Wahbeh et al. — Binaural Beat Technology: Pilot
A human pilot: neuropsychology, physiology, EEG. The genre is “we looked.” That is more useful than a guarantee and less useful than a large trial.
Helané Wahbeh, Carlo Calabrese, and Heather Zwickey ran a pilot on binaural-beat technology in humans — psychological tests, physiological measures, electroencephalography. Mid-2000s complementary-medicine journal, experimental design.
Who, where, when
Helfgott Research Institute / NCNM circle, Portland. PMID 17388762. Pilot, not a pivotal trial.
What the work actually did
They expose participants to binaural-beat audio and record a bundle of outcomes. The value is the protocol snapshot: what a serious small study bothered to measure.
What it does not prove
Pilots are for feasibility and signal-hunting. They are not confirmatory. Do not inflate a pilot into a treatment claim. Journal venue is complementary medicine — read methods, not the shelf label.
How to use this page
Steal the humility. If you self-experiment, write down duration, band, and what you actually did with your attention.
