Subjected to a battery of laboratory tests and rigorous field application. Put under the microscope by leading psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, therapists, physicians, sports trainers, counselors, researchers and clinicians from around the world. The results are conclusive and here for your thorough evaluation.

How does one observe brainwave patterns and examine what is happening in the human brain? The most conventional means of testing and observing the effects of entrainment and brainwave training instruments such as iMusic on the human brain is quite simple to explain.

 

Using a sophisticated instrument called an Electroencephalograph (EEG), electrodes are placed at strategic points on the scalp and ear lobe. These electrodes measure the electrical patterns coming from the brain—much like a physician listens to your heart from the surface of your skin. No electrical current is put into the brain, the brainwave patterns are simply observed and then relayed to a computer and recorded.

 

EEG Study

With advanced brain observation equipment iMusic’s performance enhancing capabilities have been carefully documented.

The following is a sample of the visual data records we’ve compiled while observing the effects of iMusic on a cross section of real people in the business, art, science and academic world. These EEG readings not only prove that iMusic | Volume One works, but demonstrate just how quickly it can optimize your mind and accelerate your cerebral functioning.


iMusic PeakRead

 

A wide body of science has concluded that elite learners and readers exhibit dominant Alpha /low Beta brainwave frequencies while reading and learning. To experience the accelerated learning mental state and enhance your absorption, focus and understanding while reading you need to enter this high Alpha, low Beta brain state.

 

As the above spectrograms so clearly show, iMusic | PeakRead propels the listener into the high performance state exemplified by the elite learners and thinkers of our time.

 

As your brainwaves converge on a low Beta dominant frequency (as shown in the bar chart to the right)—amplitude reaching a high of 8 uVolts, you will feel smarter and more capable.

 

The BEFORE spectrogram is a brainwave measurement taken from someone who is deeply engaged in reading and learning and knee deep in the subject/topic they are working with, but is not using iMusic. They are not dialed in, nor are they in a productive mental state, but they are working as well as their physiology is allowing. The AFTER spectrogram shows someone who is in a dramatically enhanced mental state via iMusic, and is experiencing sharp improvements in performance and mental capability.

 

 

* In accordance with best practices, we record EEG/Brainwave data before, during and after the listening session. This provides us with a spectrum of data to eliminate invalid conclusions and allow comparative analysis. Placebo effect variable elimination tactics and subjectivity differential procedures were strictly applied to assure true results. These spectrograms and bar charts represent a culmination of laboratory trial and testing, and epitomize the real world results that every iMusic user can expect.

iMusic IvyFocus

Scientific study has concluded that top scholars exhibit dominant Alpha/low Beta brainwave frequencies while memorizing and studying information. To experience the peak performance studying and memorization state you need to enter this Alpha brain state.

 

As the above spectrograms so clearly show, iMusic IvyFocus will guide your brain into the high performance state exemplified by the perennial achievers and preeminent academics of our time.

 

As your brainwaves converge on an Alpha/low Beta dominant frequency (as shown in the bar chart to the right)—amplitude reaching a high of 9 uVolts, you will feel at the ready.

iMusic ThinkFast

 

A wide body of research on cognitive performance has concluded that mid Beta brainwave frequencies create a super focused mental state, giving the mind extreme endurance and stamina.

 

The above spectrograms exhibit how iMusic ThinkFast activates these Beta frequencies, snapping the listener into a high performance state.

 

As your brainwaves converge on a mid Beta dominant frequency (as shown in the bar chart to the right)—amplitude reaching a high of 9.5 uVolts, you will feel focused and mentally tuned for success.
