The Brain Song is based on principles from neuroscience and sound therapy, aiming to enhance cognitive function by stimulating a brain protein called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF plays a vital role in memory, learning, and brain plasticity — the brain’s ability to form and reorganize neural connections.
The audio track uses a technique called neural entrainment, where specific soundwave frequencies are used to guide the brain into optimal states for focus, clarity, and learning. These frequencies work by syncing brainwave activity — for example, encouraging alpha and theta waves, which are associated with relaxation, creativity, and memory processing.
Dr. James Rivers, the neuroscientist behind the program, was inspired by studies from Harvard University and brain research in Shaanxi, China, which showed that sound stimulation can influence brain chemistry and promote cognitive resilience.
By listening to the 17-minute track daily, users may naturally boost BDNF levels, support healthy neural activity, and improve brain performance — without drugs or supplements.
