00:29 🎧 40 Hz binaural beats enhance focus and concentration by influencing brainwave frequencies and neurochemicals like dopamine and acetylcholine. 02:26 🔊 White noise, pink noise, and brown noise aid transition into focused states and amplify activity in the prefrontal cortex. 05:21 🏃 Mental focus requires a warm-up similar to physical activities. Gradually ramp up neurochemicals like epinephrine, adrenaline, acetylcholine, and dopamine. 07:14 🔄 Focus is dynamic, not a step function. Expect variations in depth and recognize that improving focus is a learned ability through neuroplasticity. 08:12 💤 Optimize sleep, use sound-based tools like binaural beats or white/pink/brown noise to enhance focus and concentration.

1. 40Hz binaural beats increase focus and concentration. 2. Before work(Short focus), throughout work(long term focus) 3. white, pink, brown noise help decrease the transition time into focus (also helpful) 4. Mental focus needs warmup

[@jackoply7406]

Thanks Andrew your tips have changed my life, I started listening to this via brainwaves app first thing when I wake up "as I am not a morning person"I find this as a motivator to get up out of bed, do the level where I am able to be focused enough to do a full workout in the morning and take a ice bath instead of a energy drink and a vape. Your credibility as a neuroscientist has given me enough encouragement to be patient with the tools you have provided and now I've successfully given up vaping and lost 14 kg. Also lowered my blood pressure from 170 systolic to 130. Thanks mate

Hey guys- I just wanted to let you know that I made a vid on a channel with pure 40 Hz binaural beats. I found my concentration really does increase. Made a vid for pink noise as well, and I made 7Hz with rain noise too. Hope this helps!

I am using morphic fields and binaural beats for years on many aspects, and if you are receptive to those kind of energies, they are doing miracles.

Hi everyone, i recently learnt you can create ur own binaural beats using audacity; a free audio software. ive been experimenting with a binaural beat i made in the 40hz range. ive set left channel to 40hz and right channel to 47.83 hz, creating a binaural beat of 7.83 hz (the Schumann resonance) ive also added a quiet background layer of brownian noise behind. i can say it is has so far been great for improving focus, learning and creativity if used during work at the computer or table work, and induces a level of calm and clarity. this is a great topic and im looking forward to learning more about it. thanks for the upload.

[@tigana]

Wait.... This might be why dubstep helps me study. Not the exact same as binaural beats, but the concept of slightly differing beats in each ear is really common in that genre

[@denisavey11]

Thanks, Dr. Huberman! Also worth noting that there is compelling data on 40 Hz sound (+light) as a therapy for Alzheimer’s. The mechanism is thought to be mediated by recruitment of microglia and increased clearance of amyloid plaques.

[@ChristineHals]

I'd love to know more about this - and I wish Andrew would make a podcast about what happens when someone gets dementia/Alzheimer's.

[@charlesyork454]

Dr. Huberman, What does the literature say about use of binaural beats for kids? Say 6-15. Has child and teenage brain developed enough to use binaural beats for concentration and focus? Perhaps time used would be less?

Hello, I've been using binaural beats before some creative sessions. I have a question, do they stimulate dopamine? and, if so, are they something I should use sparingly to maintain dopamine and motivation levels

I’m listening to binaural beats right now as I listen to this lol. Downloaded the app a few weeks ago after listening to this episode. I love it! So handy being able to pick the particular activity/program, and I have noticed a difference. I will pay closer attention to the 40hz/gamma programs. Curious to know the efficacy of the other frequencies. It’s not zero cost sadly, but absolutely worth the small one time charge. Thank you Andrew!

Does sustained use of Binaural Beats decrease in efficacy over time? Put another way: let's say I keep them on all the time, every time I work - will they work less over time?

Would like to know too.

[@ankitayadav7224]

Overusing any frequency beats is very dangerous Should be used less than 90mins at a low volume

[@wayoflife566]

No it will still work the same in fact the more you use if the more reinforces the effect but don’t over do it cuz some people say it can make really tired but I don’t get that so I don’t know much about about side effects

[@hamster1326]

Wait why not use it every time you work if it helps focus? Is it bad for the brain if used too much? Or is it habit forming which then causes you to need to have them playing to be able to focus?

