+cat << EOF
+Gnaural is a multi-platform programmable binaural-beat generator, implementing
+the principle of binaural beats as described in the October 1973 Scientific
+American article "Auditory Beats in the Brain" (Gerald Oster). There has been
+considerable research done on the subject since that publication, and WinAural
+(an early version in the Gnaural lineage) was used as the audio stimulus for at
+least one published study, "The Induced Rhythmic Oscillations of Neural
+Activity in the Human Brain", D. Cvetkovic, D. Djuwari, I. Cosic (Australia),
+from Proceeding (417) Biomedical Engineering - 2004.
+
+The central theme of Oster's article is that processesing of auditory binaural
+beats bears distinct differences from that done for normal sound, emphasizing
+different neural pathways and highlighting different parameters of the sound
+stimulus.
+
+Oster's observations inspired a wave of research in to the ways in which
+binaural beats could affect the brain. One area of research explored how
+binaural beats could evoke a "frequency-following response" (also known as
+"brainwave entrainment") in EEG measures. My personal interest in binaural
+beats has centered almost exclusively around exploring this entrainment
+potential as a means of facilitating meditative states. However, Gnaural was
+designed to be neutral with regard to any hypothesis or application, relying
+strictly on the fundamental findings as described in Oster's 1973 overview.
