brain.fm is dedicated to producing music that can improve your performance in various activities. With the aid of a patented A.I. engine, the company creates music based on scientific research to help you focus, relax, and sleep. Unlike traditional music that primarily aims to evoke emotions and sound pleasing, brain.fm collaborates with scientists and composers to design music that can rapidly induce specific mental states.

As a trailblazer in the field of auditory neuroscience, brain.fm has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to advance its research further.

At brain.fm, the musical content of our tracks, such as melodies, harmonies, chord progressions, sound design, and instrument selection, are composed by humans. Next, our patented algorithmic system, powered by artificial intelligence, arranges these motifs over extended periods and adds the acoustic features that form the foundation of our core technology. These features include modulation techniques to alter brain activity, 3D spatialization, salience reduction, among others.

Once compositions are complete, they are evaluated by our team of human listeners and are adjusted or discarded as necessary. Additionally, we subject our compositions to large-scale experiments to ensure they have the necessary attributes to help listeners achieve and sustain the desired mental states for extended periods.

The music produced by brain.fm is intentionally designed to impact neurophysiology by incorporating distinctive acoustic features into the music. These features, for which brain.fm holds patents, can have various effects, such as optimizing modulations to stimulate neural oscillations, filtering out distracting sounds, or creating seamless movements in virtual space to direct attention or prevent habituation.

brain.fm's innovative work is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF-STTR#1720698). You can find more information about our research and related literature at https://www.brain.fm/science.

At brain.fm, our sessions are created to produce noticeable effects within 10-15 minutes of use, and these effects can be sustained for extended periods while listening. Users typically listen to our music for a minimum of 30 minutes per session, and it's not unusual for runs of several continuous hours.

No, brain.fm is different from binaural beats. Binaural beats use stereo separation to generate phantom modulation in the brainstem, which is not the approach taken by brain.fm. While brain.fm also employs acoustic modulation, we incorporate various other sound features to aid in reaching specific mental states. For instance, our sleep music utilizes 3D spatialization to create calming auditory motion (such as "rocking"), while our focus music filters out high frequencies that could be distracting.
