SDS 107: Brainwave Entrainment

December 18, 2015

Electricity, magnetic fields and sound waves are three separate forces, capable of stimulating our brain for cognitive effects (reality) and Jedi mind tricks (fantasy).  The first two recently featured in our Electroceuticals episode and this week we check out sound waves.  Jesse is joined by Adam Hewett and Junaid Kalmadi, co-founders of Brain.fm, an online service that aims to improve focus, relaxation and sleep with music engineered by a proprietary Artificial Intelligence system.  Tune in to learn more about the science behind audio brainwave entrainment, its history, and potential for future development.


Speaking of sound and music – Jesse also shares some news from the world of neuroscience about how your personality plays a role in your musical ability.  (Who knew?)
