I ran across this amazingly long list of hundreds of different frequencies. The claim is that these frequencies effect different changes in mental and physical state through light, sound, or magnetic fields. I wouldn’t trust all of these frequencies, as a lot of the sources are questionable. I would think that the frequencies associated with Robert Monroe should be authentic, as he did years of research with subjects in sensory deprivation tanks, worked with sound engineers, doctors, and many professionals throughout his life. Look for the frequencies tagged with the EWI tag. A good way to sort through this is to use ctrl-f, and then type the name you want to look for. (To check out the other tags citing sources, check out the bibliography) I have no idea what the other frequencies listed might actually do, but it seems like a great playground for experimentation. These frequencies have various methods they are supposed to be administered, so not all of them are quite as easy to use, as generating electromagnetic fields is something most people don’t have the capability to do. (Thanks to Kris for the correction about methods of use) However, it’s relatively easy to create simple brainwave entrainment programs at variable frequencies.
A good choice for creating these brainwave entrainment frequencies is of course brainwave generator.The trial version lets you create your own frequencies, just not import pre-made files. I’ve posted in the past about BWGen,and some resources about how to create your own frequencies. Another option is option is SBaGen, a free brainwave program. I prefer BWGen, but SBaGen is a solid choice as well.
If you can’t figure out how to use either program, and still want to try out a particular frequency, leave a comment and I’ll try to make something to that effect. It will take me a while to get it finished though, so you’re better off trying on your own then just asking me first. Some classics in the binaural beats/brainwave entrainment field are covered in these two posts.
Happy brainwave entraining!

Hi Hatter,Mike’s list is very comprehensive. It must have taken him tons of time to compile the info from all those different sources. A lot of the frequencies are intended for non-brain-related uses (with the sound waves released through speakers or other equipment and directed at various parts of the body), rather than to trigger specific brain activity. Some of the frequencies appear to be intended for electromagnetic use rather than for sound therapy or brainwave use. Software like BWGen and SBaGen will work for some of the frequencies (anything lower than around 900HZ) but the higher frequencies are all meant for other uses.~ Kris
Hey Kris, Yeah, you’re right. I guess I was so focused on the brainwave entrainment frequncies I forgot that a large volume of these aren’t meant for that at all. Thanks for the catch!

I haven’t had the opportunity to test a Rife machine yet, but I’m fascinated by the concept of using sound and light at various frequencies to heal the body. Even NASA has recently been testing infrared light for increasing the rate of healing in wounds. There’s so much potential for development in that area of research. I know for certain that sound waves at certain frequencies can have negative effects as well. There are countless reports of industrial sound causing headaches, nausea, stomach pain, and other similar physical effects. Sometimes the sound is so low it takes months of investigation into a location before anyone realizes the sound coming from a nearby industrial building is the culprit. I experienced a similar problem myself a few months ago when I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard and felt a strange deep vibration in my house. It was strong enough to give me a stomach ache, and the discomfort was so bad I actually got in the car and drove around my neighborhood trying to locate the source of the sound. It turned out to be the result of road construction going on several miles away. The equipment they were using to stamp down the asphalt was sending vibrations through the ground all the way to my neighborhood. I couldn’t believe the source of the sound could be so far away and still cause such problems. I’m very sensitive to sound, so I tend to notice and be affected by sounds most other people don’t even notice, but it still seemed incredible to me at the time. ~ Kris
That’s pretty unbelievable that sounds from that distance could effect you. Makes you wnder how many transient illnesses might be from sound sources.
It would be rather interesting to experiment with magnetic frequencies, although I would worry somewhat about what negative effects they could cause. There has been some research in that area lately, called transcranial migration. The idea is effectively to pulse the brain with high power magnetic waves. They’ve had lots of interesting results with it too, treating depression and such. It just seems like pulsing the brain with huge magnetic fields could have other long term consequences.
