Bilateral Hemispheric Synchronization – Equalization of the functioning of the brain hemispheres. This process occurs during succeful meditation, the Monroe Institute was able to make this process systematic with the use of binaural beats, their patented process is called Hemi-Sync.

Brainwave – Fluctuations of voltage between parts of the cerebral cortex that are detectable with an EEG.

Binaural Beats – Binaural beats or binaural tones is a technology where tones of slightly different frequencies are played separately to each ear through binaural headphones. This creates the perception of interference beats at the same rate as would be physically created. When the perceived beat frequency corresponds to the delta, theta, alpha, beta or gamma range of brainwave frequencies, this causes the brainwaves to entrain to or move towards the beat frequency (Wikipedia)
