Most effective app for focus and concentration: NuCalm Focus
If you’ve ever wondered what NuCalm Focus is, what it does, how to use it, and what to expect when you use it; then this article is for you. To understand NuCalm Focus (one of six different patented neuroacoustic software journeys that enable you to access one of your five different brain waves) we will share what NuCalm is, and how Focus can help you access your delta brain waves when desired.
What is NuCalm?
NuCalm is a patented neuroscience technology capable of changing your mental and physical condition at your command. NuCalm’s neuroacoustic technology accessible through the mobile app includes journeys for each of the five brain wave states. Simply choose the NuCalm journey aligned with your desired brain wave state and follow the journey directions. Some journeys require an eyemask, quality headphones, and your body reclined in a relaxed place while others only a portable speaker.
What does the Focus neuroacoustic software do?
Like all NuCalm journeys, Focus is a patented neuroscience technology that uses complex physics, including a pitch and frequency matrix and non-linear oscillating algorithms to safely deliver signals to the brain that the brain follows - called frequency following response. NuCalm uses music as a distraction for the listener to create an enjoyable experience while the underlying neuroacoustic software presents the brain with signals that gently guide the brain to a desired outcome, like a tuning fork.
NuCalm’s Focus neuroacoustic software journeys guide your brain waves to beta, between 15Hz - 20Hz, the optimal learning zone. All learning is state-dependent. When your brain oscillates in the best frequency for learning, then your cognition, memory, comprehension, and recall are improved.
Use in combination with a regular Rescue, PowerNap, or FlowState stress management routine, as cognitive function relates to stress and the ability to manage it effectively.
What do I need for a Focus journey?
- Access to the NuCalm mobile app (there are many subscription options)
- Noise-canceling headphones
What will it feel like during a Focus journey?
You will intermittently be aware of the Focus journey. You may notice it when it stops and starts if you are looping your Focus journey. You will have an improved ability to concentrate and minimize distractions.
How do I know if it’s working?
During your Focus journey:
- You will be able to minimize distractions
- You will likely lose track of time and be surprised when the journey ends
- You will stay alert and motivated and will not be mentally fatigued easily
- You will be more productive and efficient in less time
Why are there 60 and 15-minute Focus journey time lengths? What is the difference and the same between them?
The 60 and 15-minute Focus journeys include the same neuroscience technology formula that guides your brain waves to beta, they are just different lengths. The guidance is consistent throughout the entire journey. There are length variations as studies indicate that productivity can be maximized within targeted periods (anywhere from 15-60 minute increments) when focused on one task. You can select a 60-minute journey or loop your favorite 15-minute journey.
