Important Safety Note
The app includes full-screen flickering visuals (AVE, 1–40 Hz). If you have photosensitive epilepsy, seizure history, or concerns, disable AVE VIDEO SYNC in Player and consult a clinician.

1. Playing Frequencies While Using Other Audio (Spotify, etc.)
The audio engine requests playback focus and typically ducks or pauses other media apps.
Best Practices
- Use stereo headphones for true binaural beats.
- Use the app's built-in ambient layers (Rain, Stadium, colored noise, etc.) as background texture.
- For speakers: switch to Isochronic or Neural Lock (Pro).
- Workaround: play music from a second device at low volume.
Note: Binaural is most effective when the app has clean audio focus.
Neural Engine Modes
Binaural
Headphones • Most precise
Isochronic
Speakers • Strong pulses
Neural Lock Pro
Combined • Maximum intensity
Manual Controls & Carrier Frequency Presets
- Live CARRIER and BEAT display.
- Sliders: Master Volume, Carrier (40–800 Hz standard, dynamic slider expansion up to 2172 Hz for higher presets), Beat Frequency (1–40 Hz).
- Pulse Sharpness (soft sine vs hard square pulses).
Carrier Frequency Presets (Healing, Solfeggio & Cosmic Octave)

AVE Video Sync (Pro)
Use TEST AVE SYNC (5s) before longer sessions. Start with Eyes Open + low intensity.
12 background scenes • Eyes Open/Closed • Visual Intensity • Pulse Sharpness.
2. Meditative Exercises for Specific Goals
Combine Player presets + ambient + optional Visualize script.
| Goal |
Preset |
Beat |
Recommended |
| Sleep / Recovery | Deep Sleep / Somatic Repair | 2.5 Hz | Rain + Relaxation script |
| Relaxation | Meditation | 6 Hz | Heart Coherence |
| Focus / Productivity | Calm Focus → Deep Focus | 10–14 Hz | Performance scripts |
| Pre-Game Prep | Calm Focus / Pre-Game | 10–20 Hz | Stadium ambient |
| Clutch Performance | Peak Power / The Clutch | 15→40 Hz | High sharpness |
| Heart Rate Mgmt | Heart Coherence | 6 Hz + pacer | 5-min session |
3. Most Effective Ways to Use the App
- Short daily sessions (5–15 min) beat occasional long ones.
- Stack: Player entrainment → Visualize drill → optional Heart Coherence.
- Always complete your Focus Profile in Settings for personalization.
- Match frequency to intent (Delta/Theta for recovery, Alpha for calm focus, Beta/Gamma for activation).
- Use the sleep timer for bedtime sessions.
Pro tip: Run a short Player preset first to shift brain state, then start a matching Visualize script.
4. Creating Custom Scripts & Self-Talk Styles (Pro)
Access from Visualize tab (floating + button or edit icon on library scripts).
- Set target beat frequency (1–40 Hz)
- Write prompts with timing (5–120s each)
- Use tags:
[NAME], [SPORT], [TEAM], [POSITION], etc.
- Max 15 prompts
1st vs 2nd vs 3rd Person
2nd Person ("You...")
Most common in library. Feels like a coach. Excellent for performance and endurance.
1st Person ("I...")
Builds ownership and embodiment. Great for identity statements.
3rd Person ("[NAME]...")
Psychological distance. Reduces anxiety and rumination under pressure.
5. Heart Rate Coherence
Free 5-minute resonant breathing practice (~6 breaths per minute).
- Located in Player → Wellness Practice → Heart Coherence
- Focus attention on heart + cultivate appreciation
- Pro: Live BPM + average HR logged
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect in Settings for biofeedback.
6. Voice Calibration & Language Settings
Settings → Voice Calibration & Settings → Language
- Adjust pace (slower for calm) and pitch.
- Choose system voices (free) or cloud neural voices (Pro: Chirp HD / WaveNet in English and Spanish).
- Calibration applies to all guided visualization sessions.
- Language Switcher (English & Español): Toggle anytime in Settings → Language. Instantly switches the entire interface, drill scripts, role-specific vocabulary (e.g., Portero, Defensa, Centrocampista, Delantero), and voice engine locale without restarting.
7. Guided Mental Drills
Scripts auto-apply the target frequency and speak timed prompts.
Adjust global prompt pause in Settings → Visualization Drills (4–20 s).
"FOR YOU" section on Visualize is powered by your Focus Profile (primary domain + position/role/venue).
8. Science & Supporting Studies
Features draw from established research in brainwave entrainment, HRV coherence, mental imagery, and self-talk.
Key Areas
- Binaural beats & EEG following responses
- Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) for state induction
- Resonant breathing (~6 bpm) for HRV coherence (HeartMath research + large-scale studies)
- PETTLEP mental imagery model for athletes
- Self-talk perspective research (2nd person often superior for performance; 3rd person for emotional regulation)
