“Isn’t that just music?”
It’s the first thing most people ask. Every program has music in it, composed so the session is good to listen to. The part doing the work sits underneath.
Under the music is NuCalm’s patented neuroacoustic software. It’s designed to guide your brain waves slower or faster: slower for sleep and recovery, faster for focus and energy. Each product is built around its own range, which is why you pick by state of mind and never by the song.
That’s also why the headphones matter. The audio is designed for headphones (earbuds work too), and a speaker won’t deliver the same effect. DeepestSleep and DeepestSleep+ are the exceptions, built to play from a speaker on the nightstand all night.
You don’t have to take our word for it. The science page explains the mechanism in depth, and you can read the studies yourself.
How is it different from binaural beats?
Binaural beats are two slightly different tones, one in each ear, that the brain hears as a third rhythm. NuCalm’s audio is built on patented, non-linear patterns that are designed to keep shifting rather than repeat one fixed tone.
How much is under the music?
A typical song file is about 5 MB. One NuCalm neuroacoustic program is over 1,536 MB, about 307 times the size of a song.
Is the technology patented?
Yes. U.S. Patent No. 9,079,030, issued July 14, 2015: “Systems and methods for balancing and maintaining the health of the human autonomic nervous system.” U.S. Patent No. 11,090,459, issued August 17, 2021: “Methods and devices for applying dynamic, non-linear oscillations and vibrations [to elicit a physiological state change in humans].”
Which brain wave range is each product built around?
| Product | Range |
|---|---|
| DeepestSleep | Delta (4Hz - 0.5Hz) |
| DeepestSleep+ | Delta (4Hz - 0.5Hz) |
| Rescue | Alpha & Theta (12Hz - 4Hz) |
| PowerNap | Alpha & Theta (12Hz - 4Hz) |
| FlowState | Alpha (12Hz - 7.83Hz) |
| Focus | Beta (15Hz - 20Hz) |
