On the brain.fm they list results, but they are super flimsy. For focus, for example, n=17, and the difference between music vs non-music is much smaller than the standard deviation of either group.

So it's possible this stuff helps you focus, but it doesn't appear to be showing up on these studies.

Giovanni responded to the main thread. I asked him to respond to this specifically but he's super busy. This is his response:

"He doesn't know what he is talking about. Means do not have to be a standard deviation away to make the result significant."

It's actually a really good result, for a number of reasons. But I'll let Giovanni respond to this later and clarify (he's the neuroscientist that wrote the paper).

I apologize for the delay, he's dealing with some family and health problems right now. But I promise we'll clear this up.
