Abstract in brief

  • Binaural auditory beats are created when two slightly different tones are played separately to each ear, producing a perceived fluctuation in amplitude that can influence brain activity and cognitive functions like memory.
  • The study tested 32 participants on how different binaural beat frequencies (beta 20Hz and theta 5Hz) and white noise affect long-term memory, using free recall and recognition tasks.
  • Results showed that beta frequency beats improved memory performance, while theta beats reduced it, indicating that binaural beats can either enhance or impair long-term memory depending on the specific frequency used.]