What about using 40 hz binaural beats along with Pomodoro method: 25 minutes focused work with this sound -> followed by 5 min breaks X 4 -> one hour break. Would this be a beneficial application Dr. Huberman??

Hi Dr Huberman, love your work. Would this help me as I only have 60% hearing in my right ear for which I need a hearing aid and no hearing in my left ear. I’ve also been doing your NSDR protocols, I meditate and practice yin yoga every day just to keep on top of my hectic life. My long term memory is very good but my short term memory is shot. I am a 67 year old woman and anything I can do to help my mental well being is a must do. I have trouble getting to sleep but am managing reasonably well and I’m very active. I understand your advice is purely general in nature and not as a replacement for professional help as I can’t afford to go to a professional. Isabella ❤️

[@MindsetBliss]

Yes and. Yes, I agree that it's normally not easy to pop-into a focused state, and... it's possible! 1. go there 1st, taking as much time as needed, and then 2. Anchor that state, so you can 3. later trigger it almost instantly. Watch a good hypnotist onstage, trigger "sleep" (deep relaxation) and notice how quickly active volunteers, snap into that relaxed (focused) state. For sure, it needs to be conditioned for consistency. Dr. Huberman, love your content!

Hi Andrew, i discovered your yt channel, and your content is really interesting, especially for someone like me. I m professionnal poker player playing high stakes online, and working on my mindset is something essential, so thanks for what you bring me now and in the future! I have a specific question about the way the brain is working, and how to handle with it: when i m playing a poker session, it can be very difficult when you encounter a big downswing by losing many big pots consecutively in a short period of time. At first, it creates like a bug for our human brain, and it has a big impact on the focus. Even if you were deeply focus few minutes ago, this could fall down very quickly, so i was wondering if you have scientific knowledge about that, or ressources?

[@89dirtybird]

So now this makes me curious 🤔. I am very picky when it comes to sound quality. I have tuned my car system to be most effective between 35-45hrtz. I use test tones to feel the sweet spots which is allot closer to 40-43hrtz. (1 1000w 10" woofer and 1 500w 12" woofer and 1000w amplifier)90bd is about right for me to have a very relaxing feeling going with the right music. Would it be accurate to assume if you scale up the binary tones like I have.....would it in affect be subjecting your entire body to this neurological stimulant? Over time contant exposure causing a sort of ability to be able to sort of stair step ones focus rapidly?🧐🤔🤓🤷‍♂️

[@harsh6757]

First thing first !! NEVER USE BINAURAL BEAT WHILE U ARE DRIVING ...even if it's to increase focus..

[@kochtess]

Non affiliated pure 40hz brainwave site two separate beats (headphones) one in each ear gets recognized by brain as a 3rd beat. Dopamine release after 3rd beat recognized ? Dopamine release causes recognition of 2 beats as a 3rd? How long does the 3rd beat/hum tend to keep going/resonating?

[@nathanramsundar2403]

Whats the exact 2 frequencies?

[@nykka3]

Thanks!

[@Yodaddynyomama]

Can you use 4 through 7 Hz of binaural beats to help you reach your subconscious level?

[@agoogolofgeese]

Do they have the same effectiveness when other sounds are added? Such as music and field recordings

[@bigjoegoesnowhere]

You missed something crucial -- the sine waves need to be different frequencies, not just 40hz. I wish you'd discuss what gap between hz is recommended... something like 40hz on one side and 46 hz on the other or whatever that gap may be.

I wonder if certain similar binaural beats can help with sleep. I've seen a number of free "sleep promoting" beats or music online but couldn't really find any evidence of efficacy. If I'm right and there isn't any evidence whatseover, I wonder if we can make a reasonable assumption that these types of audio clips likely improve any aspects of sleep

The app would probably be best, because in some cases the audio is generated in the app instead of being pre generated and imported into the app which may cause the audio quality to drop, that's the same problem with KZbin because audio files get compressed a little. So just generate your own using some app. I use 'Relaxing Soundscapes: Binaural' on android.
