        This systematic review is dedicated to deepening the study of two phenomena: binaural beats and isochronic tones. Data from the scientific literature suggest the existence of a promising therapeutic potential in neurology and psychophysiology due to their influence on specific frequencies of brain waves and their implications for mental health and homeostasis of brain neurotransmitters. Prolonged audio stimuli in repetitive and synchronized manner may induce changes in brain waves patterns and, consequently, modulating neurophysiological, and behavioral responses. The literature review was conducted using PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILLACS, and SCIENCE DIRECT online platforms using the search words: "audio brain entrapment', '"auditory beat stimulation, ""binaural beats',""brainwave entrainment (BWE)','and "isochronic tones'.'The search yielded 674 studies, of which 49 were in duplicate, and 592 were out of the scope of this review, and, therefore, were excluded from the study. The remaining studies were analyzed according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews, resulting in 33 randomized, controlled clinical trials that were then evaluated by the Jadad scale. From that, 17 studies obtained a score of three points or more on the Jadad scale. These studies were fully read and critically analyzed. Binaural beats were used in 15 studies (88.25%), whereas isochronic tones were used only in two studies (11.76%). Although most of the studies reviewed here indicated audio BWE effectiveness, some positive outcomes may require further investigation, with more refined and appropriate evaluation tools, better suited for each specific type of intervention and/or therapeutic target. Considering these limitations, the performance of additional studies with more adequate experimental design and data analysis is recommended, particularly focusing on the neurophysiological and behavioral effects of brain wave entrainment on mental states.
        Esta revisión sistemática está dedicada a profundizar en el estudio de dos fenómenos: latidos binaurales y tonos isocrónicos. Los datos de la literatura científica sugieren la existencia de un potencial terapéutico prometedor en neurología y psi-cofisiología debido a su influencia en frecuencias específicas de ondas cerebrales y sus implicaciones para la salud mental y la homeostasis de los neurotransmisores cerebrales; los estímulos de audio repetitivos y sincronizados pueden inducir cambios en los patrones de ondas cerebrales y modular las respuestas neurofisiológicas. La revisión de la literatura se realizó con plataformas en línea PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILLACS y SCIENCE DIRECT, con las palabras de búsqueda: "arrastre cerebral de audio""estimulación del ritmo auditivo', "ritmos binaurales","arrastre de ondas cerebrales"y "tonos isocrónicos". La búsqueda produjo 674 estudios, de los cuales 49 estaban duplicados y 592 estaban fuera del alcance de esta revisión y fueron excluidos. Los estudios restantes se analizaron de acuerdo con el Manual Cochrane de Revisiones Sistemáticas, que tuvo como resultado 33 ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorios que fueron evaluados por la escala de Jadad. A partir de esto, 17 estudios obtuvieron una puntuación igual o superior a tres puntos y fueron leídos íntegramente y analizados críticamente. Los tonos binaurales se utilizaron en 15 estudios (88. 25%) y los tonos isocrónicos sólo en 2 estudios (11. 76%). Aunque la mayoría de los estudios revisados demuestran la eficacia del arrastre de ondas cerebrales, algunos resultados pueden requerir más investigación con herramientas más refinadas y apropiadas, para cada intervención y/u objetivo terapéutico. Teniendo en cuenta estas limitaciones, se recomienda que se lleve a cabo un diseño experimental y análisis de datos más adecuados, centrándose en los efectos neurofisiológicos del arrastre de ondas cerebrales y los estados mentales.
