Recently published on 1st January in Cerebral Cortex, a study relates the comprehension of auditory sentences based on binaural beat. It is also exhibited to improve cognition. The EEG study on 60 participants demonstrates the use of various frequencies followed by language comprehension task. The effect of binaural beat with beta frequency was noted faster language response in comparison to control group.
The function and structure of neural network supports processing of speech for comprehension. The sound waves reaching to auditory cortex through auditory nerves are differentiated based on qualities. Experiences of bilingual learning or binaural beats in early ages help to appreciate the complexities of sensory experiences as low frequency beta waves gives calming effects. The concept of sound wave therapy lies with this. Researches show enhanced concentration and alertness with low beta frequency. Studies also presented the beta binaural beats as effective method to improve cognition, logic and critical reasoning. Beta waves are linked to cortical integrity. Right amount of these waves allow us to accomplish the tasks in focussed manner. Beta rhythms are often found in frontal and central region of cortex and, the prefrontal region is connected to these tasks. Even different types of meditation also activate the frontal and prefrontal cortex.
Ayurveda deals these sound waves connecting with waves or energy matching with individual bodily energy. It is more related to chakra meditation with chanting of Om, a technique experimentally shown to stimulate vagus nerve for the treatment of depression. The proper way of chanting Om with complete concentration helps for the synchronization of sound waves with electrical waves generated by nerves, needed for autonomic regulation. Such regulation activates the cortical area connected to cognition and rationality. Ultimately, they are banded together with holistic health and wellness.
