## Key Facts

### Scientific Foundation
Binaural beats were first described by Oster, G. (1973), "Auditory beats in the brain," Scientific American, 229(4), 94-102. The phenomenon occurs when two slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear, and the brain perceives a third tone at the difference frequency, which can influence brainwave activity.

### 5 Brainwave Categories
ManifestedMe's 39+ presets are organized across the full brainwave spectrum:
- **Delta (0.5-4 Hz)**: Deep sleep, physical recovery, immune support
- **Theta (4-8 Hz)**: Deep meditation, creativity, subconscious access
- **Alpha (8-13 Hz)**: Relaxation, calm focus, stress reduction
- **Beta (13-30 Hz)**: Active focus, concentration, analytical thinking
- **Gamma (30-100 Hz)**: Peak performance, heightened perception, cognitive processing

### Ambient Sound Mixer
6+ layerable ambient soundscapes complement binaural beats sessions: rain, ocean, forest, white noise, pink noise, and brown noise. Each layer has independent volume control, allowing users to create personalized sound environments.

### Real-Time Visualization
Sessions include Skia-rendered waveform displays showing the current binaural beat in real time. iOS Live Activity support provides lock screen controls and remaining time display.

### Integration with Mood Tracking
Through the Convergence Model, binaural beat usage is correlated with mood data — allowing users to see which brainwave frequencies most positively affect their emotional state.

## How ManifestedMe Implements It
