The Technology

One recording. Three ways to shift your state.

A single forehead sensor. Patented algorithms map your brain's electrical rhythm into harmonic, perceptually coherent sound — unique to you.

Relaxing

Alpha & theta · parasympathetic

Eases anxiety. Helps you fall asleep.

Shifts your EEG footprint toward a calm, restorative state.

Activating

Beta & gamma · cognitive readiness

Supports an alert, productive, focused state.

Tunes you toward alert, productive, focused readiness.

Meditative

Mood + EEG · personalized daily

A guided meditation for your state of mind today.

When you open the meditation file in the app, a color-sequence check-in helps you assess your mood. Algorithms then compose a fresh, individualized meditative track from your color choice and your EEG footprint.

In Their Words

Real Stories. Real Calm and Focused.

"Brain Music Therapy is simple, genius and effective!"
NT, Nutritionist & Wellness Coach
"With Brain Music Therapy I experience less mood swings, more calmness, and no more feeling of being on the edge."
Nancy Ring, DBT Therapist
"From the very first time that I listened to my Brain Music Therapy activating file, I felt it work. I felt more awake and increased my productivity."
Dr. Joan Mones, Pathologist
"It helped with my sleep, relieved anxiety and tension."
Vince Harmann, Business Executive
"I'm listening to my relaxing music before painting. It helps me to enter an emotionally balanced state before creating an art work."
Victoria Steinberg, Artist
"I am much calmer, and it is easier to talk to people. I recently got a promotion."
David Henson, Manager
"I thought it was an easy solution to a very big problem, because it's so easy to pop that CD in and let everything relax."
Karen Goldberg, School Teacher
"Now, after about a month of using the CD, I fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up fewer times during the night. Sometimes, I even fall asleep before the eight-minute-long relaxation file finishes. And I've never fallen asleep that quickly in my life."
Phil Colpas, Reporter
"I listened to it every night. It helps me sleep and to stay asleep and I find that I'm more relaxed and productive during the day."
Kathleen Caputo, Commercial Real Estate Manager

How a Session Works

Simple enough to feel effortless.

It took us three decades to make this bespoke modality this easy. Today the brain reading fits into five minutes — and your EEG footprint can be captured from several common neurofeedback devices.

1

Brief evaluation: mood, sleep, anxiety level, attention assessment — psychometrics

A short assessment of where you are today.

2

Five-minute reading

A single forehead sensor records your brainwaves while you simply rest.

3

Patented translation

Algorithms convert your unique signal into harmonic music files made only for you.

4

Your library + follow-up

You receive your relaxing, activating and meditative tracks, with recommendations and ongoing support. Your meditative track is made from your mood assessment by recent color selection and your EEG footprint.

Why People Choose It

A different kind of help — carried in your pocket.

Non-invasive

No needles, no implants — just a brief recording of your own brain.

No side effects

It's your own music; nothing is added to your body.

Five minutes

One short recording becomes a library you keep and use for life.

No prescriptions

A drug-free option to start with, add to, or step toward with your doctor.

Always with you

Your files live in an app, ready whenever and wherever you need them.

Cost-effective

One session, files you keep.

The Science

Three decades of research, carried across the world.

The method began in the sleep laboratory of Professor Vein at the I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy and the Moscow City Sleep Center, where Dr. Yakov I. Levin and Dr. Galina Mindlin worked together.

It has been developed, patented, and clinically applied ever since — studied across stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, productivity and focus, including an operational study with a first-responder population. Presented at multiple scientific conferences including NASA, and featured by major platforms such as Good Morning America, Today Show, Smithsonian and Talks at Google.

1990s · Moscow

Dr. Yakov Levin's team turns brainwaves into piano music at the Sechenov Academy.

1997–98

A controlled study of 58 patients demonstrates the method's clinical effect on insomnia. The method is patented.

2000s · U.S.

Dr. Mindlin brings Brain Music to New York, develops new clinical applications, and works with providers across the United States.

2020 – Recent

The technology now fits into a 5-minute recording. A personalized Meditative File is introduced, based on mood assessment and personal EEG footprint. A new patent is filed by Dr. Mindlin and her Brain Music International team.

Today

A refined platform with readings from common neurofeedback devices and a growing global provider network.
