NuCalm Focus neuroacoustic program for concentration

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.

  • Select any Focus journey and listen with noise-canceling headphones.

Combine with a regular Rescue, PowerNap, or FlowState routine for effective stress management and physical recovery which will help optimize cognitive function.

Questions about NuCalm Focus

How does NuCalm Focus work?

Focus uses complex physics, including a pitch and frequency matrix and non-linear oscillating algorithms, to deliver signals the brain follows, a process called frequency following response. Music acts as a pleasant distraction while the underlying software guides brain waves to beta, 15Hz to 20Hz. NuCalm says that when the brain oscillates in this range, cognition, memory, comprehension, and recall improve.

What do I need to use NuCalm Focus?

You need access to the NuCalm mobile app, which comes with many subscription options, and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. For thinking, studying, planning, or retaining information, select any Focus session and listen through the headphones.

Should Focus be combined with Rescue, PowerNap or FlowState?

Yes. NuCalm suggests using Focus in combination with a regular Rescue, PowerNap or FlowState stress management routine, because cognitive function relates to stress and the ability to manage it effectively. That routine provides effective stress management and physical recovery, which will help optimize cognitive function when you are thinking, studying, planning or retaining information.

How many brain wave states does the NuCalm app cover?

The NuCalm mobile app includes sessions for each of the five brain wave states, and Focus is one of six patented neuroacoustic software programs. You choose the session aligned with the brain wave state you want and follow its directions. Some sessions require an eyemask, quality headphones and a reclined, relaxed body, while others need only a portable speaker.
