You achieve enlightenment and use up your 7 free sessions
You can bypass the 7 free sessions limit by using Chrome Incognito, just open a new tab each time you run out of sessions
Rude to put this out there. If anyone here couldn't have figured this out themselves then I'm curious as to how they ended up trawling HN.

#83I still can't find anything better to program to than Nujabes. I'm going to give this a genuine shot, but Jun Seba really left his mark on me for life. I find myself listening to his albums and songs at least twice a day. I think it's because of his repetitive beats, smooth strings and soft instrumentation. There's a reason there are 10 hour 'homework' edits on youtube for almost all of his songs. Counting Stars: htt…
I love Nujabes too. I also highly recommend

#84I just worked on something similar at a hackathon this weekend with the Muse Headband, it was really fun. We used a support vector machine to maximize the "calmness" output of the band, which is some weighted sum of gamma and beta waves I believe.
Is the Muse easy to hack? I was thinking of buying one to play with.
The hardest part of the weekend was getting real-time data through OSC. It's been done in Python and node before, but none of us were super proficient in getting data from the local server the scripts pushed to. This is the matlab library we eventually settled on: https://github.com/MuSAELab/muse_osc
I'd say it was pretty easy compared to Myo, but I wouldn't pay $300 for one. I'd use it again though if it was available for a weekend.

#85I believe taste/preference as the differentiator is missing.
The "intense + focus" music on brain.fm puts me to sleep. My coding music is ASOT weekly series, it's usually couple of hours of house and trance music where I get immersed into coding zone and once finished i take a 10-15min break, repeat.
When I concentrate I don't hear anything that's when I know I'm in the zone. It's my preference and it's surely different from yours, hence why the differentiator is missing.

While we are at it, the following is a selection of musicians whose work for me is both sedative and promotes focus (an oxymoron?). Ambient music usually garners a few sniggers, "this is what they play in spas" "whale music" etc, however in my experience can be an incredibly rewarding and effective method of relaxation and enjoyment.

Cannot stop listening to that Gas album. Also Ryuichi Sakamoto has a golden touch. See Loscil, Lawrence English, Nest for more of this kind of music

#87I have a background in music composition, so ANY music I listen to...no matter what, distracts me, since part of me is decomposing it.
It's taken several years, but I've conditioned myself to enter high focus mode by listening to white noise. Self conditioning is, I think, the key part for me at least.

#88I like this a lot but, in my opinion, the pricing is way too high and keeps me from giving you money.
I'd buy it as a $5 app, for sure.

#89I subscribe to https://www.focusatwill.com/ I would like to see a comparison of the two to understand the pros and cons of each.
Re: AI generated music to improve focus, relaxation and sleep
#90So there are already tons of apps on App Store or Play store featuring auto-generated beats for working and sleeping. Is there any clinical studies saying that this service is better than any of those? If the effects are the same, why choosing this over others?
