The Power of Acoustic Neuroscience

Acoustic neuroscience explores how sounds affect our internal states, including mood, sleep, and concentration. Brain FM, an app founded by Dan Clark, uses sound modulation to help users optimize their mental state. By combining specific frequencies and patterns in the music, Brain FM can guide the brain into states of focus, relaxation, or sleep. This technology goes beyond traditional binaural beats by directly modulating brain patterns, allowing for quicker and more consistent effects.
