Changing our brain waves frequencies with sound is called Brain Entrainment. By measuring the impact of sound on our brain waves, the frequencies that vibrate inside the brain while we listen to various sounds, scientists can now validate that indeed various sound waves have various impacts on our brain. In this workshop we explore how composers use particular sound frequencies and music to modulate the brain requisiteness in order to affect our moods, inner imagery, and emotions and achieve improved health, well-being, deep sleep, and relaxation.
