Jirakittayakorn & Wongsawat — 6-Hz Beat
A theta-band binaural beat and frontal-midline theta measures. One frequency, one EEG question — the right scale for a claim.
Nantawachara Jirakittayakorn and Yodchanan Wongsawat report EEG responses to a 6 Hz binaural beat, with attention to frontal-midline theta. Narrow question. That is a virtue.
Who, where, when
Mahidol University biomedical engineering. Human EEG experiment.
What the work actually did
Dichotic 6 Hz stimulation, EEG features associated with theta. Read the montage, duration, and statistics in the primary paper.
What it does not prove
One beat rate is not a map of all theta. Frontal-midline theta has a working-memory and meditation literature of its own; do not glue them with a caption.
How to use this page
