Science behind TruceTalk® binaural hypnosis occurs naturally
How TruceTalk® Binaural Hypnosis Works
A different sound (tone) frequency is sent to the left and right ears through headphones.
Upon hearing the two different frequencies, the brain interprets one consistent, rhythmic frequency, known as a binaural beat(s).

Although the creation of binaural beats music has only been possible through technological advancement in the last 100 or so years, the use of this type of sound therapy dates back thousands of years.
Ancient cultures were aware of how the brain could be entrained through sound repetition long before modern science was able to prove the process.
History notes many examples of music used as medicine and therapy:
The ancient Greeks used music to ease stress, promote sleep, and soothe pain.
The Native Americans and Africans used singing and chanting as part of their healing rituals.
Even in language we see a connection between healing and music. For example, the Chinese character for medicine includes the character for music.
Of course, in times past, societies didn't refer to music therapy, binaural beats, or brainwave entrainment of any kind. But what they did know was that sound had powerful healing properties.

Interestingly, certified clinical hypnotherapist and certified clinical trauma professional, Rev. Charles Lenzy, Ph.D, CCHt, CCTP., conducted research on the drumbeats used during rituals of ancient cultures and found that they generally beat at a steady rate of 4.5 beats per second.
This consistent beat induced a trance-like
state for the tribe, due to the brain following along at a 4.5 beats-per-second brainwave frequency, which is a low Theta brainwave state, as you'll learn about later on.
Lenzy noted:
The pattern of the drumbeat as it relates to beats per second can be correlated with resulting temporary changes in brain wave frequency (cycles per second) and/or subjective experience, provided the drumming pattern is sustained for at least 13 – 15 minutes.
This research supports the theories that suggest that the use of the drum by indigenous cultures in ritual and ceremony has specific neurophysiological effects and the ability to elicit temporary changes in brain wave activity, and thereby facilitates imagery and possible entry into an ASC (altered state of consciousness) (2).
Indeed, in almost every ancient culture, repetitive beat formats have played an important role in well-being and prosperity.
For example: through the use of repetitive drumming and chanting, Yoruba Ifa Priests, Paleros, Tatas, Babalows, NGanguleros,Tibetan monks, Native American shamans, Hindu healers, and master Yogis have been able to induce specific states of being for meditation, transcending consciousness, and healing.
Binaural beats provide benefits in the same way, helping with deeper meditation, stress release, reduced anxiety, improved focus, better sleep, and more.

The 5 Brainwave States & Their Benefits
As explained above, we can listen to binaural beats to encourage the brain to produce brainwaves of a specific type (state). There are five main brainwave states, as follows:
Delta: 1-4 Hz
Theta: 4-8 Hz
Alpha: 8-14 H

The 5 Brainwave States & Their Benefits
As explained above, we can listen to binaural beats to encourage the brain to produce brainwaves of a specific type (state). There are five main brainwave states, as follows:
Delta: 1-4 Hz
Theta: 4-8 Hz
Alpha: 8-14 Hz
Beta: 14-30 Hz
Gamma: 30-100 Hz
The states ascend in terms of speed, starting at the slowest frequency waves, delta, to the fastest frequency waves, gamma.
The effect listening to binaural beats has on your brain is dependent on the frequency of the track and the brainwaves it stimulates production of.
For example: To induce deep relaxation, we can listen to Theta wave music.
And to encourage deeper sleep , we can listen to Delta wave music.
The graphic coming below will show the five main brainwave state categories used in binaural beats music, and their associated benefits

