  Scientific Overview of Brainwave Entrainment
Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain's electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light.
The principles of entrainment are universal, appearing in chemistry, neurology, biology, pharmacology, medicine, astronomy and more.
A clock is a simple example of a system responding to entrainment, but the same rules apply to more complex systems such as the brain.

  Entrainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entrainment is the process whereby two connected oscillating systems, having similar periods, fall into synchrony.
Christian Huygens, a notable physicist, coined the term entrainment after he noticed, in 1666, that two pendulum clocks had moved into the same swinging rhythm, and subsequent experiments duplicated this process.
In the realm of physics, entrainment appears to be related to resonance.

An early brain entrainment device, used by Russian psychiatrists, is the LIDA (LEE-dah) machine, which is a simple, 40 megahertz medical band transmitter, generating a pulsing signal of 40 watts, adjustable from zero to 100 pulses per second.
However, entrainment can, if applied with appropriate power and frequency, seriously degrade the ability of targetted people to function, and by using the higher radio frequencies, can be focussed into a fairly narrow beam.

Degrees of entrainment are the amount of information needed by multiple systems to maintain their phase relationships, or entrainment.
Using the example of dance, harmonic entrainment is like when dancers move simultaneously to several beats with different parts of their body; i.e., their arms may move on the quarternote, their hips on the halfnote (or 2 and 4 of the quarters) and so on.

 Head-Heart Entrainment: A Preliminary Survey
As the heart approaches its first major ordered mode of functioning (entrainment), both the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system shift their power into the mid frequency range (~ 0.1 Hz) in the HRV power spectrum which is associated with the baroreceptor feedback loop between the heart and brain.
In the entrainment mode of heart function, power in the MF region of the HRV frequency spectrum is greatly increased indicating increased neural traffic in the baroreceptor system.
The entrainment between the HRV waveform and the low frequency portion of the EEG reported here was observed in subjects who have been practicing the FF technique for some time and, thus, can consistently demonstrate an increased ratio of time in the heart entrainment mode and shift to this mode at will.

The first tuning fork is said to have entrained the second or caused it to resonate.
Synchronized brain waves have long been associated with meditative and hypnogogic states, and audio with embedded binaural beats has the ability to induce and improve such states of consciousness.
This state is often referred to as hypnogogia "mind awake/body asleep." Slightly higher-frequency entrainment can lead to hyper suggestive states of consciousness.

 Air entrainment and HPC
Some states do not require air entrainment on the basis that girders are protected by the deck and are never really exposed sufficiently to moisture or deicing salts.
A conservative approach is to provide air entrainment in HSC girders that are exposed to moisture prior to freezing, but in a lesser amount than required by ACI 318.

 Brainwave synchronization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As authors have stated, "the functional brain connectivity has become one of the most influential concepts in modern cognitive neuroscience, especially given the current shift in emphasis from studies of functional segregation to studies of functional integration."
Brainwave synchronization (entrainment) may be achieved when audio signals are introduced to the brain causing a response directly related to the frequency of the signal introduced, called binaural beats.
Two tones close in frequency generate a beat frequency at the difference of the frequencies, which is generally subsonic.

 The Science Of Binaural Beat Brainwave Entrainment Technology - for meditation relaxation stress management
Resonant entrainment of oscillating systems is a well-understood principle within the physical sciences.
If a tuning fork designed to produce a frequency of 440 Hz is struck (causing it to oscillate) and then brought into the vicinity of another 440 Hz tuning fork, the second tuning fork will begin to oscillate.
This perceptual phenomenon of binaural beating and the objective measurement of the frequency-following response (Hink, Kodera, Yamada, Kaga, and Suzuki, 1980) suggest conditions which facilitate entrainment of brain waves and altered states of consciousness.

 Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Visuddha - The Throat Chakra
Sound waves are subject to a principle called resonance, also known as "rhythm entrainment" or "sympathetic vibration." Resonance is what occurs when sound waves of similar frequency meet—they lock into phase, with their vibrations oscillating at the same time.
That which is in phase tends to remain in phase; hence, the interlocking of vibrational waves creates the ongoing harmony and substance that we experience in the world.
Studies have shown that regardless of the content of words used, listeners and speakers enter into a rhythm entrainment as they converse.

A review of historical entrainment studies indicated that a sampling frequency of one day per week during periods of peak entrainment was by far the most frequently used design.
Using data from an intensive entrainment monitoring program conducted at the Indian Point Generating Station on the lower Hudson River, New York over the period 1983-1987, five different sampling scenarios were simulated involving monthly, biweekly, and weekly sampling frequency, fixed and random sampling date selection, and a variety of sampling intensities.
Precision of annual estimates of entrainment was strongly influenced by both sampling frequency and the density of organisms entrained.
