Please refer to this description below "The 5 types of brainwaves Now here’s where it gets fun: Brainwaves are grouped into five distinct categories, each of which is associated with a very specific type of task and mental state. The most high-frequency—and, some may say, high-vibe—of the bunch are gamma waves. “Gamma waves are often associated with insight, peak focus, and expanded consciousness,” says Winters. “These waves are generated when the brain is learning new information, sharply concentrating, or storing memories.” She adds that this “hyper-focused, tranquil attention” is characteristic of Zen meditators and master musicians. A step down are beta waves, which is what most of us experience most of the time in our always-on society. “Their upside is that they allow us to concentrate hard on tasks at hand—and they’re critical when we read, write, and socialize,” says Winters. (It’s the frequency of the hustle, basically.) “The downside of beta waves is that they can zap our energy and reduce emotional awareness and creativity.” Once we get home at the end of the day, if we’re lucky, we shift into a relaxed, reflective alpha wave pattern. “If you daydream, wind down for bed, or sit down with a good book, your brain is likely in an alpha state,” says Winters. On the other hand, if your brain has trouble shifting from beta to alpha—a stress-induced phenomenon called “alpha blocking”—you could suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms, says Winters. Finally, once you fall asleep, you experience theta waves (the ones associated with dreaming) and delta waves (which promote deep, restorative, dreamless slumber.) Interestingly, theta waves are also linked with being in that elusive, hypnotic flow state associated with peak performance, as well as the autopilot mode we shift into when we’re doing something we’ve done a million times before, like driving home from work on a familiar route. “[People can] have flashes of insight or bursts of creativity when in these flow states because their behaviors are often so automatic that they can mentally disengage and just be,” explains Winters. So that explains why I have all my best ideas in the shower… "

Designed for connection. Powered by thought. Think2Switch™ translates brain signals into simple actions, allowing users to control connected devices and discover new ways to play, create, and connect. Think2Switch™ requires a Muse S headset (https://ca.choosemuse.com/products/muse-s-athena) to read a user's EEG signals. Once calibrated, users can control smart devices and express themselves through choice making via intentional mental commands. The free Think2Switch™ can be used with just the headset for simple communication using a single mental command. The Think2Switch™ subscription unlocks the ability to create "scenes" and two mental commands for more advanced control. It also provides support for controlling HomeKit accessories and emulating a keyboard to control external software (ex: games, social media).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Binaural Beats at 4.8 against Think2Switch's 1.0. Binaural Beats also leads on ratings volume (136 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Think2Switch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
