All Versions of BrainWave

10.0.3

October 14, 2023

Thanks for making BrainWave the #1 Ranked Binaural App for 14 years! * One-time purchase with No Subscriptions or In-App Purchases * Targets 40 Hz with the "Gamma-40 Focus" program. * Headphones/Earbuds are required for Binaural Tones to be Effective. * This update includes UI improvements for iPad. The 10.0 update also includes several new settings as well as new binaural programs and background audio. * New version 10 options in General Settings, accessed by tapping the wrench-button on the main screen: * Reduce Other App Volume - Option to enable audio ducking which instructs iOS to reduce the volume of other apps by 50% while this app is playing. iOS does not allow the volume reduction to be customized. * Wave Amplitude Boost - Option to boost the amplitude of the binaural carrier waves by a fixed amount to provide an additional increase in volume. This option is provided as an on/off toggle setting. * Carrier Signal (2 Options)- Option to switch between the default low-frequency binaural carrier wave and a medium carrier wave of ~250 Hz. This will not alter the frequency of the binaural tones. Example: A 1 Hz tone on a low-frequency carrier uses 121 Hz Left and 120 Hz Right, but with a Mid-carrier uses 221 Hz Left and 220 Hz Right. * Option to export time spent listening to Relaxation and Meditation programs to the Apple Health App as Mindful Minutes. * New Programs * - Gamma-40 Focus - Delta Slow-Wave Sleep * New Backgrounds * - Brown Noise - White Noise - Energy Flow - Solar Waves * Many people have asked which binaural program stimulates 40 Hz Gamma brainwaves after Stanford Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman recommended this app on his Huberman Lab podcast. The Gamma-40 Focus program in 'BrainWave™ - Advanced Binaural Programs' specifically targets 40 Hz gamma waves. * Combine Brainwaves with Ambience and Another App by selecting background mode 'Ambience + Other App' * To use Another App for the Background Audio choose 'Other App'. * When using background modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing Lockscreen controls will only affect iTunes or the other app. * If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio. * How it Works * During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambience, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds. As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. Warning: Do not use BrainWave while driving or operating machinery. Note: If your vehicle Auto-Plays connected devices use the Ambience+Other background mode.

September 7, 2022

Thanks for making BrainWave the #1 Ranked Binaural App for 14 years! * One-time purchase with No Subscriptions or In-App Purchases * Targets 40 Hz with the "Focused and Alert" program. * Headphones/Earbuds are required for Binaural Tones to be Effective. * Many people have asked which binaural program stimulates 40 Hz Gamma brainwaves. The "Focused and Alert" program in 'Brain Wave™ 35 Binaural Series' specifically targets 40 Hz gamma waves. If you're downloading this app after hearing Dr. Andrew Huberman's recommendation on the Huberman Lab podcast, the "Focused and Alert" program is the one he recommends for 40 Hz stimulation. * Includes UI for iPhone & iPad * Supports Family Share * Combine Brainwaves with Ambience and Another App by selecting background mode 'Ambience + Other App' * To use Another App for the Background Audio choose 'Other App'. * Added the ability to play and pause audio using Lock Screen and Remote Controls only when using Brainwaves with the included Ambience. * When using background modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing Lockscreen controls will only affect iTunes or the other app. * If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio. * How it Works * During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears.

This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambience, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise. As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency. * Brainwave Frequencies * Gamma waves (30-44 Hz): Associated with high-level information processing, multi-tasking, and high energy. High-Beta waves (18-29 Hz): Associated with mental activities such as math, planning, and design. Mid-Beta waves (15-17 Hz): Increased problem-solving ability, focus, and alertness. Low-Beta waves (12-14 Hz): Relaxed, yet still mentally sharp High-Alpha waves (10-11 Hz): Relaxed, centered, tranquil Low-Alpha waves (8-9 Hz): Relaxed, meditative and aware Theta waves (4-7 Hz): Associated with deep meditation, creativity, intuition, and dream-like states. Delta waves (.5-3 Hz): Deep, slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep allows the brain to recover from daily activities and is important for hormonal regulation, growth, physical renewal, and memory. Warning: Do not use BrainWave while driving or operating machinery. Note: If your vehicle Auto-Plays connected devices use the Ambience+Other background mode.

Combine Advanced Multi-stage Binaural Programs with 5 Background Audio Modes: Ambience, Other App, Ambience + Other App, iTunes, iTunes + Ambience * Includes UI for iPhone & iPad * Supports Family Share * Supports iOS 13 Dark Mode * Affordable one-time purchase with no subscriptions or in-app purchases * Combine Brainwaves with Ambience and another app by selecting background mode 'Ambience + Other App' in Background Settings. * To use Another App for the Background Audio choose background mode, 'Other App'. * Headphones or Earbuds must be worn for Binaural Tones to be Effective. * Added the ability to play and pause audio using Lock Screen and Remote Controls only when using Brainwaves with the included Ambience. In modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing these controls will only affect iTunes or the other app. * If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio. * How it Works * During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambience, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise. It is also what allows humans to perceive the beat frequency of tuning forks. As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency. * Brainwave Frequencies * Different states of mind will display a dominant frequency, but all brainwaves are present in a mix at all times. Gamma waves (30-44 Hz): Associated with high-level information processing, multi-tasking, excitement, and high energy. High-Beta waves (18-29 Hz): Associated with mental activities such as math, planning, and design. Mid-Beta waves (15-17 Hz): Increased problem-solving ability, focus, and alertness. Low-Beta waves (12-14 Hz): Relaxed, yet still mentally sharp High-Alpha waves (10-11 Hz): Relaxed, centered, tranquil Low-Alpha waves (8-9 Hz): Relaxed, almost meditative but still aware Theta waves (4-7 Hz): Associated with deep meditation, creativity, intuition, and dream-like states. Theta waves also occur during REM sleep and the early stages of deep, slow-wave sleep. Delta waves (.5-3 Hz): Deep, slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep allows the brain to recover from daily activities. It is important for hormonal regulation, growth, memory retention, and physical renewal.

