Do Binaural Beats Really Work?
Binaural beats are now supported by large-scale research showing measurable effects on attention, sleep, relaxation, and nervous-system regulation, with effect sizes comparable to established wellbeing approaches such as CBT and mindfulness. However, most commercially available tracks fail to generate a true binaural beat, which explains inconsistent results across studies and user experiences. Audicin addresses this by engineering and verifying properly produced signals in a dedicated research lab, enabling reliable, passive wellbeing benefits in as little as 10 minutes.
What Are Binaural Beats and Why Headphones Matter
People often ask us two closely related questions: what are binaural beats, and why do we recommend wearing headphones when listening to Audicin? This article explains how Audicin combines neuroscience-informed soundscapes, expertly engineered binaural beats, and immersive 360-degree sound to support sleep, relaxation, and focus in a natural, effortless way. It also explains why headphones matter, why any headphones will do, and how gentle sound can help the brain shift into the state you need.
Easy Recovery That Makes a Real Difference
What if recovery isn’t something you schedule, but something that happens in the background? Drawing on autonomic and cardiovascular science, this piece introduces micro-recovery: brief, almost invisible inputs that help the nervous system settle between demands. It’s a reframing of recovery that challenges the idea that rest has to be earned or effortful.
Inside the Focused Brain: How Binaural Beats Improve Attention and Reaction Speed
Focus emerges from the moment-to-moment coordination of attentional brain networks that determine how cognitive resources are allocated. Neuroscience research shows that binaural beats can influence this coordination, producing measurable improvements in processing speed, attentional allocation, and network efficiency. These neural effects provide a scientific basis for using Audicin to support sustained, high-performance focus in demanding environments
The Performance Bottleneck and how Audicin can help
Working memory is the brain’s real-time engine for focus, decision-making, and execution under pressure and it can break down first when demands are high. Drawing on decades of cognitive science and new peer-reviewed research, I explore how subtle, inaudible sound stimulation can enhance working memory, boosting accuracy and speed without effort or distraction. Discover how Audicin quietly supports peak performance, fitting seamlessly into preparation or performance when it matters most.
A Day in the Life of a High Performer using Audicin
Audicin is designed as a 24/7 solution that supports high performance across the full rhythm of real life, not just moments of peak focus. In this blog, I share how I integrate Audicin into my own daily routine, from morning readiness and deep work to recovery and sleep, to stay regulated, clear, and resilient. This is a practical example of how high performers can apply Audicin seamlessly within their own routines to make excellence sustainable over time.
Why Real Music Matters: The Neuroscience at the Heart of Audicin’s Nervous System Regulation
Music can change how you feel in seconds calming your nervous system, sharpening focus, or helping you drift into sleep, often before you’ve had time to think. The latest research argues that this subconscious reaction is your brain syncing with multiple, complex musical structures, shaping your state of mind moment by moment. In this article, we give you five practical ways you can use our neuroscience-supported music to support sleep, calm, focus, creativity, and energy throughout your day.
5 Things We Learned About Binaural Beats in 2025
The science of binaural beats has taken a huge leap forward in 2025, with new studies offering clear evidence, smarter methods, and exciting breakthroughs in personalisation. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already using neuromusic in your daily life, this year’s research changes the conversation. Here’s your must-read roundup of the five biggest findings.
How Long Does Binaural Beat Brain Entrainment Last? A Science-Backed Guide
New science confirms that binaural beats produce strong entrainment while listening, followed by a brief period where the brain continues to echo the frequency. These residual effects typically last for minutes, creating a short but meaningful carryover. With regular use, the brain becomes faster and more responsive to entrainment, making each session more effective.
Getting Started with Audicin: A Simple Guide
Audicin is scientifically-designed music that supports your nervous system as you move through the day. This getting-started guide explains how to explore Songs and Journeys, choose listening goals such as relaxation, focus, or sleep, and understand the science behind binaural beats and brainwave states. It offers clear guidance to help you listen with ease and integrate Audicin naturally into your daily routine for greater wellbeing.
How to Improve Your Focus With Simple Sound Routines
Our brains are rhythm machines, constantly shifting between states of focus, creativity, rest, and recovery. By using sound as a neurosensory cue, we can guide the nervous system to transition smoothly and avoid fatigue or overload. Brainwave-entraining audio acts like a natural pacemaker, helping you enter flow faster and recover more efficiently. This guide shows how simple daily sound cues can optimise performance and support a calmer, more regulated mind
Recharging While You Work is the New Path to Peak Performance
High performers need more than focus. They need a way to support their nervous system during demanding physical and/ or mental work. This blog explains how real-time recovery can strengthen clarity, creativity and long-term resilience. Audicin offers an effortless way to support calm concentration whilst 'locking in' , offering productivity and recovery while you work.
