What are binaural beats?
Neurons are sensitive to the frequency of sounds we listen to. A binaural beat happens when we listen to sounds at different frequencies in the left and right ears. The brain’s electrical activity synchronizes its neuronal activity to the difference of frequencies in what is called Frequency Following Response (FFR). For example, when someone listens to a sound in the left ear at a 140 Hz frequency and in the right ear at a 146 Hz frequency, the brain computes the difference of 6 Hz and gets entrained (that’s the technical term) on a 6 Hz brainwave.

What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment discovered in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro, initially developed for trauma treatment. During EMDR sessions, the therapist guides the client to process distressing experiences while engaging in sets of bilateral stimulations such as lateral eye movement. For more information and references, see here.
Why do I need to use earbuds or headphones?
To rip the benefits of binaural beats, one needs to listen to them on both the left and the right ears so that the brain can compute the frequency difference between the left and right ears, hence the need for earbuds or headphones.
Can you read my diary?

Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell your data.
Can I close my eyes instead of following the moving light?
To fully benefit from the therapy, we recommend following the moving light, provided this doesn't create any discomfort.
