Abstract

A method and apparatus is presented for acoustically stimulating the brain by generating primary and secondary acoustical signals having differing characteristics. The signal differential thereby creates a tertiary signal or third wave. A user is able to interactively adjust the characteristics of the third wave by adjusting the characteristics of the primary and/or secondary signals to benefit or ameliorate a specific human condition.