Test a Binaural Beat for Yourself
Additional Information for You
Having read the information thus far, you now hopefully understand the theory.
You can test this theory in real-time by using our test tone below.
It is a raw (no music overlay) Theta binaural beat at 6 Hz.
Follow the instructions to complete the test.
- Put your headphones on and press play on the player.
- When you have both earphones in your ears, note that you hear a single pulsating sound. Some liken it to a wavering or trembling type sound.
- Now remove one earphone; left or right, it doesn't matter. When you remove one earphone, you will notice that the pulsation disappears completely and that you hear a single tone in the earphone you still have on.
- When you put the other headphone back in your ear, the pulsating sound comes again. This is because when you have both earphones in, your brain is effectively linking the two frequencies (tones) and perceiving the mathematical difference between the left and right tones (creating a binaural beat). In this case, it perceives a frequency of 6 Hertz.
Please note: When you take one earphone out, move it as far away from your ear as possible.
With some headphones, you may still be able to hear the pulsating sound if the removed headphone is still fairly close to your ear. This is because your brain can still detect the frequency vibration coming from the headphone.
In addition, push the earphone that’s still on your ear firmly to the ear, while moving the other earphone as far away as possible.
Your brain will now follow along and produce brainwaves at the frequency of 6 Hz. This is the ‘frequency following response' process, as discussed earlier.
Note that you should listen for a minimum of 15 minutes to benefit from the entrainment.
Human Hearing Threshold & Binaural Beats
Because the human hearing threshold is commonly cited as 20-20,000 Hz, you may wonder how it is possible to hear binaural beats frequencies below 20 Hz.
This human frequency response refers to the pitch range you can hear: the audible sounds in music.
However, the key thing to remember is that you aren't actually hearing the frequency the brain interprets. What you hear is the initial frequencies sent to your left and right ears.
The binaural beat(s) is the resulting frequency, which the brain interprets after hearing the sound/vibrations of the two frequencies sent to the left and right ears.
The response happens inside the brain. It is often referred to as an auditory illusion: because you don't hear the resulting frequency and the brain is somewhat tricked into responding in this way.
Using the example in the aforementioned section, the brain would produce brainwaves at 6 Hz. This means the brain is perceiving a frequency of 6 vibrations/cycles per second, and subsequently producing brainwaves of the same frequency.
Why TruceTalk® Hypnosis?
Additional Information for You
TruceTalk®’ is our brand name and a term developed for our advanced TruceTalk® neuromeditation Hypnotic Audio Recordings or hypno-music therapy. We were the first to coin the term during our research and development with inmates in 1998.
Not all binaural beats music is designed for meditation and relaxation, but as you can see from the diagram above, many of its use cases are linked to a relaxed, meditative state of mind.
We developed this term for 3 key reasons:
1. TruceTalk® Neuromeditation Hypnotic Audio Recording music is generally designed to entrain the brain in a similar way to that of meditation; a state often referred to as mindful awareness in the present moment.
2. Our music is accompanied by ambient, relaxing music, often featuring nature-inspired soundscapes. This is similar to the sound design used in standard meditation music.
3. Similar to meditation practice, practitioners are usually seated (sometimes in the lotus position) or lying down. This is conducive to attaining a relaxed, centered state of mind, which is ultimately conducive to entrainment.
We hope you now better understand how TruceTalk® Hypnosis works.
You can get started by compiling your own listening program from your first session.
The Proven Benefits of TruceTalk® Binaural Beats Hypnotic Audio Recordings
The benefits of binaural beats are well documented in the scientific literature, and are similar to those produced by meditation.
In this post, we will look at the parallels between the two and highlight key research studies in popular areas of binaural beats use, namely relaxation, sleep, anxiety, pain relief, and memory.
We'll also show why using binaural beats is more effective than simply meditating, and explain how to use binaural beats effectively.
The Proven Benefits of TruceTalk® Hypnosis on Health
Meditation & Healing
Research has shown that TruceTalk® binaural beats can help induce a meditative state for deep relaxation and inner healing.
Where meditation is concerned, TruceTalk® binaural beats can help shift the brain into the relaxed, centered state required for inner focus and reflection. Theta binaural beats recordings are generally used for this purpose.
In the study cited above, a frequency of 6 Hz was “suggested as a stimulus for inducing a meditative state”.
The study measured brain functionality during the test and showed that “the pattern recorded for 10 minute exposure appeared to be brain functions of a meditative state.
The researchers also noted that the tension factor of those listening to the recording decreased.
A meditative state is conducive to healing in both mind and spirit. And the reduction in tension is conducive to better immunity and lower levels of stress response hormones such as cortisol.
Anxiety & Stress
Research has shown that binaural beats music can be used to significantly reduce anxiety.
