A 200-400% increase in focus time with the most active users. The average productivity in a one-hour focus@will session is 75% – which is far greater than most people who don’t use the service. There are also dips in usage over the weekends. Neuroscientists have recently discovered that certain types of personalized music can help you focus, reduce distractions, and maintain productivity when working and studying.

A study from a German university showed that this singing and breath training device increased the lung capacity of long COVID patients and had a better effect on high blood pressure patients than their medication. Specifically targeting the muscles involved with breathing, Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) allows users to develop bigger, stronger, and more efficient respiratory muscles.

This paper examines the effects of streamlined music on cognition and mood through a series of online experiments. Streamlined music, designed to minimize distractions and enhance focus, significantly improved measures of perceived focus, task persistence, and creative thinking compared to regular music.

(NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH (NIH.GOV) - Music has been shown to activate and reorganize the brain's neural pathways, promoting neuroplasticity. This is particularly evident in studies involving music therapy for stroke recovery, where patients showed improvements in motor function and cognitive abilities due to the brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself in response to musical stimuli​.

NIH.GOV - The preliminary research that has been done so far suggests that music-based interventions may be helpful for anxiety, depressive symptoms, and pain associated with a variety of health conditions, as well as for some other symptoms associated with dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions.

NIH.GOV - Music can engage broad and diverse networks in the brain, including areas responsible for emotion, memory, and motor control. The activation of these networks supports the idea that music can synchronize brain activity, leading to a state of harmony that enhances cognitive and emotional well-being.

NIH.GOV - A systematic review and meta-analysis published by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) found that music-based interventions can significantly reduce stress and improve mental health. The review analyzed 104 studies involving 9,617 participants and found that music interventions had beneficial effects on both physiological (heart rate, blood pressure) and psychological (anxiety, nervousness) measures related to stress​.

NIH.GOV - Research shows that music around 60 beats per minute can synchronize the brain with the beat, inducing alpha brainwaves associated with relaxation. This synchronization helps create an environment conducive to reducing stress levels​.NIH.GOV

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (APA) - music can improve the body's immune system function and reduce stress, highlighting its profound impact on mental health​.
