Description
Combine Mind Altering Binaural Sequences with Soothing Nature Sounds, Ambient Music, your own iTunes Music (with the built-in iTunes playlist creator), or Audio from apps like Spotify and Audio Book Readers. * Powerful Binaural Programs for Lucid Dreaming, Mindful Meditation, Dreamy Sleep, Astral Projection, Zen Meditation and much more! * Universal app with built-in UIs for iPad, iPhone/iPod Touch, iPhone 5/6/6+ * Different states of mind are associated with specific brainwave frequencies that would inaudible if played directly, but can be induced by playing two different audible binaural tones into each ear, which, after being processed by the brain, are perceived as an inaudible low frequency beat matching the target brainwave frequency. As you listen your brainwaves fall into step with this inaudible beat, and after several minutes synchronize with the target frequency.
Brain Wave Altered State uses the most advanced multi-stage binaural sequences available, combined with the flexibility to choose from a range of relaxing ambient backgrounds, other audio apps, or your own iTunes Music, allowing your mind you to relax and synchronize with your desired state. It achieves this using our unique process called Progressive Brainwave Entrainment.

Thanks for making the BrainWave Series the Top-Ranked Binaural Apps in the App Store for 14 Years! * Headphones/Earbuds must be worn for Binaural Tones to be Effective.
* To combine Brainwaves and Audio from Another App use the "Other App" or "Ambience + Other" option for the Background Mode in Background Settings.
* Added the ability to play and pause audio using Remote Controls *only* when using Brainwaves with the "Ambience Only" background mode. In modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing these controls will only affect iTunes or the other app. This is because in modes where our app allows other audio to play that other app becomes the "Now Playing" app--and there can be only one "Now Playing" app on iOS.
* If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio.

* How Brainwave Entrainment Works *
During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambient sounds, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise. It is also what allows humans to perceive the beat frequency produced by tuning forks.
As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency.
* Brainwave Frequencies *
Different states of mind will display a dominant frequency, but all brainwaves are present in a mix at all times.
Gamma waves (30-44 Hz):
Associated with high-level information processing, multi-tasking, excitement, and high energy.
High-Beta waves (18-29 Hz):
Associated with mental activities such as math, planning, and design.
Mid-Beta waves (15-17 Hz):
Increased problem-solving ability, focus, and alertness.
Low-Beta waves (12-14 Hz):
Relaxed, yet still mentally sharp
High-Alpha waves (10-11 Hz):
Relaxed, centered, tranquil
Low-Alpha waves (8-9 Hz):
Relaxed, almost meditative but still aware
Theta waves (4-7 Hz):
Associated with deep meditation, creativity, intuition, and dream-like states. Theta waves also occur during REM sleep and the early stages of deep, slow-wave sleep.
Delta waves (.5-3 Hz):
Deep, slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep allows the brain to recover from daily activities. It is important for hormonal regulation, growth, memory retention, and physical renewal.

* How Brainwave Entrainment Works *
During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambient sounds, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise. It is also what allows humans to perceive the beat frequency produced by tuning forks.
As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency.
* Brainwave Frequencies *
Different states of mind will display a dominant frequency, but all brainwaves are present in a mix at all times.
Gamma waves (30-44 Hz):
Associated with high-level information processing, multi-tasking, excitement, and high energy.
High-Beta waves (18-29 Hz):
Associated with mental activities such as math, planning, and design.
Mid-Beta waves (15-17 Hz):
Increased problem-solving ability, focus, and alertness.
Low-Beta waves (12-14 Hz):
Relaxed, yet still mentally sharp
High-Alpha waves (10-11 Hz):
Relaxed, centered, tranquil
Low-Alpha waves (8-9 Hz):
Relaxed, almost meditative but still aware
Theta waves (4-7 Hz):
Associated with deep meditation, creativity, intuition, and dream-like states. Theta waves also occur during REM sleep and the early stages of deep, slow-wave sleep.
Delta waves (.5-3 Hz):
Deep, slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep allows the brain to recover from daily activities. It is important for hormonal regulation, growth, memory retention, and physical renewal.

