Delta States: A Lecture and Bilateral Listening Session

Delta States: A Lecture and Bilateral Listening Session with Brittany Bueno & Collin Davis from Evidence Based Music

In the Lecture Room!

Delta brainwave activity is a foundational component of human sleep physiology and is most prominently expressed during the deepest stages of non-REM sleep. Delta states are associated with reduced cortical arousal, slowed neural oscillations, and large scale synchronization across brain regions.

This event examines delta activity within the broader context of brainwave states and sleep cycles, and explores how bilateral auditory stimulation can be used to engage delta-range activity through sound. The lecture portion will introduce core brainwave states, with a focus on the delta state, its role across different stages of sleep, and the research informing its study.

Released on March 13th in observance of World Sleep Day, Bueno Brain Entrainment, Vol. 1: Delta will be presented as an integrated listening work, outlining the album’s structure, the function of each track, and the use of binaural tones designed to support delta activity through bilateral listening.

Following a short break, attendees will take part in a bilateral listening session drawn from the album, experienced through stereo headphones and intended for sustained, focused auditory engagement. The event concludes with a brief period for questions and closing remarks.

Duration: Approximately 90 minutes

Please note: This gathering has limited capacity. Advance RSVP is required.

What to bring:

BYO cushions, eye masks, pillows, and mats.

(A limited selection of eye masks, blankets, and pillows will be available.)
