EEG and EKG data have shown a reduction of neural noise during exposure to various levels of noninvasive binaural beat transmission. Tests have shown that neural response activities are triggered by applying binaural beat music effects from two separate tones of an audio program with identical beats being played at minutely separate starting times. To learn more about this technology and new devices that are in development to improve the quality of life for Parkinson's patients, read the article on page 12.