* Headphones/Earbuds are Required for Binaural Tones to be Effective as the Left Ear and Right Ear Audio must be isolated for the Brain to perceive the inaudible low-frequency difference between the two sides. ** Changes to Orientation Support: With the upcoming arrival of several new devices with new screen-sizes and aspect ratios, iOS 8 required a re-write of our iPhone and iPad UI to support these devices, and as part of that, we have returned the app to a Portrait-only view for now. Once we know what these future screen dimensions and Aspect Ratios are, and have time to work with the real devices, we can implement a new Landscape UI for the iPad.
* New Features: Three New Atmospheric Music backgrounds, One new Natural Beach Surf Background, 4 new Gentle Alarm Sounds. A new Shuffle/Repeat feature for iTunes Music Backgrounds and updated, larger Retina buttons.

2013-10-09
* Supports iOS 5.0 and higher * Thanks for making Brain Wave Altered States a Top Seller for 4 years! This update include a ton of new features, including the ability to use your iTunes Music as the background and Alarm Audio, support for running another audio app simultaneously, such as a web or ebook reader, and UI updates for iOS 7.
- Updated UI for iOS 7
- Added the ability to create a playlist of your own iTunes library music and use it as the background. The behavior of the app when iTunes music is used instead of the included ambience is slightly different so please review the help. Notably, unlike our included ambience which can be played at a volume below the device volume, iTunes music can only be played at the device volume. So when playing iTunes music the Ambience volume slider disappears.
- Added the ability to toggle whether the Stop and Pause buttons should fade down the audio or stop it immediately.
- Enabled the use of your own iTunes Music for the Alarm Audio.
- Added a new Save Preferences feature that allows you to Save, Load, or Restore to Default, the preferences for each program. This saves duration, alarm, background preferences, and even a separate playlist for each program.
- Added a toggle to the Custom Duration Menu that allows you to set the custom duration by duration or time.
- Improved Fade-Down/Fade-Up between stages.
- Users with Hypnosis, Meditation and Affirmation audio in their iTunes library have asked in the past that they be able to combine that audio with our Binaural Tones and Ambience, so we've enabled that as well. Be sure to review the help to understand all the ways the app can be combined with other audio.

Works for me!
I’ve never used a binaural beat or brainwave app before. I heard it helps with relaxation and sleep, two areas I have problems with. I’m a severe insomniac and find it hard to relax at night, but this app really helps! When I listen to certain states, I feel all tingly. I’ve never done astral projection before but I was able to achieve it the first time I used that brainwave program! I was able to fall asleep within 30 minutes and was able to recall much of my dreams once I woke up. Cheers to a healthy sleep schedule!

I love this app! I use it a few times everyday including waking up and bedtime.
I listen to it on n 15 min increments,
which is how I pace my morning activities. Periodically the timer doesn't start (or it will stop after :15 seconds), which I don’t discover until 20 or 30 mins. Also, when changing the timer (ex from 15 mins to 5 mins) the timer wont change. You have to press play and then change it. The timer has also randomly changed to 2 hours a few times.

Jennlds,
Works!
These apps are so dynamic, allowing you to select your own background music or selecting from many great calming sounds.
You don’t need to wear earphones. I put speakers under my bed and go to sleep with it, wake up with it and sometimes put in on in the background while I’m working. The levels allow you to turn up or down either the music or the vibrations.
Sleep is better quality and I’ve started remembering my dreams again. I can use it to focus or get motivated in the morning.

Meditation is one of the most important parts of my day and I intend to bring to it all I can to make it as impactful, enjoyful, and accessible as possible. When I meditate I run 3 apps at the same time, blending each capability for a fuller experience. Altered States is the central app that allows the other 2 apps to flow seamlessly together

One of the Most Helpful Apps On My Phone
Here’s my experience with this app; I hope it helps. I’m a happy long-time user of various versions of this app (I just downloaded the altered states version but it wasn’t until I carefully read all of the information provided by the developer
Amercado73,
Love this app
I use this app every day (almost all day). The fact that I can add my own music to it I am able to listen to audiobooks and or affirmations in the background while still having the benefits of the brainwave technology.
It’s a win win for me.
Thank you!!

This has become a daily tool for me
I can’t say enough about this app. I use it nearly daily - sometimes to set up my day with a morning meditation- and some times to help me process through afternoon fatigue
APaPaO,
Brainwave Apps
Great apps when used alone, give a five. Flexibility to add other backgrounds makes it a five plus! Customization like adding different flavors and toppings to original vanilla made with high quality bean! Invent!
North Idaho Niel,
Love it but...
Love the app but wish i had better info about each one. Is there one specifically to increase neuron utilization or for A.D.D.?
I’d also love to be able to create different saved programs per app and rename them. Looking forward to the next update.

Lots of options
Easy to use, lots of different combinations, I use it everyday to either meditate or while working on my computer.
