If you've ever wondered how sound can affect your brain, you're not alone. Brainwave entrainment is a fascinating field that explores how auditory stimuli may help guide your brain into specific states. The Brain Song is a 12-minute audio program built on this science.
Sound and Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections — doesn't diminish with age as dramatically as once thought. Audio stimulation, particularly in the gamma frequency range, may help support this ongoing neural adaptation.
🔬 Key Scientific Concepts
- Binaural Beats: Two tones at slightly different frequencies create a perceived third frequency in the brain
- Gamma Oscillations: 30-100 Hz brainwaves associated with high-level information processing
- BDNF: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor — supports neuronal growth and survival
- Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to form new neural pathways throughout life
The Gamma-BDNF Pathway
Neuroscience research has established that gamma brainwave activity correlates with increased BDNF expression. A study published in the journal Neuroscience Letters found that subjects exposed to gamma-frequency stimulation showed measurable changes in neural markers associated with cognitive function. This is the fundamental mechanism The Brain Song is designed to leverage.
How Audio Becomes Brain Activity
Audio Input
Slightly different frequencies are delivered to each ear through stereo headphones (e.g., 400 Hz left, 440 Hz right).
Beat Perception
Your brain processes the difference (40 Hz) as a binaural beat — a perceived oscillation in the gamma range.
Neural Entrainment
Over 12 minutes, your brainwave patterns may begin to synchronize with this gamma frequency.
Potential BDNF Response
Sustained gamma activity has been associated with increased BDNF production in research settings.
