Binaural tones

Other (objects, etc.) concept

Uses binaural tones/beats in supposed attempt to affect the player's consciousness.

Alternate name: Binaural beats

Possibly no games currently use these, but some games are in development (e.g. U55) that mention this as somehow important feature of them.

Binaural beats require headphones to function as intended, providing two low volume tones of slightly (likely in 5 to 60 Hz range) differing frequencies for each ear.
