Brainwave entrainment is the process by which the dominant brainwaves of a subject are induced to a desired frequency. Termed "frequency-following response" in the scientific literature, the process is relatively easy to accomplish and often occurs naturally. Certain types of music and many natural sounds of nature randomly accomplish this task.

Binaural beats, light machine and the BrainWave Generator are all trying to induce brainwave entrainment.

In Mega Brain, Michael Hutchison discusses the thought that the rhythmic drum beats and dancing around a flickering bonfire, popular in many ancient rituals, was an attempt to induce this phenomenon.

PA&CS

Brainwave entrainment certainly has a role to play in perception augmentation. General state of mind, as reflected in dominant brainwaves, influences perception to a significant degree. Also, the transition between states can be harnessed to elicit desired associations with other simultaneously presented stimulus.

RNES

Brainwave entrainment can be very valuable in recreational stimulation. Normal utilization of entrainment can be enjoyable in itself, but current research into the transition between frequencies has to most potential for significant effects.

R&E

You will often find literature using brainwave entrainment to fix or to improve overall mental state.
