HEMI-SYNC

'Hemi-Sync' is a trademarked brand name for a process developed at the Monroe Institute, used to create audio patterns containing binaural beats, which are commercialized in the form of audio CDs. There exist also other styles and brands of similar consequence.
Hemi-sync is a technology developed by Robert Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute. Hemi-sync is short for Hemisphere Synchronization aka Brainwave synchronization. Monroe claims the technique synchronizes the two hemispheres of one's brain, thereby creating a 'healthy balance'. Hemi-sync can allegedly be used to reach altered states of consciousness through the use of sound.
The technique involves using sound waves to entrain brain waves. Wearing headphones, or using a mind machine, Monroe claims that brains respond by producing a third sound (called a binaural beat) that he believes to encourage various brainwave activity.
The purpose of the binaural beats is to synchronize the brain waves of both hemispheres of the brain so as to help achieve certain meditative states.
