	Hemispheric Brain Synchronization


	Since the discovery of Hemispheric Brain Synchronization, researchers learned specific sounds could be blended and sequenced to gently lead the brain to various states ranging from deep relaxation or sleep to expanded states of awareness and other extraordinary states. This compelling research became the foundation of a noninvasive and easy-to-use audio-guidance technology known as “Hemi-Sync” by the Monroe Institute, one of many companies that specialize in HBS.


	HBS is caused when the right ear receives one tone and the left ear receives another tone. Each half of the brain hears its tone and the brain then creates a third tone. When the brain generates the third tone, the result is known as Hemispheric Brain Synchronization




	The sensation of auditory binaural beats occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar frequencies are presented one to each ear with stereo headphones or speakers.

		The brain integrates the two signals, producing a sensation of a third sound called the binaural beat. Binaural beats originate in the brainstem's superior olivary nucleus, the site of contralateral integration of auditory input. The best way to generate HBS is to use headphones or ear buds, this way each half of the brain hears the tone that was assigned to it and nothing more.


	Now we get to the problem of headphones and ear buds
