Habituation

Professionally engineered entrainment audio can outperform simple binaural files because it designs transitions, interruptions, timing, and layered cues. In entrainment programming, sound patterns should shift every three to five seconds to keep the brain tracking effectively. Brainwave entrainment programs need regular changes because the brain habituates to unchanging stimuli. Effective entrainment stimuli must be consistent enough to entrain but varied enough to avoid being ignored.
