I know this article is about google but I only had a good Apple anecdote so there you are.

I truly truly wish you the best of luck in your futile endeavor. My wife HATES all her apple products but still won't switch. Similarly, while I love Macbooks, iPhones make me sick…

No. I would give the same advice to an 18 year old. I can't speak for aerospace, but can expertly speak on BCI, medtech and AI. And bank security. What I would honestly recommend d…

Giovanni responded to the main thread. I asked him to respond to this specifically but he's super busy. This is his response: "He doesn't know what he is talking about. Means do no…

We did a randomized controlled trial :) https://www.brain.fm/pdfs/EEGFocusAnalysis.pdf It's pending publication, but it'll get there. And now we have enough info to start a double …

Hey, thanks! I appreciate that. I played classical guitar as a kid - still do. And Bach is definitely a favorite, though one of the most difficult. You just know he composed those …

I didn't make up the term "emergent." AFAIK it's an established type of AI. http://chetansurpur.com/blog/2013/08/emergent-intelligence.h... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#…

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Was wondering if I was going crazy.

Completely agree! We're on it. :) Definitely don't want you to be wary of the skip button. That's an important feature. You should love the music you're playing. So here's a pro-ti…

So much inspiration in this thread. I mentioned this further down the page, but it's a hobby of mine to ask what music people work to. This is a goldmine for me. Thanks a lot for p…

Great, so glad it's helping! Wait till you get the headphones... a whole new level. Keep me updated. I had Aaron get in touch with you but please feel free to send me any updates d…

OK fair enough, I'll see if we can get a better one then. Honest to god we just used a standard one we got over a decade ago, and customized it with our name. We might have even go…

This is actually great feedback. I can definitely create some trance, house, etc. There is techno/electronic music already in there, but only at around 120bpm, and probably won't b…

Hey, great question, though I'm not sure if you want the audio or neurological explanation, or both :) I'm also not sure how technical you want or how much you know already, so apo…

It's actually a very very good result for the tests we did. A similar study using a boatload of caffeine couldn't reach statistical significance. Also I believe strongly that if we…

It's actually a really good result, for a number of reasons. But I'll let Giovanni respond to this later and clarify (he's the neuroscientist that wrote the paper). I apologize for…

Glad you enjoyed it! Not to add to your expenses, but definitely invest in some "sleep phones." I like the Took's brand, and it's the cheapest. You can lay completely on your side …

Hey, happy to answer that. Do a page find for the word "emergent" here and you should find it. I've explained it a few times, though briefly. I did a write-up of it a while back th…

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! There is discussion about extending the trial, and I agree completely. And we're almost done with both the iPhone app and the Android app…

Thanks, yeah I had thought of that. I think it could potentially be useful in lots of different ways. Right now though it's very much geared toward this specific purpose. Much of i…

It's just a standard TOS, man. Here's the Terms Of Service for Yale: I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING ANY WRITTEN CONFIRMATION STATEMENTS PROVIDED TO ME (ON PAPER OR IN ELECTRONIC FO…

Hey, thanks haha, I know I shouldn't be surprised by now, now it's still funny to me that I am sending a heartfelt thanks to a one "slagfart" :)

Hey, no problem. Not trying to "prime" you here, this is just how I talk. I'm not that strategic. If you think it would help, I'd be happy to get on a call/skype? I just feel like …

Hey man, about to respond to your other question, but there was a similar question earlier so thought I'd just take this one first. Here's a bibliography we're still working on. Mo…

Ah, well, glad it worked then :)
