same time' which could have been written a lot better. and i have no clue why this is a private case; are there public cases of brain connectivity? this seems like someone took a dense scientific article and ran it through babelfish a few times. --dan 03:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No criticism?

Something as flakey as this sounds must have some critics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Siodine (talk • contribs) 15:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
