Where can I find details of past research done on the use of binaural beats for brainwave manipulation?
Therapeutics and recreational uses especially.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the scientific name for the technique of measuring brain waves. Go to pubmed.com (a scientific literature search run by NIH) and search for "binaural beat eeg". You should get several studies although you may need to go to a university library to actually get the jounrals. In particular see: Schwartz and Taylor "Human auditory steady state responses to binaural and monaural beats." Clin Neurophysiol. 2005 Mar;116(3):658-68.

These will be quite technical.
Good luck.
