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

#22As the primary goal is to listen to the music, I do really appreciate the fact that the webpage stops its graphics animations when it loses the focus. It is great to improve my focus as I am not disturbed by my waving cpu meter. Great work, love it.

Thanks a ton!

#25I would argue that 90% of the benefit of this music is just from the extended intervals of contiguous playing, so there's no "break" disruption. I think any DJ (esp. deep house) worth half their salt can get someone "in the zone" for half an hour at a time. And artists devoted to minimalist ambient or trambient can get you going for hours straight.
Honestly the "Focus: Intense" or whatever I find super annoying. It's got this constant anxious buildup feel to it and never fucking breaks into what I would consider that peak when I start playin my keyboard like a goddamn piano.
Basically, no fucking way would I even consider shelling out an additional Spotify subscription for some "high tech" whale song machine.

Hi there, we don't use binaural beats. Or isochronic tones. Our CTO (Adam Hewett) is the founder of Transparent Corp. His older software is used to create the vast majority of isochronic tones, and all those videos you see on youtube, etc. Any rhythmic audio stimulus will entrain the brain. Actually, the very first research on audio brainwave stimulation used simple clicks. As another example if you had a drummer tha…
So you're saying that minimal techno is actually good for you? I don't believe it ;)

#29I have used white noise or waves for a long time to drown out outdoor noise around me.
My initial start with this kind of stuff was listening to various stations on somafm.
I like finding music that fits well in the background, isn't too engaging or something I'm familiar with, and hopefully devoid of vocals so I kept looking and came across a few instrumental tracks on itunes.
There's maybe a reason babies benefit from wave/sleep machines. White noise does have an effect that can aid in focus and concentration, science, placebo, or otherwise, I'm happy for the sustained productivity boost I've been able to have for several years.
I did buy brain.fm on a whim a while back it has replaced simplynoise or more to that point. If there was a bit more information published on how it was put together I'd be interested, and if not, I'd probably keep using it.
Would like it to be a downloadable or app that I could keep with me. Some things aren't for those who can't put themselves in other people's shoes, or imagine something may work for others that doesn't seem to be imaginable or work for them.
