Abstract

The application of binaural beat (BB), as a type of non-invasive auditory beat stimulation, has been considered for its potential applications in cognitive domains. This review presents a detailed summary and aims to deepen our understanding of the soundness of BB technique by looking into its applications, possible mechanisms of action, the effectiveness, limitations, and possible side effects of the technique. BB has been claimed to improve cognitive and psychological functions such as memory, attention, stress, anxiety, motivation, and confidence. We have also looked into preclinical and clinical researches that have been performed using BB and proposed changes in the brain following the application of BB stimulations including EEG changes. The review also presents applications outside cognitive domain and evaluates BB as a possible treatment method.
