I 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…

What's wrong with silence?

My first thought was Lumosity [1]. I'd love for these claims to be real, but I'm just not willing to believe claims like these until I see a significant result in a randomized controlled trial. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumosity#Effectiveness

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 blind. Sleep one is also pending publication. The HRV (stress/anxiety) trial is already published, and was completely independent. We didn't even know about it until it was published. There's more in the science section too. I remember when…

Adam from Brain.fm here! Happy to answer any questions. :) I've been doing this stuff for a while and I love talking about it. I've contacted Giovanni, our lead neuroscientist, so hopefully he'll be able to get on soon as well. I'm a regular of HN and it's wild to see something of mine up here.

Checkout "Christ." as well. 3rd early BoC member, he's sort of struggling but his music is amazing. He's one of the only artists to ever get an encore from John Peel. He's reissuing one of his best albums on vinyl and is only 64 preorders away from fulfilling the goal - https://www.diggersfactory.com/project/203/christ-curio-volu... 1) Christ. - Pylonesque - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXipXsYg1_U 2) Christ. - Gl…

I agree, definitely worth checking out. Excellent musician. I find the following tracks are great to code to as well: https://christmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sunart https://christmusic.bandcamp.com/track/moxley-moy-4-track-or... (The album the second one is on, overall, is on quite regular office rotation here. Even when it's noisy, it's quite heavily beat driven which at least personally keeps me in the zone.)

Do you have any science to back those claims up? What are you basing it on?

On the brain.fm they list results, but they are super flimsy. For focus, for example, n=17, and the difference between music vs non-music is much smaller than the standard deviation of either group. So it's possible this stuff helps you focus, but it doesn't appear to be showing up on these studies.
