I've just downloaded a couple of pieces of software. Neuro Programer 2 and Brainwave Generator (both on trial period) which allow you to make your own light and sound sessions. Just wondering whether there is any real difference to custom built meditations or the more expensive CDs such as holosync , Centerpointe and Mind Tek products....
I've also heard that Binaural beats are less effective than monaural beats....

Why not use just Binaural Beats?
Binaural beats have become very popular over the years, so much so that for many people the idea of "brainwave entrainment" is inseparable from them. But there are many other ways to stimulate the brain, many of which are more effective.
We use more methods than just binaural beats for many reasons:
1) Binaural beats require headphones or special speaker assignments. This can be difficult for people who do not have headphones or find them uncomfortable.
2) Binaural beats are not capable of entraining the Hemispheres individually (because they require BOTH ears). This can be a major disadvantage because many of the modern entrainment protocols used in clinical work today involve separate stimulation to each ear, useful for deeper meditation, cognitive enhancement and particularly for depression and ADD reduction.
3) Binaural beats are not as effective as more modern entrainment methods, though they do remain the most interesting. Dr. Gerald Oster, in the 1973 issue of "Scientific American", introduced binaural beats to the main stream. According to Oster, because of the way the brain processes binaural beats, the depth or intensity of the resulting "beat" is only around 3db, or 1/10th the volume of a whisper (which is why the "beats" are usually so hard to detect). He concluded that binaural beats produced very small evoked potentials within the auditory cortex of the brain, while monaural beats and other methods produced far greater potentials.
