explain this please
http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/SamanthaCharles.shtm <- Basic Understanding of the Brain Wave Frequency Range
So for example what binaural beats will do is flow music at, lets say, 10,000hz in your left ear and 10,008hz in your right ear. So essentially the 10,000hz will cancel each other out and the brain will pick up on the 8hz and mimic it putting you into the alpha range. I'm sure it gets more complicated than this, but this is just my basic understanding of how it works.
The most published on this area would probably be the Monroe Institute. Basically they have produced a product called HemiSync that uses binaural beats into helping the brain attune to desired frequency range. Most of their research, or atleast my understanding of it, go towards helping people with learning disabilities by attuning their brains into proper frequencies for learning. They have been pretty successful and schools are picking this type of program up to help students.
Here's a link to their site,

Of course they produce audio for different types of effects. I've only been using it for a couple of days so I can't comment on its full effectiveness, but I have been getting a lot better sleep.
