Randomized, double-blind clinical study at Ospedali Galliera in Genoa, Italy. Registered in the Italian Ministry of Enterprises register of innovative companies. Present at the Tor Vergata University lab (Rome) in the second-level Master's programme in Neuroaesthetics. Partner of Trenitalia, inside FRECCIAPlay, and of other leading companies and multinationals. Put on your headphones, press play, and in fifteen minutes your body winds down. Effetto VIOLA is the No.1 sound technology in Italy: frequencies designed and embedded inside real music — classical, ambient, pop — to support the mental states of relaxation, sleep, good mood and focus. This is not a meditation app. There is no technique to learn, no need to sit still in silence, nothing to be good at. Put on your headphones and listen: the sound does the rest. THE TEN MINUTES BEFORE Nothing has happened yet and your body is already racing: a meeting, a departure, a phone call put off for days. Fifteen minutes of RESET before your turn comes, and your body winds down while you wait. WHEN THE DAY HAS SQUEEZED YOU DRY RESET again, on the other side of the day: to bring down the tension and the physiological anxiety you have built up. Many people use it coming home, before dinner, as a border between work and the evening. WHEN YOUR MIND WILL NOT SWITCH OFF You lie down and it all starts again: the day, the list, that sentence that came out wrong. NOCTURNE accompanies falling asleep without asking anything of you — and it works for three-in-the-morning wake-ups too. WHEN NOTHING LIGHTS YOU UP There are stretches when everything stays flat and the things you used to enjoy say nothing anymore. UNITY supports good mood fifteen minutes at a time, without asking you to be positive on command. WHY THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER BINAURAL BEAT Imagine a shoe shop that only stocks one size: it suits very few people. Traditional binaural beats work like that — one fixed frequency, the same for everyone. Effetto VIOLA does the opposite. The frequencies are distributed inside each piece differently, track by track, to follow the rhythm the brain would produce by itself in that state. That is why not every track works the same way for everyone, and that is exactly the point. THE FIVE PROGRAMMES • RESET — bring the tension down, before or after • NOCTURNE — accompany falling asleep and night-time waking • UNITY — support good mood • FOCUS — long concentration, for study and work • CONTROL — for intimacy: less head, more presence HOW TO LISTEN You need headphones or earbuds: on a speaker the stereo construction is lost, and with it most of the work. You do not need a silent room or to stay still: many people listen on the train, at the office, in a waiting room. Tracks can be downloaded and played offline. One warning only: do not listen while driving. WHERE IT COMES FROM Effetto VIOLA was born in Bologna. The technology was the subject of a randomized, double-blind clinical study conducted at Ospedali Galliera in Genoa and published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2020; the full collection of studies is at effettoviola.eu/scienza.

I suoni sono stati creati con attenzione perché sono davvero piacevoli da ascoltare e c’è una varietà che rende l’esperienza ancora più stimolante. È da lodare l’intento di far conoscere bene la teoria sulla quale si basa il loro metodo con video introduttivi. Utilizziamo l’app io e il mio socio e, dopo un periodo di prova gratuito, abbiamo deciso di distribuirla al personale per migliorare il benessere del nostro team di lavoro ### 5/5 — Ottimo servizio *2025-10-28, version 1.08* Ho chiesto il rimborso perché non utilizzavo più il servizio: l’hanno fatto appena ricevuta la mia e-mail di richiesta. Efficienti! ### 5/5 — Mai più senza *2025-10-24, version 1.08* La uso da più di un anno prima dal sito e poi sulla app (meglio ancora ) e nel mio caso ha risolti i problemi di insonnia, più di qualsiasi integratore (e ne ho provati tanti). I brani sono molto piacevoli non ho ancora pienamente utilizzato le altre opzioni, a parte insonnia, ma sono sicura che siano altrettanto valide. Lo consiglio senza riserve. In caso di problemi, si può scrivere una email e la risposta è velocissima ed estremamente gentile e qualsiasi disguido viene risolto efficacemente. ### 5/5 — Prodotto e Servizio TOP *2025-06-25, version 1.08* Sistema incredibilmente efficace e Customer Care da cinque stelle!! ### 5/5 — finalmente *2025-05-16, version 1.07* Super upgrade con la nuova app, effetto viola ovunque! Grazie (ps assistenza super) ### 5/5 — Ideale per neo-mamme *2025-04-05, version 1.07* Io sono una neo-mamma, ho un bambino di 8 mesi e le notti, dal 6 mese ad oggi, sono diventate più complicate perché il bambino fa più risvegli ed in generale è più nervoso. Spesso passavo le notti sveglia aspettando il momento che arrivasse il suo risveglio e anche quando il bambino dormiva sereno, alla fine ero io quella che non riusciva più a prendere sonno. Effetto viola è stato ed è una piacevole scoperta. La sera, anche se non ho sonno, mi concilio con una musica del programma insonnia ed il sonno arriva puntuale. Quando poi affronto dei risvegli importanti nella notte, ascolto un altro brano, e così non ho bisogno di prendere altri rimedi ma riesco a riaddormentarmi velocemente con le mie cuffiette. Il mio abbonamento è stato veramente un investimento perché il sonno è salute, soprattutto perché al risveglio mi aspetta un ‘altra giornata impegnativa con il bambino. Consigliatissima ! ### 5/5 — Eccezionale *2025-03-18, version 1.07* Sono abbonata ad Effetto Viola dal settembre 2023 e sono estremamente soddisfatta. Ho apprezzato molto la creazione dell’App che trovo bella e di facile utilizzo. Complimenti allo sviluppatore, grazie ad Effetto Viola! ### 5/5 — Rilassante *2025-03-11, version 1.07* Uso effetto viola dallo scorso anno, mi trovo molto bene, l app è ancora meglio della versione desktop.. ### 5/5 — Fantastica *2025-01-30, version 1.0.3* Sono abbonato da diverso tempo, ho interrotto l'abbonamento un paio di mesi fa ma non ho resistito a lungo. Usavo il sito e non conoscevo la app, molto pratica, in più ho scoperto Focus che non conoscevo. Premesso che con me Effetto Viola ha sempre funzionato (uso molto reset) oggi ho provato Focus dopo pranzo prima di tornare al lavoro...wow!! Una bella carica tutta la sera. ## Frequently asked questions about Effetto VIOLA ### What is Effetto VIOLA?
