Multi Point Drift

A staged journey: 6 Hz → 12 Hz → 4 Hz → 8 Hz, over 27 minutes.

Choose the full transition or begin at the advertised audio target. You can scrub and extend either path in the player.

Frequency journey

Why this journey

Open-ended creative work

For creative work, the changing texture is designed to stay interesting without becoming a foreground composition.

How to use it

Give the transition room

Ideation, sketching, free writing, and exploratory work without a rigid task rhythm. Start quietly and let the ramp unfold instead of judging the session in its first minute. The target then holds for 2 min by design. You can also start directly at the target, scrub the journey, or extend the hold in the player.

Signal, not a scan. The line shows the modulation rate generated in the audio. It is not an EEG reading and does not promise that brain activity will follow the curve. Listening responses vary.

Choose the spatial feel

This session starts in isochronic mode. You can change how the beat is delivered without changing the frequency journey, or add a Shepard-Risset carrier drift for a continuously falling timbre.

Monaural
Two tones summed before they reach you, so the beat exists in the air rather than being built in your head. Smoother and less percussive than isochronic, and it works on speakers.
Binaural— needs stereo headphones
Two carriers a few hertz apart, one per ear. The beat is constructed in your brainstem, so it needs stereo headphones to exist at all.
Poly-rhythmic— needs stereo headphones
Each ear gets its own carrier and its own beat, related by the golden ratio rather than driven in lockstep. Needs headphones — on a speaker the two channels sum and the distinction is lost.

Design character

How this one is built

Multi-waypoint trajectories, three to five points. Unlike a ramp these can rise before they fall, hold a plateau, or double back — shapes a two-point curve cannot express at all.

Listen responsibly

Brainwavest is a wellness and relaxation tool, not a medical device. Session names and guidance describe design intent, not a promised physiological result. Binaural mode requires stereo headphones. Start quietly, and never use rhythmic audio while driving. Read the full safety notes.
