I know this article is about google but I only had a good Apple anecdote so there you are.
I truly truly wish you the best of luck in your futile endeavor. My wife HATES all her apple products but still won't switch. Similarly, while I love Macbooks, iPhones make me sick and developing for them is like Apple…
Giovanni responded to the main thread. I asked him to respond to this specifically but he's super busy. This is his response: "He doesn't know what he is talking about. Means do not have to be a standard deviation away…
We did a randomized controlled trial :) https://www.brain.fm/pdfs/EEGFocusAnalysis.pdf It's pending publication, but it'll get there. And now we have enough info to start a double blind. Sleep one is also pending…
Hey, thanks! I appreciate that. I played classical guitar as a kid - still do. And Bach is definitely a favorite, though one of the most difficult. You just know he composed those lute pieces on his damned organ, where…
I didn't make up the term "emergent." AFAIK it's an established type of AI. http://chetansurpur.com/blog/2013/08/emergent-intelligence.h... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#Computer_AI We're not using that term…
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Was wondering if I was going crazy.
Completely agree! We're on it. :) Definitely don't want you to be wary of the skip button. That's an important feature. You should love the music you're playing. So here's a pro-tip: as an anonymous user, play the…
So much inspiration in this thread. I mentioned this further down the page, but it's a hobby of mine to ask what music people work to. This is a goldmine for me. Thanks a lot for posting, and for trying it out. Would…
Great, so glad it's helping! Wait till you get the headphones... a whole new level. Keep me updated. I had Aaron get in touch with you but please feel free to send me any updates directly. Just my first name and…
This is actually great feedback. I can definitely create some trance, house, etc. There is techno/electronic music already in there, but only at around 120bpm, and probably won't be as bass-intensive or dramatic as…
Hey, great question, though I'm not sure if you want the audio or neurological explanation, or both :) I'm also not sure how technical you want or how much you know already, so apologies if I'm too technical, and…
It's actually a really good result, for a number of reasons. But I'll let Giovanni respond to this later and clarify (he's the neuroscientist that wrote the paper). I apologize for the delay, he's dealing with some…
Hey, happy to answer that. Do a page find for the word "emergent" here and you should find it. I've explained it a few times, though briefly. I did a write-up of it a while back that I need to find and post somewhere.…
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! There is discussion about extending the trial, and I agree completely. And we're almost done with both the iPhone app and the Android app! Stay tuned :) Good point about…
It's just a standard TOS, man. Here's the Terms Of Service for Yale: I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING ANY WRITTEN CONFIRMATION STATEMENTS PROVIDED TO ME (ON PAPER OR IN ELECTRONIC FORM) REGARDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS,…
Hey, thanks haha, I know I shouldn't be surprised by now, now it's still funny to me that I am sending a heartfelt thanks to a one "slagfart" :)
Hey, no problem. Not trying to "prime" you here, this is just how I talk. I'm not that strategic. If you think it would help, I'd be happy to get on a call/skype? I just feel like there's some miscommunication going on…
Hey man, about to respond to your other question, but there was a similar question earlier so thought I'd just take this one first. Here's a bibliography we're still working on. More to add, but a good start so far:…
Ah, well, glad it worked then :)
Oops, thanks a lot! Logged the bug, should be fixed soon. Sorry about that.
Sure! Happy to explain it. Although I have to say I'm not sure what textbooks are saying these days. When I talk to programmers right out of college sometimes there's a bit of confusion as they talk about patterns I…
Hey, good question! Here's a bibliography we're still working on. More to add, but a good start so far: https://www.brain.fm/pdfs/ResearchLibrary.pdf We've also done our own research that is pending publication:…
Those are great! And glad you like Brain.fm as well :) To my great surprise, silence is actually the worst performer in our research and for other researchers I've talked to. check out our focus study, and also if you…
It is proprietary I guess, but I don't really mind talking about it :) I did a talk recently at Northwestern (The Garage) and they were interested, so I spilled the beans. I'd like to get that talk up actually. I used…
