Additionally, creativity is influenced by mood, but the relationship between binaural beats and creativity is inconclusive. Previous research has shown that meditation and binaural beats can affect mood and cognition, but their effectiveness may vary. However, the study found no significant effects of binaural beats on mood or creativity. Participants listened to either binaural beats with rainforest sounds or rainforest sounds alone. This study examined the effects of binaural beats with delta and theta frequencies on mood and creativity. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion created by presenting two tones of similar frequencies separately in each ear.
