Are the sounds similar to www.brain.fm?


No no no....

Here's an example of a piece of research https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-2552/aae18f/...

During your deepest sleep, there are bursts of brain activity called Slow Wave Oscillations. These SWOs are responsible/related to memory consolidation, clearing of amyloid plaques, regulating hormonal response, and more.

When we detect an SWO, we provide a sound (auditory stimulation) and the response of your brain to the sound is to increase the power of the SWO by up to 40%. Much of the existing research measures the improved cognitive response of an individual post sleeping with stim, compared to baseline and sham.

On my task list this month is to write a whitepaper which describes the stim and points to a bunch of the different research (there is lots of it). I'm writing the whitepaper in order to make it easy to understand for investors, and give them a jumping off point to get deeper in the research, should they want to do that.

I'll potentially publish it broader if there is an audience for it.


Very interesting. I joined the waiting list.
