Are Isochronic Tones The Best Brainwave Entrainment Method?
Would you like to tap into your full physical, mental and spiritual potential? If so, brainwave entrainment technologies – like binaural beats or isochronic tones – might be able to help.
But which type is best? A lot of people recommend using isochronic tones for the best results, but is this correct? Let’s take a look at isochronic tones in more detail, and see if they’re always the best choice.
What is Brainwave Entrainment?
In case you’re not already familiar with it, when using brainwave entrainment, you expose the brain to a rapidly pulsing stimulus, such as sound or light waves. Because of a natural phenomenon called the ‘frequency following response’, the brain has a tendency to match its own brainwave output to the frequency of the stimulus.
Why Is This Important?
Basically, brainwaves of specific frequencies are linked with different states of consciousness and mental and physical effects. So by using brainwave entrainment to encourage the brain to produce brainwaves in particular frequency ranges, you have an efficient way to change your mental state relatively quickly and easily, without the need to spend years practising difficult mind control methods.
Why Choose Isochronic Tones?
Isochronic tones are a type of sound-based brainwave entrainment (others include binaural beats and monaural beats). 
With isochronic tones, you hear rapidly repeating sound pulses, which are separated by a distinct interval of silence. Binaural and monaural beats are less clearly separated, and for this reason many believe that isochronic tones are more effective, since the brain is entrained more efficiently by the distinct sound pulses.
Another advantage of isochronic tones is that – unlike binaural beats – you don’t have to use headphones to listen to them. So this makes them convenient to use when you don’t have headphones handy, or you’re unable to use them for some reason.
When Not To Use Isochronic Tones
Despite their advantages however, isochronic tones aren’t always the best brain wave entrainment method. In particular, they’re often recommended against for delta meditation (delta waves are very low frequency brainwaves of up to about 4Hz).
Many people find that isochronics don’t work as well in this range, perhaps because when the tones are slowed down to this extent, they can become somewhat unpleasant to listen to, and end up being distracting rather than relaxing. Unfortunately, unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones can’t be completely masked with music or sound effects, because they need to be audible to be effective.
Now, it’s always a good idea to experiment and see how things work for you, since everyone’s different, and brainwave entrainment meditation is a very subjective experience. Just be aware that many have found binaural beats to be the best choice for delta work.
For other purposes though, isochronic tones are often regarded as the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment. But try all of the methods (binaural, monaural and isochronic) for yourself, and if you’re really keen you might also want to try out a ‘mind machine’
One downside of using isochronic tones is that they’re a relatively new technology, and as such aren’t yet as well known or widely available as binaural beats. However, you can find top quality isochronic recordings over at The Unexplainable Store. This is a highly reputable site and is very popular, and all of their isochronic tones and other recordings are fully guaranteed. You can also get some samples to try for free. I personally really like their alpha and theta meditation recordings (without music).
