Just to chime in here to agree - the first five work sessions I used Brain.fm I kept thinking "I really do feel more focused, I wonder if this is a placebo. Maybe it's a placebo." At this point, I think even if it is a placebo, it's helpful and great for my work. :)

I had the same train of though. I've been using it for years and while I am not sure if it's placebo or not, I can confirm that other music for work I've found online doesn't work as well for me. The "Relaxed focus" playlist is my favorite one.

Placebos get the worst rap. I think it's a startling human ability that should have way more research money going into it than it does. All hail placebo.
