What You Experience
Calm
Sessions designed to help your body shift out of stress mode.
Focus
Extended periods of deep work and analytical clarity without burnout.
Ease
Enhanced integration of sensory input, reducing overload and grounding the nervous system.
Creativity
Guided sessions targeting theta and gamma rhythms, for creativity and introspection.
Tailored for every brain. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — our sound journeys are research-informed for every kind of mind: typical, ADHD, autistic or AuDHD.
You listen. Your brain synchronizes.
You don't need to force the change. Your biology does the work.
The FMB journey is fundamentally passive. You simply choose your listening medium — headphones or speakers, depending on the sound journey — press play, and let your brain do what it does best: synchronize. Because the process requires zero cognitive effort, it is highly accessible — allowing the nervous system to regulate without the burden of active participation. Regular sessions help you build a routine you can return to.
Where Art and Sound Meet Neuroscience
A brain-entrainment platform: sound sessions built from EEG research, with optional EEG tracking so you can see your own response. Frequencies for the Mind and Body (FMB) delivers personalized brain entrainment sessions using sound to support focus, emotional regulation, and access to altered states of consciousness.
By leveraging spatial audio design, we design deeply immersive sonic environments — music and layered sound provide the art; the underlying rhythms provide the precision. This multidisciplinary approach speaks directly to the nervous system to support shifts in state.
Built on research. Measured on you.
Grounded in published EEG and MEG research on how the brain follows rhythm — we focus on how you feel and perform, backed by the mechanics of the auditory steady-state response. The efficacy of FMB relies on the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) — the brain's natural tendency to synchronize its electrical activity to the rhythm of external stimuli.
Split-hemisphere sound: unlike generic meditation apps, FMB can play a different rhythm to each ear — for example monaural beats or isochronic pulses (technically, dichotic sound). Because the auditory pathway is largely contralateral (left ear drives the right hemisphere, and vice versa), we can deliver different frequencies to each ear, so each hemisphere responds most strongly to the ear opposite it — the basis for FMB's split-hemisphere sound design.
FMB is a wellness product, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.
The Mind Behind the Frequencies
Sound Designer. Researcher. Developer.
FMB was born out of a singular obsession: mapping the exact point where rigorous neuroscience intersects with the transformative power of art.
I am Johann, the creator and lead developer of Frequencies for the Mind and Body. My background is multidisciplinary — I am a producer and sound designer, software developer and hardware prototyper who builds custom audio-visual synchronization rigs to test the limits of human brain entrainment and state of consciousness.
But data and hardware are only half the story. I believe that for a listening practice to truly take root, the experience must be beautiful. Frequencies are the science; music is the art. By collaborating with meditation artists and sound and visual designers, I aim to create environments that don't just support the nervous system, the mind and the body, but elevate consciousness.
My work is driven by a commitment to thorough research, automation, and making brainwave entrainment accessible. FMB brings research-backed methods into the daily lives of every kind of mind.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a headband or EEG device to use FMB?
No. An EEG headband (Muse) is optional — it lets you see your own brain activity during and after a session, but it's never required to press play.
Do I need headphones?
It depends on the sound journey. Some FMB journeys use split-hemisphere sound — a different frequency in each ear — and need headphones, since speakers mix both channels together before they reach you. Others use monaural or isochronic beats, already mixed into a single track, which work fine on speakers. You'll choose your listening medium before a session starts, and FMB shows you only the journeys built for it.
Is FMB safe?
Listening to FMB carries the same basic considerations as listening to any audio at a comfortable volume. FMB is a wellness product, not a medical device, so if you're managing a diagnosed health condition, check with your doctor before starting any new listening practice.
Is FMB a medical treatment?
No. FMB is a wellness product, not a medical device — it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. If you're managing a diagnosed condition, use FMB alongside your care, not instead of it.
What is brainwave entrainment?
Brainwave entrainment is your brain's tendency to synchronize its electrical activity to a rhythm it hears — known as the auditory steady-state response (ASSR). FMB plays a steady sound rhythm, and your brainwaves tend to follow it toward that rhythm's frequency.
Why does FMB use monaural and isochronic beats instead of binaural beats?
Because the evidence for binaural beats is mixed, while monaural beats evoke larger brain responses in lab recordings. A 2023 systematic review of 14 binaural-beat studies found 5 supportive, 8 contradictory and 1 mixed. Monaural beats (two tones mixed into one signal) and isochronic beats (a single tone that pulses on and off) put the rhythm in the sound itself; binaural beats (a different tone in each ear) exist only in your brain. A bigger brain response doesn't guarantee a bigger effect on how you feel — that link is still being studied.
When does FMB launch?
FMB will open as a free beta, in invite batches, once its first 28 sound journeys are finished and tested — Seiiki Retreat and Turīya participants first. Join the wait list and we'll email you the moment your invite is ready.
