English to Polish Science Physics
Próbuję znaleźć polski odpowiednik dla 'entrainment', jako efektu działania dudnienia różnicowego (binaural beats). Tekst na temat relaksacyjnego programu I-Doser:


"The mechanism behind binaural beats is very simple — on the face of it, at least. Two pure sine-wave tones are fed to the brain, one in each ear. For example, you could play a 200Hz tone to the left ear, and a 210Hz tone to the right ear. The end result, as far as the listener is concerned, is that they hear a tone of 205Hz but pulsating or ‘beating’ at a frequency of 10Hz. This 10Hz stimulation is what leads to the entrainment. This could be viewed as simple wave interference, but actually it is a lot more complex than that because the sound waves never get to mix in the air. "

"Directional hearing is a very low-level, primitive function of the brain, and the centres dedicated to it are right on the brain stem (the ‘superior olivary complex’). This means that causing a beating stimulation here with binaural beats has the potential to cause entrainment effects quite different to those produced by light glasses or other methods of entrainment. "

"I’ve heard from Buddhist monks who found that binaural beats took them to places in consciousness that required years of meditation to reach by normal means. But again this sounds better than it is — they were practiced meditators, so they could follow the guide provided by the beats to reach those places. Someone who is not practiced in meditation would fall asleep or pop out of entrainment under the same conditions. "

Example sentence:

Brainwave entrainment or "brainwave synchronization", is any practice that aims to cause brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep), usually

Synchronizacja fal mózgowych (ang. Brainwave synchronization) – to hipotetyczny proces synchronizacji pracy dwóch półkul mózgu.
