  2. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Diagram of beat frequency. In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.

  3. Beta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_wave

    Beta waves, or beta rhythm, are neural oscillations (brainwaves) in the brain with a frequency range of between 12.5 and 30 Hz (12.5 to 30 cycles per second). Several different rhythms coexist, with some being inhibitory and others excitory in function. [1]

  4. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    Comparison of equal-tempered (black) and Pythagorean (green) intervals showing the relationship between frequency ratio and the intervals' values, in cents. Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are determined by choosing a sequence of fifths [ 2 ] which are " pure " or perfect , with ...

  6. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    The global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum [2] from 3 Hz through 60 Hz [3] and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental), 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

  7. Music therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_therapy

    I am not altogether convinced that African music healing and music therapy are especially closely related [emphasis added]. But I am utterly convinced that music therapy can learn an enormous amount from the African worldview and from music-making in Africa – rather than from African music-healing as such." [109]

  8. Rapid eye movement sleep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement_sleep

    Rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep or REMS) is a unique phase of sleep in mammals (including humans) and birds, characterized by random rapid movement of the eyes, accompanied by low muscle tone throughout the body, and the propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly. The core body and brain temperatures increase during REM sleep and skin ...

  9. Sawtooth wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawtooth_wave

    The horizontal frequency is 15.734 kHz on NTSC, 15.625 kHz for PAL and SECAM. The vertical deflection system operates the same way as the horizontal, though at a much lower frequency (59.94 Hz on NTSC, 50 Hz for PAL and SECAM). The ramp portion of the wave must appear as a straight line.
