The 9Hz Effect

There has recently been some experimentation with the 9Hz frequency as it relates to lucid dreaming. Researcher Thomas Yuschak has released a paper detailing the idea that 9Hz bursts of brainwave activity correspond to periods of lucidity. The link can be found here:

I have created a preset in Brainwave Generator that alternates between 9Hz and 5Hz, with the 9Hz peaks appearing every 2.5 minutes. With this preset are also two tracks from Stephen LaBerge's "Trance Induction of Lucid Dreaming" tape. The two tracks run simultaneously, one in each channel (the left and right). The first track is the "Trance Induction of Lucid Dreaming" track, the second is "Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams".

As I fall asleep I focus on the binaural beat progression itself, while being aware of the two tracks playing in each ear separately. I have posted some results on another website but will put the full 30 day results up here when completed.
