Binaural Beats ?

I recently stumbled upon a concept that immediately piqued my curiosity, and I thought this would be the perfect place to discuss it.
While browsing Spotify, I came across their official "Binaural Beats" playlists for focus, sleep, and more. Intrigued, I started doing a bit of research on the topic. The idea that we could potentially "guide" our brains towards a desired mental state (relaxation, focus, etc.) simply by listening to specific frequencies through headphones is quite fascinating.
Today is my very first day testing it out, so I don't have any personal experiences to share yet. But as I've been digging into it, a specific question for us INFJs came to mind: are we, with our very particular profile, particularly receptive to this kind of stimulation?
I'm particularly thinking about our dominant Ni (Introverted Intuition), which often makes us very connected to our internal states and sensitive to atmospheres. Does this tendency towards introspection and sensitivity make us good candidates for binaural beats? Or, conversely, is our often-active mind more resistant to them?
For those who are new to this, here's a brief summary of what I've understood about the role of each type of brainwave:

    • Delta Waves (1-4 Hz): Associated with deep, dreamless sleep. The goal is total recovery.
    • Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): The state of deep meditation, intense relaxation, and heightened creativity.
    • Alpha Waves (8-13 Hz): This is the state of relaxed wakefulness, the so-called "flow" state. Ideal for stress-free learning or letting your mind wander creatively.
    • Beta Waves (14-30 Hz): The state of active concentration, alertness, and logical thinking. Perfect for working on a specific task.
    • Gamma Waves (30 Hz+): The state of "hyper-performance," rapid information processing, and high consciousness.
I would really love to hear your experiences.
 
I’ve heard it relaxes a lot of us. Personally i have tried it in the past and it hasn’t made a difference one way or another for me as i find classical music works much better at relaxing me than this does. But I feel it does too great of a job for everyone else around me to ignore its beneficial effects so I suggest it as something to try as much as I can to others.

This would require an understanding of intuition as it relates to consciousness and cognitive processing. If introverted intuition enhances a persons ability to become more aware [in a variety of ways] then you might consider the INFJ to be more "receptive." Though receptive isn't necessarily better in context. It takes wisdom to know if what you are allowing yourself to be receptive to is a positive or negative enhancement.

There's much more to this when we look at it scientifically, but I think this has focused in on your underlying question.

Or do heroic doses, if that suits your call, your need, and your proclivities.

Obviously, that recommendation scales in accordance with the drug in question. Some won’t produce any greater effect, and hyperemesis is never a good time.

Yeah, I was thinking relative to OP's descriptors of brain activity: relaxation, flow, creativity, information processing and so forth.

Ego death and six hours of existential panic are orders of magnitude beyond that, lol. (I know heroic doses aren't always bad, but I wouldn't bet on it)


In any event, I think one can instantiate most of these states a lot more easily and durably by developing rituals and altering the environment. Or just meditating, maybe.
 
Woo, we went full blown party mode. Bypassed subconscious and went straight to unconscious. Now we simply need a destination. 🎉
