Subjects with low sEBR's (>20 blinks per minute)
Benefit mostly from alpha binaural beat pulses
No impairment or benefit from gamma binaural beat pulses
Subjects with higher sEBR's (<30 blinks per minute)
Do not benefit or are even impaired by binaural beat stimulation

Correlation between spontaneous-eye-blink-rate (sEBR) and striatal dopamine function.
Participants (24 first year psychology/educational studies students; 17-25 years) had their eye blink rate measured for a 5 minute control period. Each participant was tested three times over the course of three days . Test times ranged between 1pm-7pm and each subject was tested at the same time each day to reduce the variation of normal EBR fluctuation throughout the day (Reedijk S, Boulders A, Hommel B, 2013).

Music (MU)
Positive increase to Upper Alpha, Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR), and Beta waves in all tested regions (apart from upper alpha waves in the front-central region)
No significant boost to lower alpha waves
