Abstract in brief

  • This pilot study explored the psychological and physiological effects of daily listening to delta binaural beats over 60 days, involving 8 healthy adults, and found improvements such as decreased trait anxiety and increased quality of life.
  • Participants showed significant reductions in anxiety and increases in well-being, along with changes in certain hormones like insulin-like growth factor-1 and dopamine, suggesting potential mental health benefits from binaural beat exposure.
  • The study aimed to assess safety, feasibility, and initial effects to guide future research, indicating that binaural beat technology could positively influence psychological states, but larger controlled studies are needed for confirmation.]
