The science, told straight
Brainwave audio is surrounded by hype. These explainers do the opposite: real studies, plain English, and an honest line between what the evidence supports and what it doesn't. No miracle claims.
The 40 Hz gamma story
MIT's landmark research cleared Alzheimer's proteins in mice and slowed brain shrinkage in early human trials โ with 40 Hz light and sound. What it really shows, and the crucial detail most headlines skip (it isn't binaural beats).
Read the article โ ๐ฌDo binaural beats work?
A meta-analysis says moderately yes; EEG reviews say "not so fast." The honest picture โ and why both can be true.

Three ways to beat the brain with sound. How each is built, which needs headphones, and which the research favors.
Read the article โ ๐The best frequencies for sleep
Delta waves are the real rhythm of deep sleep โ but does a delta track help you sleep deeper? An honest look at what audio can and can't do at night.
Read the article โEvery article cites peer-reviewed sources, links them so you can check for yourself, and states plainly where the evidence is strong, mixed, or thin. We'd rather tell you a popular claim is shaky than repeat it.
Got a topic you want covered? Frequencies for sleep, gamma and focus, the frequency-following response, music vs. pure tones โ the list keeps growing.
