Today in Episode 84 of The People's Scientist podcast, I talk about how sounds may impact our brain frequencies and therefore mood, sleep, and memory. In particular, oscillating sinus wave sounds like the OM chant during yoga or meditative practice, or the sound of waves crashing on the ocean shore, may indeed mimic our slow delta waves that are important during deep sleep and relaxation. I also talk about monaural and binaural beats in clinical trials that investigated these different sounds on wellbeing. Tune in for all the details!
