- Hemi-Sync
Hemi-Sync is a trademarked brand name for a process developed at the
Monroe Institute , used to create audio patterns containingbinaural beats , which are commercialized in the form of audio CDs. Other companies have also created and marketed products based on the concept of binaural beats such as "Holosync" by the Centerpointe Institute.Hemi-sync is a technology developed by
Robert Monroe , founder of the Monroe Institute. Hemi-sync is short for Hemispheric Synchronization akaBrainwave synchronization . Monroe claimed that the technique synchronizes the two hemispheres of one's brain, thereby creating a 'frequency-following response' designed to evoke certain effects. Hemi-sync can allegedly be used for many purposes, including relaxation and sleep induction, learning and memory aids, helping those with physical and mental difficulties, and reachingaltered states of consciousness through the use of sound.The technique involves using sound waves to entrain brain waves. Wearing
headphones , Monroe claimed that brains respond by producing a third sound (calledbinaural beats ) that encouraged various brainwave activity changes.
