Hi, I'm Takeo Fujii. In order to achieve overwhelming results in your studies and work, you need something called "concentration.
According to a 2015 research report by a Microsoft research team, it was surprisingly revealed that the modern human being's ability to concentrate only lasts for eight seconds.
If you've arrived at this article, then you're hoping to beat your current performance by far by improving your concentration.
What I'm going to introduce to you this time is "Brain.fm," a background music application for work that increases your concentration by an order of magnitude.
The explanations in this article are brought to you by myself, who has been using it since December 2017 until now, to bring you realistic explanations. (I myself have been usingBrain.fmI am a paying user of)
Many bloggers in Japan have been describing Brain.fm. I'm writing this article out of a pure desire to make more people aware of the appeal of this music app. This is a long article, but please take the time to read it to the end, as this music app can really improve your productivity.
What is Brain.fm?
Brain.fm is a music app with patented AI technology built in.It is very different from the "work background music" often found on YouTube.
A lot of background music for work has been released under the title of "BGM for Concentration.
The biggest difference between them and Brain.fm is that Brain.fm has been scientifically backed by repeated experiments in cooperation with brain scientists and psychologists.
For the past four years, I have been searching for background music for work all over the world. I have even purchased background music for work on overseas sites for $40 per song.
Still, to date, I have not found any background music for work that surpasses Brain.fm.
I actually used Brain.fm.
Brain.fm is the most powerful music app for productivity.
In order to avoid such a situation, I will explain how to use it with pictures.
By the way, how to create an account?this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)It is explained in

The music playback screen has now opened. Press the ▷ button in the middle here to play the music.
This is a quick overview of the basic usage of Brain.fm.
Benefits of Brain.fm (advantages)
Next, I will list the advantages of using Brain.fm.
Four types of music that increase productivity
Brain.fm offers more than just "music to help you concentrate". There is also music for relaxation, good sleep, and meditation.
Which music is not your typical "music that might work."Music proven by the latest neuroscience and cognitive scienceIt is.
I can understand why you might wonder, "Hey, does this really work? However, Brain.fm has been working on research to create music that helps humans concentrate.U.S. National Science FoundationWe have received a grant of $225,000 from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). In Japanese yen, this is about 25.5 million yen.
This is not music made by amateurs in a haphazard way. I've been using it since December 2017, which is proof enough that it works.
If you listen to focus music, you will be able to concentrate much more quickly in about 15 minutes after you start listening.
When you listen to relaxation music, the tension that has been building up in your body will dissipate over time, and you will naturally be able to mentally release yourself.
If you listen to sleep music, you will gradually become sleepy.
In this way, you can freely use different music depending on your situation.
Playback time can be specified.
Brain.fm also allows you to specify the "play time" according to your working hours.
For example, you want to concentrate on your work for 90 minutes. For example, if you want to concentrate on your work for 90 minutes, you can simply specify 90 minutes as the playback time in the app.
Since I'm going out of my way, I'll show you how to actually set it up.
Here is a screenshot of me using Brain.fm on my iPad, which I use regularly.
First, to change the playback time in the app, press the clock symbol.
Then you can set the playback time. Just select "90 Min" here.
When the time set here is over, the music will automatically stop.
By setting the playback time, you can concentrate on your work for a set amount of time. Once you have set the time in Brain.fm, just put the earphones in your ears and get to work.
Then Brain.fm will turn off the playback when the time is up.
You can change the music according to your preference.
You can also press the music symbol to the left of the clock symbol.
You can change the genre of music. It's great to be able to freely change the music according to your own preferences.
It is compatible with smartphones and tablets.
Brain.fm can be used on computers, smartphones, and tablet devices. The app is available for both iOS and Android.
Being able to listen to music on a variety of devices means that you can use Brain.fm anytime, anywhere, depending on the situation. Whether you're on a train, working at a cafe, relaxing at home, or taking a walk. It's convenient to be able to use it in different places and at different times.
By the way, I have Brain.fm on all my computers, smartphones and tablets (iPad).
I listen to them on my computer at work, on my iPad at home, and on my phone when I go out.
I can no longer do without it in my daily life.
Now, on the other hand, I will explain the disadvantages of Brain.fm.
Disadvantages of Brain.fm
The only downside to Brain.fm is thatInability to download music in MP3 or other file formats.It is.
I use Brain.fm on my phone on a daily basis, so I don't find it too inconvenient.
However, when I listen to music on my Walkman, I do feel that it would be easier if I could put music from Brain.fm into my Walkman in MP3 format.
However, if we make it possible to download the music in MP3 format, there is a risk that more and more of Brain.fm's music will be leaked to the outside world and illegally uploaded to YouTube.
When you think about it, this is all you can do.
Brain.fm vs YouTube background music for work
Speaking of working background music on YouTube... When I was a junior in high school, YouTube's work background music helped me when I was studying for exams.
I remember studying for exams while listening to non-vocal music such as the sound of rain, white noise, forest sounds, and classical music.
However, the focused work background music uploaded on YouTube has not been scientifically tested in any way. Because of the large number of views, it gives the illusion that it is effective, but no one knows whether it is actually effective or not.
On the other hand.Brain.fm is scientifically verified background music.It was created through experiments with researchers from various academic institutions. It was created through experimentation with researchers from various academic institutions. Brain.fm's method for creating effective music has been patented. We have also published official research and findings.
Robby Smith, the captain of the US Olympic wrestling team, is also a Brain.fm user. He uses Brain.fm during his daily practice.
In other words, Brain.fm is not "music that seems to help you concentrate", but "music that helps you create deep concentration". So far I have used both free and paid music to help me concentrate. Among them, Brain.fm has been the most reliable and I have felt the effects of sustained concentration.

It is up to you to decide whether this price is high or low. For me, if I can get much deeper concentration for only 800 yen a month, I feel it is quite cheap.
In fact, it is thanks to Brain.fm that I am able to focus on the task at hand.
Increase learning efficiency, reduce wasted time, and improve the speed and quality of your work. All of this can be achieved by improving your ability to concentrate.
