Minaural perceptual effects can occur in live sound work when multiple sound sources produce closely spaced frequencies within the same acoustic space.

As these acoustic waves interact, rhythmic interference patterns emerge — physically present in the room and perceived through the auditory and somatic system. These interactions can influence brainwave activity, autonomic regulation, and states of calm focus.

In live sound work, these effects arise through precise tuning, overtone interplay, and spatial resonance. They are not digitally generated and do not rely on ear-isolated stimulation, but unfold organically within the acoustic field and are processed by the auditory system in real time.

This internal rhythmic modulation can:

• support shifts in brainwave activity

• deepen states of presence and relaxation

• enhance emotional and somatic regulation

• open access to slower, more coherent inner states

A subtle, embodied, and powerful form of vibrational perception.
