Brainwaves are patterns of brain activity. There are five main types: delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma. Different brainwaves relate to different mental states, helping us understand our mind's activity. At alphabeats, we mainly focus on stimulating alpha waves. When people show strong alpha waves, they often say they feel relaxed and calm, but also very awake and focused. Tasks feel easy, like you’re in the flow. Our goal is to help you increase your alpha waves to achieve this state of calm focus.

We provide personalized neurofeedback by making subtle modifications to the music you're listening to. This process can help increase alpha brainwave production by up to 33%, and has been scientifically validated in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial. This result was later confirmed in another peer-reviewed study with elite soccer players.

Archery, like many sports relies heavily on focus and calm. In a study with the Dutch Olympic archery team, we found that over 70% of archers improved their ability to increase alpha brain waves at will. Participants in this study used alphabeats for 6 weeks. As alpha waves are associated with calm focus and flow state, having the ability to tap into it at will is extremely beneficial.

Professional athletes from a range of sports, including gymnastics and soccer, have acknowledged beneficial effects of alphabeats training. In particular, a published study with gymnasts highlighted that 66% acknowledged its positive effects, with 83% emphasizing its value for athletes. Additionally, we have many testimonials from (pro) athletes acknowledging the positive impact alphabeats has on their performance and well-being in general.
