Very little: Binaural beats (two slightly different tones played slightly out of phase) are purported to cause euphoria, allow people to overcome bad habits, and improve emotional well being. A study conducted by Goldsmiths, University of London showed no difference between binaural beats and placebo, so any claims made about them should be viewed with skepticism. Hope this helps!
