Curious about the tech/science behind this. Is it mostly binaural beats?

They seem to distance themselves from binaural beat technology, in their About Us page: "Gerald Oster, the original researcher of binaural beats, denied it's therapeutic use cases and endorsed other audio methods as more effective"

$7/month doesn't seem too bad, at least to test out. I think I will give it a go for a bit.

The website is a bit vague about that, but they say it has nothing to do with binaural beats.

> How is this different from binaural beats (or similar tools)?

> Binaural beats is 1970s technology. It's akin to comparing dial up internet (binaural beats) to fiber optic internet (Brain.fm). The difference is advanced technology which equates to superior results. Gerald Oster, the original researcher of binaural beats, denied it's therapeutic use cases and endorsed other audio methods as more effective find the research paper on google. [1]

> Why are binaural beats so popular? They've been overhyped by marketers, not scientists.
