The word "isochronic" means: "same time" (or repetition). Isochronic tones of sound are used to improve and optimize your brain chemistry. This technology has been scientifically proven in numerous studies to alter the brain’s natural function. The root of this of this technology was developed by a method called binaural beats. The beat is created by turning the tone on and off at regular intervals. Isochronic tones and tone based beats provide a very consistent, clear cut rhythm; they stop and start exceptionally fast allowing the brain to synchronize more easily and precisely. They produce an extremely strong response and can provide the most effective way to stimulate the brain. This is also referred to as Amplitude Entrainment. Isochronic beats are significantly more obvious and stronger. The resulting entrainment effect is much more powerful than Binaural and Monaural Beats. The intensity of the binaural beat is very small as compared to the intensity of the beat produced by the on-off switching.

The simple method behind binaural beats is to play two very similar tones, one into each ear, and the brain will be able to understand the difference between the two tones. For example, if one ear hears 400 Hz and the other ear hears 410 Hz, the person listening will create his own brainwaves towards 10 Hz a relaxed state ideal for self-hypnosis.

Isochronic pulses involve a single tone, which is turned on and off in a precise pattern to get the required results. Isochronic pulses use a rhythmic beat like a heart beat, which is very effective and gives a fast response unlike the usual binaurals which are more subtle. An Isochronic Tone has a deep waveform and can penetrate deeper into the brain. Stereo headphones must be used when listening to binaural beats but with isochronic tones we can listen using any media or speakers using stereo or mono.

Another feature of isochronic tones is that they allow you to address individually each brain hemisphere, with a different frequency, which is needed in some specific therapies and for hypnotherapy or hypnosis.
