40 Hz Frequency - For Focus, Productivity, Mental Clarity, and Concentration
Listening to 40 Hz Gamma binaural beats has been shown to improve focus, concentration, clarity, cognition, and information processing not only during the listening period but after as well.
40 Hz is great for when you really need to get in the zone and get some work done. It's definitely a favorite frequency of mine.

How do binaural beats work?
Our brains tend to play monkey-see-monkey-do with the stimuli around us. Whether that is a strobing light, a beating heart, a pulsing tone, or a binaural beat.
When you listen to a binaural beat (with headphones) a different frequency will play in your right and left ear. For example, 100 Hz in your right + 140 Hz in your left. Your brain interprets the 40 Hz difference between the two and begins to sync up with that frequency. In theory, this delivers the benefits associated with that frequency and brainwave range.
