  2. Isochronic tones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochronic_tones

    Isochronic tones can quantitatively be distinguished by both the frequency or pitch of the tone itself, and by the interval or frequency of repetition of the tone. While listening to isochronic tones is a technique often employed in the theoretical practice of brainwave entrainment, reliable scientific research into the effectiveness of this ...

  3. Binaural recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording

    Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3D stereo sound sensation for the listener of actually being in the room with the performers or instruments.

  4. Brainwave entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

    Brainwave entrainment is a colloquialism for 'neural entrainment', [25] which is a term used to denote the way in which the aggregate frequency of oscillations produced by the synchronous electrical activity in ensembles of cortical neurons can adjust to synchronize with the periodic vibration of external stimuli, such as a sustained acoustic ...

  5. 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.

  6. Surround sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound

    Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create the 3-D stereo experience of being present in the room with the performers or instruments. The idea of a three dimensional or "internal" form of sound has developed into technology for stethoscopes creating "in-head" acoustics and ...

  7. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Binaural localization, however, was possible with lower frequencies. This is likely due to the pinna being small enough to only interact with sound waves of high frequency. [ 19 ] It seems that people can only accurately localize the elevation of sounds that are complex and include frequencies above 7,000 Hz, and a pinna must be present.

  8. Head-related transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function

    HRTF filtering effect. A head-related transfer function (HRTF) is a response that characterizes how an ear receives a sound from a point in space. As sound strikes the listener, the size and shape of the head, ears, ear canal, density of the head, size and shape of nasal and oral cavities, all transform the sound and affect how it is perceived, boosting some frequencies and attenuating others.

  9. Binaural fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_fusion

    Binaural fusion or binaural integration is a cognitive process that involves the combination of different auditory information presented binaurally, or to each ear.In humans, this process is essential in understanding speech in noisy and reverberent environments.