In a study of preoperative dental patients, an area in which many people find themselves feeling anxious, researchers found that the experimental group using binaural beats experienced reduced anxiety.
The study concluded that “binaural beats may be useful in reducing preoperative anxiety in dentistry”.
In another study looking at psychological effects, a reduction in anxiety was also seen.
There was a decrease in trait anxiety, an increase in quality of life, and a decrease in insulin-like growth factor.
The researchers concluded that “binaural beat technology may exhibit positive effect on self-reported psychologic measures, especially anxiety”.
The decrease in IGF-1 is also notable, since high levels of this hormone in adults have been linked with cancer
Pain Relief
Research has shown binaural beats to be effective at reducing the severity of chronic pain.
This is because at low frequency levels (Delta), binaural beats are found by many to have an anesthetic effect.
Thirty six adults, all suffering from chronic pain symptoms were given two recordings to listen to for 14 days.
Again, as we saw above in the meditation research section, a 6 Hertz binaural beat was used. The control (sham) group was exposed to a random frequency of 300 Hz.
In pain test scores, the binaural beats (experimental group) showed most improvement.
The study concluded:
The results supported the hypothesis that an external audio protocol of TruceTalk® neuromeditation Hypnotic Audio hypnotherapy was effective in reducing perceived pain severity for participants.
Sleep & Insomnia
Research has shown that binaural beats can improve sleep quality and motivational state.
With so many people suffering from insomnia, the benefit of using binaural beats is a preferred natural approach to sleep improvement over prescription medication, which is often costly and potentially addictive.
One study set out to see if binaural beats could help improve the sleep of young, elite Lacrosse players in Pensacola, Florida.
The players were given binaural beats to listen to while they slept over a period of 28 days.
The recordings were between 2-8 Hz (Delta and Theta).
The results were positive and the study concluded:
- Auditory stimulation with binaural beats improved perceived sleep quality and the post-sleep state of athletes,
- Another study showed that listening to 3 Hz (Delta) binaural beats improved deep sleep by extending this period of sleep.
- The study concluded:
- This increased N3 duration was induced by the 3-Hz binaural beat, as was clearly observed by the comparison of the change in the control group at the same time-point, night 3 compared with night 2.
This comparison was conducted to confirm that this effect was indeed the effect of the stimulus, not the effect of habituation to the surrounding environment
Memory
Research has shown that binaural beats may improve working memory and long term memory.
A number of key areas have been looked into, with perhaps the most interesting being the proportional relationship between gamma activity and long-term memory.
Researchers used 40 Hz binaural beats to study this relationship and found that “stimulation of gamma should enhance long term memory capacity”.
This is particularly good news for those wanting to maintain memory capacity as they age.
Indeed, regular use of Gamma state binaural beats may “enable the processing of information directly to and from human memory via gamma, the hippocampus and the temporal lobe”.
Another key finding emerged from a different study. Researchers found:
Listening to 15 Hz binaural beats during a *visuos-patial working memory task not only increased response accuracy, but also modified the strengths of the cortical networks during the task.
* Visuos-patial skill is the ability to represent, analyze, and mentally manipulate objects.
15 Hz is the start of the Beta waves state. What's interesting about this finding is that at 5Hz (Theta) and 10 Hz (low Alpha), they did not see the same effect. So the effect binaural beats has on memory seems to start in the Beta state and continue up to the Gamma state.
This theory is corroborated by a third study, in which researchers used 5 Hz (Theta) and 20 Hz (Beta) binaural beats on the subjects.
They found the following:
Exposure to beta-frequency binaural beats yielded a greater proportion of correctly recalled words and a higher sensitivity index d' in recognition tasks, while theta-frequency binaural-beat presentation lessened the number of correctly remembered words and the sensitivity index.

TruceTalk® Neuromeditation Hypnotic Audio Recordings Vs. Regular Meditation
If we compare the benefits of TruceTalk® binaural beats to those seen in meditation, the two are similar.
Happier and less stressed
Research suggests this may be due to the fact that meditation reduces the area of the brain responsible for anxiety, fear and stress.
This would mean less stress and anxiety and increased feelings of contentment and joy.
Better problem-solving abilities
Those who meditate have sharper minds. This is because meditation is associated with changes in gray matter concentration in the brain regions involved in learning and memory processes and emotion regulation.
It is no coincidence that so many successful people make meditation part of their daily routine, and that companies around the world encourage their employees to engage in meditation practice (4)
Preserving Memory & Aging
Meditation may help preserve brain structure and function from progressive age-related decline, and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Better Sleep
Meditation may also improve sleep quality and help those with insomnia.
The research is certainly clear: meditation is good for your overall health. It is free health benefit that everyone can enjoy. So then, the question remains…
