Self improvement experimental vs. science
Concept of self improvement has been exist since the existence of human. The difference is that in the old days the knowledge of self improvement was based on experimental result - basically actual experience. People learn from other people experience and deduce the reason why certain thing happen. Why some people become rich while others dont? Some smarter than the other? The best example of this is the book by Napoleon Hill - Think And Grow Rich. This book is created based on Hill's deduction on experiences of 22 richest people at that time. Yes I am still interested with this type of self improvement material, but my interest is more on how self improvement can benefit from our latest sciencetific knowledge about human mind and available technology. For example the invention of the EEG machine that able to show the brainwave activities of human mind during certain time, and condition has helped with the advancement in using brainwave entrainment to help conditioning our brain for certain type of activity.

- Article On Isochronic Tone
- The article describes why isochronic tone can be more effective medium for brainwave entrainment.
Use Of Isochronic Tones In Brainwave Entrainment (BWE)
For starting - my most successful article on brainwave entrainment and isochronic tones
Here it is:
If you are familiar with brainwave entrainment, you will know that the normal method is to use binaural beats, but new studies have shown that infact the use of isochronic tone is more effective for brainwave entrainment.
What is isochronic tone? And how can it be more effective than binaural beats ?
While binaural beats use sound with different phase for different ear, isochronic tone is created by evenly space burst of tones. Because of this, entrainment using isochronic tone does not require the use of headphone.
One of the major shortcomings of binaural beats are that they require the use of both ears, and special speakers (headphone) assignment. The requirement to use both ears also limit the use with some methodologies which do specific are stimulus - not both side of the ears.
Isochronic tone also has its own shortcoming. First, in order for isochronic to retain its full effect, both tones must have the same amplitude. Second, in order for them to produce any significant BWE isochronic tones must be at a suitable volume - loud enough for the listener to hear a noticeable modulation in the tones.
On higher level, isochronic tone falls under brainwave entrainment (BWE), not cortical evoked response (CER). What is the different between the two, you might ask?
In CER the stimulus is trigger less frequent - below four hertz (four times per second). At this level the brain response does not fall into synchronization mode. Once the frequency is faster as in isochronic tone, the brain start to follow the stimulus pattern. When this happen, the stimulus is categorized as entrainment.
A counter partner method to isochronic tone is photic stimulation - where light instead of sound is used. In photic stimulation normally a goggle with LEDs is used. The LEDs flashes in specific frequency like strobe lights.
For the rest of the articles refer to my link section.
