Boosting Gamma Neural Activity using Binaural Beats

In this paper, binaural beats were used as stimuli to induce Gamma neural activity in the brains of 18 participants with the purpose to see if the effect enhanced memory and/or speech perception. Participants conducted a word-list recall task, followed by a speech-in-noise task under three conditions: before Gamma stimulus, after Gamma stimulus, and after a placebo stimulus. The results showed that the method works to boost Gamma neural activity, but that neither memory nor speech-perception was significantly affected by the stimulus. The conclusion is that binaural beats is unreliable as a method to enhance memory and speech-perception in humans.
