The science behind Audicin; audio tool for nervous system regulation

Audicin is a science-based audio tool designed for Nervous System Regulation (NSR), helping to combat Nervous System Overstimulation (NSO). The Audicin app provides background audio that improves wellbeing simply by listening. Our audio is designed to enhance daily activities such as, working, running errands, exercising, relaxing, and sleeping. 

The science behind Audicin, audio app tool for nervous system regulation and nervous system overstimulation.

Understanding nervous system regulation and its connection to nervous system overstimulation

Nervous System Regulation (NSR) is a crucial way to manage stress and prevent Nervous System Overstimulation (NSO) and related long-term illnesses. Audicin, a patent-pending, lab-created audio treatment app, providing on-the-go NSR support, helping to enhance focus, sleep, and relaxation.

Nervous System Overstimulation occurs from repeated stress responses over many months, leading to symptoms such as exhaustion, irritability, appetite fluctuations, and insomnia. While our fight-or-flight response is effective for handling isolated stress, it is not designed for frequent activation. Unfortunately, this ‘emergency’ state has become a regular part of modern life.

Each fight-or-flight response releases cortisol and adrenaline, and when this happens regularly, it can lead to systemic inflammation. NSO is linked to chronic stress-related illnesses, impacting 70-95% of workers and contributing to a global health crisis. It is a leading cause of female cardiovascular disease and results in €1 trillion in lost productivity and 120,000 deaths annually.

Audicin is the leading music app for nervous system support

Audicin embodies strong scientific research and a commitment to ethical, personalized audio treatments. We’ve surpassed conventional standards by integrating art, science, sound engineering, and medicine to achieve breakthroughs in personalized audio treatment. Our core product far exceeds market expectations in quality, safety, and life impact potential.

Audicin is the only company focused on developing personalized audio treatments. Most existing products overwhelm users with options, often leading to decision paralysis. We lead the scientific study of individual differences, including ADHD and cross-cultural responses.

In the near future, we will combine our research with wearable device data to create a unique Audicin personalization algorithm. This innovative solution will overcome current market limitations by tailoring audio treatments to each user, enhancing effectiveness and motivation. Audicin will know the best audio treatment for you, exactly when you need it.

Creating Audicin’s nervous system regulation sound

Audicin’s patent-pending nervous system regulation sound is created using proven impacts of music to positively shift the nervous system. Each Audicin song is expertly crafted by artists using decades of evidence from music psychology and neuroscience. The resulting compositions gain their enhanced nervous system healing properties from our engineers, who mix and master them using the latest 3D sound techniques and our unique binaural beats.

With Audicin, you can experience nervous system regulation on the go. Enjoy the benefits of self-care techniques like meditation and mindfulness without adding anything extra to your routine. Whether you’re seeking reduced stress, better sleep, improved productivity, or enhanced creativity, Audicin is a seamless NSR solution. Simply put on your headphones, and experience the benefits while continuing your day.

What are binaural beats and how do they work?

Binaural beats are an auditory illusion created by the brain. This phenomenon occurs when two slightly different tones are played in each ear. The brain processes these tones and generates a third tone that represents the difference between them, known as the binaural beat.

For example, if a 100 Hz tone is played in the right ear and a 120 Hz tone in the left ear, the brain perceives a 20 Hz tone, which is the binaural beat. This perceived beat sounds like a rhythmic, on-and-off buzzing or a low-frequency beep.

There are five different levels of binaural beats, depending on the size of the frequency difference. From low to high, these levels are Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

In essence, binaural beats are the brain’s way of filling the gap between two mismatched tones, creating a unique auditory experience.

How binaural beats impact your brain

Each binaural beat band affects your brain differently. In general, slower (lower) binaural beats relax the brain. Faster (higher) binaural beats stimulate energy and thinking. 

There are 3 known effects of binaural beats on the brain; brainwave entrainment, interhemispheric coherence and cortical network strength.

  1. Slower (lower) binaural beats - the brain finds it easiest to adapt to the rhythm of low binaural beats. At low levels you see evidence for brainwave entrainment; brain signals mirror the binaural beat, they move in rhythm with it. Things slow down and begin to move gently together.  

  2. Medium binaural beats - one sign our brain is working well is interhemispheric coherence. This means that the two halves of the brain, the right and left, are communicating well. Medium binaural beats are associated with an increase in interhemispheric coherence

  3. Fast (higher) binaural beats - sending signals across the brain relies on cortical networks. These are the highways of the brain. How strongly they are connected will dictate how fast and how well brain signals are communicated. Higher binaural beats are associated with increases in cortical network strength. 

Audicin has gone far beyond simply placing binaural beats in sound

Audicin goes far beyond simply adding binaural beats to sound. The key to Audicin's effectiveness lies in how these binaural beats are delivered.

To illustrate the importance of delivery, consider iron supplements: they are more effective when combined with vitamin C, which enhances absorption. Similarly, Audicin’s sound engineering optimizes the safe and effective delivery of binaural beats to maximize their impact.

This process starts with the carefully curated structure of Audicin audio treatments, built on scientific evidence of what makes background music most effective for NSR. We elevate this with groundbreaking 3D immersive sound techniques, seamlessly embedding binaural beats into the music for two main reasons:

  1. Raw binaural beats can be unpleasant—a low buzz or hum in the ears. By integrating them into enjoyable music, Audicin ensures a pleasant listening experience.

  2. Our ears are naturally accustomed to 3D sound in the real world. 3D audio is more effective and easier for the brain to process than flat, overly compressed recordings commonly found on other platforms.

The research behind Audicin’s impact on wellbeing

Audicin has been tested by researchers at the University of Sheffield (UK). Three independent academic studies concluded that Audicin:

In addition, our scientific study of first-time US Audicin users found a very significant relaxation effect after only 10 minutes (Williamson & Peck 2004: t(210)=7.17, p<.0001)

In the field we have conducted tests of Audicin in businesses within the EU for over two years, including for SOK, the largest private employer in Finland with roughly 48 percent of Finnish grocery retail and 975 outlets.

Results from testing within businesses include:

  • 83% improvement in overall wellbeing

  • 80% improvement in sleep quality

  • 75% improvement in mood
