BINAURAL BEATS
Tuesday, October 29th - Thursday, October 31st | 8PM - Midnight
Metal Oasis: A Safe Space For All Headbangers (Deck 12, MID)
When you hear two tones — one in each ear — that are slightly different in frequency, your brain processes a beat at the difference of the frequencies. This is called a binaural beat. The theory is that binaural beats can help create the frequency needed for your brain to create the same waves commonly experienced during meditation. Come experience this brain wave entrainment technology!
