What Binaural Beats should I listen to?

[Gecko]

Hi, I just joined this forum today.

My question is should I listen to Gamma Wave, Alpha Wave or Theta Wave binaural beats as I meditate?

My goal with my meditation is to keep my mind healthy and help increase my intelligence, so which type of binaural beats would be best for that?

Thanks

@Gecko If you're just starting out, use theta waves and take a power nap afterwards and see how you feel.

I think theta is the major meditation state. I started my meditation practice by listening to stuff like this:  

You obviously need headphones for the binaural aspect to do any good. I listen to this once a week or so, but have left it in the past for the most part. It was very helpful for the first couple months.

What is the difference between the different waves? 

I am going to give this a real try. 

I like listening to the Delta waves.

They are supposed to put your brain into that specific wave pattern. Here's a very short breakdown of the various brain waves:
