Description
18 Advanced Brainwave Programs in One App! Sharp Mind induces optimized mental states ideal for school, exam preparation, confidence, problem solving, memory, creativity, confidence and learning. Combine Binaural Tones with iTunes Music, Audiobooks, Spotify * Built-in iTunes Playlist Creator * 21 Soothing Ambient Backgrounds and 10 Gentle Alarm Sounds. * Universal App * iPhone and iPad UIs HD&SD * Headphones/Earbuds must be worn for Binaural Tones to be Effective.
To combine Brainwaves and Ambience with Audio from Another App use Background Mode 'Ambience + Other App' in the Background Settings.
To use just Brainwaves and Audio from Another App use the "No Background" option for the Background Source.
Warning: These are powerful brainwave entrainment programs and should never be used while driving or operating machinery.
BrainWave Sharp Mind is unlike any other brainwave entrainment application. Other brainwave and binaural beat applications use only a single brainwave frequency and carrier signal. The Sharp Mind Progressive Brainwave Entrainment algorithms use a series of brainwave programs, multiple frequencies and carrier waves to gently bring your brainwave frequencies to your desired state using a more natural and effective frequency progression.
*** Advanced Features ***
- Multiple Brainwave programs each specially designed to elevate you to a unique mental state.
- Multiple ambient background sounds to choose from.
- Adjustable Brainwave Intensity - The intensity of the brainwaves can be adjusted independently of the ambient background sound. This allows you to set the brainwave volume to your comfort level. The application will also save your preference for future use.
- Adjustable ambient background volume.
- Visual timer countdown indicator.
- Automatic saving of preferred brainwave entrainment program and ambient background sounds.
- Ability to create your own custom time option.
*** Programs Included ***
- Brain Energizer: Takes you through a series of brainwave programs and progressively elevates your level of alertness.
- High Beta Concentration: Designed to put your mind into the ultimate state of focus and concentration. Ideal when you need to block out surrounding distractions and study.
- Creative Brainstorming: A series of brainwave programs that elevates your mind to a state of open-mindedness and creativity. Perfect for when you're stuck on a problem or are having difficulty coming up with an idea. Sit back and plug into this program to completely open your mind.
- Creative Problem Solving: The ultimate combination of focus and creativity achieved through a series of brainwave programs and frequency mixes.
- Gamma Memory Boost: This program was designed to be used whenever you feel like taking a break and letting what you've just learned sink in. This will help you maximize memory recall.

* How Binaural Brainwave Entrainment Works *
This app uses advanced Binaural Brainwave Entrainment to stimulate brainwave frequencies associated with different states of mind. These brainwave frequencies are in most cases inaudible and therefore must be induced through the use of binaural tones. In this process two different tones are played, one for one ear, and one for the other (headphones or earbuds must be used). When processing these two different tones the human brain perceives the difference as a beat matching the target brainwave frequency.

Version History
Latest: 9.4.1
This update includes UI improvements for iPad. The 10.0 update also includes several new settings as well as new binaural programs and background audio. The new options can be found in the General Settings, which are accessed by tapping the wrench-button on the main screen.
* Reduce Other App Volume - Option to enable audio ducking which instructs iOS to reduce the volume of other apps by 50% while this app is playing. iOS does not allow the volume reduction to be customized.
* Wave Amplitude Boost - Option to boost the amplitude of the binaural carrier waves by a fixed amount to provide an additional increase in volume. This option is provided as an on/off toggle setting.
* Carrier Signal (2 Options)- Option to switch between the default low-frequency binaural carrier wave and a medium carrier wave of ~250 Hz. This will not alter the frequency of the binaural tones. Example: A 1 Hz tone on a low-frequency carrier uses 121 Hz Left and 120 Hz Right, but with a Mid-carrier uses 221 Hz Left and 220 Hz Right.
* Option to export time spent listening to Relaxation and Meditation programs to the Apple Health App as Mindful Minutes.
* New Backgrounds *
- White Noise
- Brown Noise
- Energy Flow
- Solar Waves
- Supports Family Share
- Combine Brainwaves with Ambience and Another App by selecting background mode 'Ambience + Other App'
- To use Another App for the Background Audio choose 'Other App'.
- When using background modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing Lockscreen controls will only affect iTunes or the other app.
- If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio.
* How it Works *
During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambience, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise.
As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency.
Warning: Do not use this app while driving or operating machinery.
Note: If your vehicle Auto-Plays connected devices use the Ambience+Other background mode.

Haha iwie ja ganz witzig die töne find ich cool
Schitti
Benutzeroberfläche sieht vielversprechend aus. Ambient-Sounds sind ganz nett, bekommt man aber auch für gratis. Habe mir die App. Aufgrund der brain waves geholt und diese Funktion läuft ins leere. Die Entwickler dachten wohl, der Placebo Effekt wird den Rest beisteuern. Keinen Stern von mir.
super

Im really feeling it!
This app has made me study without disruption, focussing to the point where I can recall more clearly. My university studies wouldnt be the same without this app. Especially since there are so many different programs available. The customization that let you choose which let you change the background sound makes listening to the waves less boring over time. Ive been around some other apps and this is the best Ive seen.
Really Works!
I have a really stress job, and issues with falling asleep. Ive been using this ap at work to help keep focused and stay calm under tight deadlines/pressure, and using it at night to fall asleep to. This program really works in both instances. I love the fact I can customize how long it runs and usually keep it at an 8hour cycle. I have basic ap, so not sure what the upgrades offer but I wished the program also had soothing, the new-agey type, meditative music in the mix and other sounds besides the beach ocean. Bird song, or a babbling brook sounds would be great, for instance.
Inutile
Non scaricatela, non serve a niente!
My ears want to bleed
I am studying for comprehensive exams and bought this app. What a waste of money. I listened to the concentration boost and in the middle of the relaxing tone, a loud annoying high pitch began and it made my ears want to bleed. When I stopped it, my ears were ringing for a while. Awful!
