Metal Mix Cognition Enhancer For ADHD, Clearer and Faster Thinking

Published 2022-09-08
A metal mix version of my 'Cognition Enhancer' isochronic tones session for clearer and faster thinking. Helpful for ADHD. Enter a state of relaxed focus while working/studying.

What does this track do?

This music can be used for longer study or homework sessions and will help you to maintain a good level of concentration and focus, while at the same time feeling quite relaxed.

This track contains isochronic tones, which are the repetitive beats you hear behind the music. After around 5 or 6 minutes your brainwaves start to synchronize with the frequency of the tones. Then, as the tones change and cycle up and down through a specific frequency range, your brainwaves follow along in step with them. This process is known as brainwave entrainment.

The ‘beat’ frequencies used in this track range between 10 to 20 Hz, which means they beat at between 10 to 20 times per second. At the lowest end of 10Hz, this is known as the Alpha frequency range, which is a reasonably relaxed mental state. At the highest 20Hz frequency you go up into the Beta range. When you are awake, alert and focused during the day, your brain’s dominant frequency will be in the Beta range.

When we are studying or doing things that are mentally taxing, we might feel very alert and focused, but we are also a little tense, perhaps because of the importance of what we are working on, or maybe because we are under a time deadline. This extra pressure can cause mental blocks and make it harder for you to think on your feet.

This isochronic tones session is designed to help overcome that problem, by increasing your levels of Alpha and Beta brainwave activity. So you get the benefit of having increased beta activity which is good for concentration, but at the same time, you have enough Alpha activity to be relaxed, resulting in a state of relaxed focus, where you can think more clearly and overcome mental blocks.

Headphones are recommended

You can use this session without headphones, but to get the full benefit of the stimulation, particularly if you have ADHD, you need to wear headphones.

This is an advanced ‘split hemisphere’ isochronic tones session, which stimulates each ear with a different beat frequency. Your right brain is stimulated within the 10 to 14Hz range, and your left brain between 10 to 20Hz, making the left more dominant. The left brain is associated with logic, analysis, maths, language, facts and reasoning, so it can be beneficial to have the left more dominant when studying or other similar mentally taxing activities.

ADD/ADHD

ADD and similar disorders are often characterized by "slow-wave" EEG patterns, particularly in the left frontal region. So this track can also provide relief for ADD/ADHD symptoms by increasing the frequency of the brainwave activity in the left brain.

How should you listen to this?

You can listen to this track with your eyes open while studying, reading or doing other activities that require a higher level of concentration. You can also sit somewhere quiet and relaxing and use it as a form of mental meditation with your eyes closed.

When to listen?

It is best to use this during the daytime and early evening, but not too close to bedtime. Because this track stimulates your brain to a more alert and focused state, it’s not suitable for listening to while sleeping, as it will probably disrupt your sleep.

How Loud Should The Volume Be?

Play it at a volume level you feel comfortable with. It should be loud enough to hear the repetitive isochronic tones, but not so loud that it’s uncomfortable for you. Somewhere in the middle is my recommendation.

  • I honestly don't even have words for what you and your music have done for me. So I'll just say thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
  • @Richman4066
    'Beautiful' isn't usually the first thing that comes to people’s minds when they think of metal music, but the first 50 seconds really were just that
  • @elizabethg.32
    As a self proclaimed metal head, I'm excited about this one! 🤘🤘🤘
  • Man, so far i cant help but crank it up almost full volume and keep tapping my leg and foot right in the coffee shop while working 😄 awesome powerful mix
  • @stenomaestro
    I love this! I'm a huge metal fan but anything with lyrics or too proggy is a no-go for my studying. This is absolutely perfect, thank you!
  • @daur2965
    I’m not a metal head but I absolutely love this .. it rocks .. thank you
  • @jiwoolee5082
    Your spectrum of creation knows no limit. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.

    Been listening to this channel for several months. It works incredibly well for me, especially late at night when I don't want more Adderall (or even caffeine) to stay on that last crunch-time task. (For you other ADHDers, crunch-time is life, right? Didn't want to do it for 2 weeks, but now it is due, tomorrow, so gotta stay up until 2:30 am and make sure you look competent ... right?) Anyway: Here's $10 for this single track. I'm going to wear it out quickly, so please do another! The "Upbeat" focus music with deep bass was a huge upgrade for me from my "heavy metal study mix." Drum & Bass is life. This track is a dream come true.

    I have adhd, and this was more effective than I thought it would be honestly. Nice shit.
  • So awesome. Been battling ADD for almost 10 years now. This kind of thing helps.
  • if i could have found this channel way back in my first year of college, I think I would have had a much easier time. This type of metal is the kind of thing I would blast in high school when I had to study, but by the time I actually needed to work hard at studying for college, my old metal instrumentals just weren't cutting it anymore. I found this channel about a year ago in my last year of college and the DIFFERENCE it made was unparraelled. I got so much work done so much faster, even a few weeks before my official ADHD diagnosis (which also helped to make my last semester so much more fun since I actually enjoyed school and assignments again). Anyways, now that I've graduated, I'm still listening to this channel for when I work on my novel or even when I'm just playing games on my phone. This mix in particular is probably my new favourite of yours! Would love more metal/rock/punk mixes!
  • @megannnB
    Using this to lock in at school- everyone said to use lofi but thissssssss is much more my style
  • Love this. It takes me back to high school when I would only be able to concentrate on my homework while listening to metal. Thank you!
  • @nadiaaddasi
    This makes me feel like I'm back in middle school studying with Stone Temple Pilots playing on the radio and I love it!

    As a old school metal head and somebody who struggles with add ADHD and a whole bunch of other mental health issues this is the best thing I have found whenever I'm just in a fog or off in another world of my own to escape my life so I can get ahold of whatever mental health issue I may have going on at the moment your music helps bring me back to earth and out of my mind and my own world so I can get my head screwed back on straight and figure out what I was doing and get back to it and for that man I'm truly truly grateful because ain't ever body in the world got the talent or skills to put something like this together and it actually works and helps people out but keep on keeping on your going to go just as far as you'll ever want to go sky's the limits with you talent and skills just blown away don't even have enough words to describe it love it keep rockin on
