Neurotunes Frequently Asked Questions

Is Neurotunes a new technology?

Neurotunes is not a new technology. The technology has been studied extensively for a little over 70 Years and is scientifically known as brainwave entrainment.

What is a session?

A session is a Neurotunes soundtrack. Typically 20 to 50 minutes in length.

Does Neurotunes update sessions?

We are constantly updating our sessions according to the latest discoveries in neuron science and results from our own testing.

What are the brainwave frequencies?

Below is a simple description containing the four common types of brainwave frequencies along with their characteristic features and associated mental states.

BETA waves 13 to 30 Hz: The fastest waves, most commonly found during our waking state, associated with outward awareness, engaged mind, arousal, actively perceiving and evaluating forms of data through the senses; also present with fear, anger, worry, hunger, and surprise.

ALPHA waves 7 to 13 Hz: Associated with non-drowsy but relaxed, tranquil state of consciousness, less engagement and arousal, pleasant inward awareness, body/mind integration, present during meditation and states of relaxation.

THETA waves 3 to 7 Hz: Associated with increased recall, creativity, imagery and visualization, free-flowing thought, future planning, inspiration, drowsiness, present during dreaming and REM states.

DELTA waves 1 to 3 Hz: Associated with deep dreamless sleep, deep trance state pituitary release of growth hormone, self-healing, present during deep levels of non-REM sleep.

What is Hemispheric Synchronization?

Hemispheric synchronization refers to a state when the electrical activity of the left and right brain hemispheres become similar. There is a left and right brain hemisphere, connected via a neural structure called the corpus callosum. The right hemisphere is associated more with emotions and creativity while the left is associated more with logic and speech.

Despite popular misconception, most people have plenty of electrical activity in the right hemisphere and lack of electrical activity in the left hemisphere.

Someone with similar electrical activity in both brain hemispheres is usually healthier, happier, more optimistic, more emotionally stable and less prone to mental disorders.

Increased levels of synchronization are found naturally with experienced meditators and people who have found ways of becoming highly content with their lives.

When will I notice an effect?

Major shifts in your electrical activity in your brain can happen after listening to only one session. Permanent emotional/behavioral change usually takes place over a series of months assuming you are listening to the sessions regularly (5-7 times a week) and properly. Eventually you will have trained your brain to produce the patterns on its own.

How often can I listen to Neurotunes?

There is no time limit or over-usage. A Neurotunes induced mental state will stay with you for 20-60 minutes after the music is turned off, in typical circumstances.
