BrainAuram - Brain Waves & Binaural Beat Therapy

★★★★★ I haven't been able to validate the 'output' effects of this scientifically with qEEG, but, I can say how I feel when using this app for the first time tonight, that this is the real deal and will get you results. As far as I know, the 'default' brain wave setups are the proper Hz frequencies, and the 'time' allotted for each one seems to line up with what you'd see in a typical neurofeedback session. I cannot confirm or deny if it is a good idea or not to do two sessions of different waves back to back, but I did that and felt burnt out, but free, happy, for the first time in a long time. In the future I might space them out a little more. If you're unfamiliar with the method of action behind this, be careful. I also recommend using your own music, something that brings you, and invokes, happy feelings and thoughts. This will give you the most effective response to what you're trying to achieve. Great application. They did their research and their help and description screens are straight-forward, at least to someone who has some pre-existing knowledge about the subject. Personal recommendation would be to not exceed the default time settings for each domain being trained. You generally want to stick to 20 minute (maybe 30 minute max) sessions. Alternatively, though I don't recommend this, you can do two sessions back to back of different domains, but that can be dangerous. I'll add that if you're someone who is taking certain medications, or doing something that is more damaging with less medical, established proof (see ECT treatment) -- you might want to stop that, wait until you've come down from your last treatment, and give this a try. It is far less damaging. It's just a bit more intense if you aren't used to the results. A helpful note: * If you run a session and it ends, causing your music to fade and you start the session again, your audio will be decreased by 25-50% -- simply tap the 'background volume' slider to get it back to where it should be. * I don't know if the method of action here works the same as Traditional Neurofeedback, that is, I don't know if you can train these responses after ~21 sessions and will provide more insight after I've played with this a bit more.

★★★★★ I really like this app. Easy to use. Works perfect. It gets me to sleep quickly every night, which is normally impossible. Thank you developers

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't do what it's supposed to. Force closes itself far too many times. Having to restart the timer as it doesn't play for the duration. Totally fed up with this app.
