Abstract The aim of the present study was to identify cognitive alterations, as indicated by event-related potentials (ERPs), after one month of daily exposure to theta binaural beats (BBs) for 10 minutes. The recruited healthy subjects (n = 60) were equally divided into experimental and control groups. For a month, the experimental group was required to practice BBs listening daily, while the control group did not. ERPs were assessed at three separate visits over a span of one month, with a two-week interval between each visit. At each visit, ERPs were measured before and after listening. The auditory and visual ERPs significantly increased the auditory and visual P300 amplitudes consistently at each visit. BBs enhanced the auditory N200 amplitude consistently across all visits, but the visual N200 amplitude increased only at the second and third visits. Compared to the healthy controls, daily exposure to BBs for two weeks resulted in increased auditory P300 amplitude. Additionally, four weeks of BBs exposure not only increased auditory P300 amplitude but also reduced P300 latency. These preliminary findings suggest that listening to BBs at 6 Hz for 10 minutes daily may enhance certain aspects of cognitive function. However, further research is needed to confirm these effects and to understand the underlying mechanisms. Identifying the optimal duration and practice of listening to 6 Hz BBs could potentially contribute to cognitive enhancement strategies in healthy individuals. |
