Binaural beating occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar frequencies are presented one to each ear.
The brain integrates the two signals, producing a sensation of binaural beating.
The binaural beat is conveyed from each superior olivary nuclei to the reticular formation, which initiates changes in brainwave activity.

Summary
Used in conjunction with a multidimensional approach of socialpsychological conditioning and education, special binaural beat mixes safely provide access to many beneficial first-person experiences of the surrounding world, of the self, and of ones thoughts and feelings.
Each tubulin molecule may switch between two (or more) conformations and, it is proposed, each tubulin can also exist in quantum superposition of both conformational states.
Consciousness:
an awareness of the surrounding world, of the self, and of ones thoughts and feelings
Consciousness:
A process of events* occurring in a wide, basic field leading to: an awareness of the world, of the self, and of ones thoughts and feelings
*These events may be comparable to quantum state reductions (Shimony, 1993).
The Penrose - Hameroff model of orchestrated objective reduction (Orch OR) proposes that:
Quantum superposition/computation occur in microtubule automata within brain neurons. Tubulin subunits within microtubules act as qubits, switching between states on a nanosecond (10-9 sec) scale governed by quantum London forces.
Tubulin qubits interact computationally by nonlocal quantum entanglement according to the Schrodinger equation. Pre-conscious processing continues until the threshold for objective reduction (OR) is reached by E = h/T*.
*E is the gravitational self-energy of the superposed mass separated from itself, h is Planck's constant divided by 2pi, and T is the coherence time until collapse occurs.
At that instant collapse, or OR occurs which is an actual event in fundamental space-time geometry. This event selects a particular configuration of Planck-scale experiential geometry, enacting a moment of awareness, occasion of experience, or conscious event.
A sequence of OR events provides a forward flow of subjective time and "stream" of consciousness.
During the pre-conscious quantum superposition/computation phase, tubulin oscillations are tuned and orchestrated by microtubuleassociated proteins (MAPs), providing a feedback loop between the biological system and the quantum state (hence Orch OR).
Certain environments (e.g., anesthetic gas molecules) associated with critical brain proteins prevent normally occurring London forces, protein conformational dynamics, and superposition necessary for consciousness. Other environments promote and sustain superposition, expanding consciousness (e.g., psychedelic hallucinogens).

Geometric Arrays
Consciousness requires a critical degree of quantum coherence in parallel arrayed neuronal microtubules (1018 tubulin electrons). This critical degree allows a prediction as to what evolutionary level of neural complexity will result in consciousness.
geometry is the morphogenic structure behind reality itself, underlying even mathematics. it is actually shape that generates all the laws of physics.