Different states of mind are associated with specific brainwave frequencies that would be inaudible if played directly. These frequencies can be induced in the brain by playing two different tones into each ear (binaural tones), which after being processed by the brain, are perceived as an inaudible beat matching the target brainwave frequency. As you listen, your own brainwaves fall into step and synchronize with this frequency. BrainWave uses low, mid, and high frequency ranges of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma binaural tones combined in layers and stages to create powerful multi-stage experiences. - Morning Coffee - Espresso Shot - Morning Meditation - Focused and Alert - Gamma-40 Focus - Critical Thinking - Concentration - Memory Boost - Problem Solving - Brainstorm - Confidence Boost - Pre-Exercise Energy - Creativity Boost - Positive Mood Boost - Motivation Boost - Euphoria - Stress Reduction - Anger Relief - Calm Reflection - Reduce Anxiety - Deep Relaxation - Meditation - Lucid Dreaming - Power Nap - Gamma Power Nap - Dreamy Sleep - Deep Sleep - Deep Slow-Wave Sleep - Deep Sleep with Wake-up Stage - Dreamy Sleep with Wake-up Stage - Headache Relief - Hangover Relief - Yoga Meditation - Alpha Relaxation - Theta Meditation - Night Meditation - Night Reading Pure Tones - Select from the following binaural frequencies: 1 Hz - Deep Delta 2 Hz - Low Delta 3 Hz - High Delta 4 Hz - Low Theta 5 Hz - Mid Theta 6 Hz - High Theta 7 Hz - Low Alpha 8 Hz - Low-Mid Alpha 10 Hz - Mid Alpha 12 Hz - High Alpha 14 Hz - Low Beta 18 Hz - Low-Mid Beta 20 Hz - Mid Beta 25 Hz - High-Mid Beta 30 Hz - High Beta 35 Hz - Low Gamma 40 Hz - Gamma 60 Hz - Mid Gamma 80 Hz - High-Mid Gamma 100 Hz - High Gamma * Backgrounds * - Beach Surf - Ocean Waves - Ocean Waves 2 - Rain & Thunder - Atmospheres: Serenity - Atmospheres: Awakening - Atmospheres: Space - Atmospheres: Drifting - Atmospheres: Peace - Atmospheres: Floating - Atmospheres: Soaring - Medium Rain - Light Rain - Waterfall - Flowing Creek - Pink Noise - Forest - Flow - Solar Waves * BrainWave's binaural tones are helpful for Tinnitus as it provides an audio mask for tonal Tinnitus while also reducing the neural hyperactivity that underlies Tinnitus. * Do not use Binaural tones while driving or operating machinery

Reviews of BrainWave

  • Several Programs are Helping my Chronic Insomnia

    I have suffered from chronic insomnia for 3-4 years, which has gotten significantly worse over the last year. I have tried all the common recommendations (no blue light from devices after 6 pm, no eating/minimal drinking 2-3 hours before bed, melatonin, white/green/whatever color noise, exercise, …) and some not-as-common ones (cooling gel pads in bed, BedJet, sleep study, acupuncture, chiropractor, etc.). Some of these seem to contribute to improvement, but I have concluded that nothing “solves” chronic insomnia.

    I would put Brainwave 37 towards the top of the “contribute to improvement” list. I have been using it for about 3 months - specifically the “Gamma-40 Focus” during the day and the “Deep-Slow Wave,” “Deep Sleep,” and “Dreamy Sleep” apps at night. I use the latter two frequently when I wake up (approx ever two hours) throughout the night. I do believe they help get me back to sleep. If I’ve had a really stressful day, there is no “cure all” for me, but these programs definitely help.

    I’m interested to try the “Perfect Sleep” app that someone else mentioned in a review to see if that might assist further.

    Overall, I highly recommend.
  • Non-scientific observations—TBI recovery

    I have been using this product for years with exceptional results.

    Background: I have suffered six significant trauma related concussions in my lifetime, one of which was associated with a blood clot in the left sinus of my brain and the last of which led to a complex partial seizure / TIA stroke. By all measures, I should be drooling on myself right now, and not a program manager at the premier applied physics laboratory.

    My brain’s elasticity is certainly unique. I cannot attribute my entire recovery and durability to binaural stimulation alone; however, when combined with a regimen of speech therapy, proper pharmaceutical interventions, rest and recuperation, and stimulation / not over-stimulation, I believe that the app has made a significant difference in helping me to rewire my neural pathways and quickly recover my executive functions. I would highly recommend that this app be placed into double-blind clinical trials for TBI recovery. I am a firm believer in its potential.
  • Love the update!

    Been using this app for a LONG time. On and off for literally close to 10 years. Some times I use it daily for a nap meditation, sometimes I use it at night to drown out my wife’s snoring😅. The most recent update had a lot of the information and features I had been craving for a long time - and others I didn’t even know I wanted yet. I definitely sprung for the whole package, as should you because you never know what program is going to work best for you. One of my favorites from this particular app is Alpha Relaxation with the floating background. I set the background to about 40% and the brainwave at 80%. The truth is, Binaural audio works! You should look it up and see how this simple process can of manipulating and rendering audio can have powerful effects on your body and mind.
