About this app

Brain Stimulator empowers you with the ability to play sensory stimuli at a set frequency, enabling ultimate brainwave entrainment.

Brainwave activity can differ significantly between regions of the brain. Popular brainwave entrainment solutions such as binaural beats and isochronic tones may impact brain waves within parts of the brain that process auditory stimuli, but much of the brain is dedicated towards processing visual information. Brain Stimulator uniquely enables you to entrain brainwave activity through the visual, auditory, and somatosensory (touch) systems simultaneously.

Brain Stimulator includes four powerful brainwave stimulators:

📱 Visual: Screen
By switching between two user-specified colors at the desired frequency, Brain Stimulator can entrain brainwave activity through the visual cortex. It is recommended to turn your brightness up.

📳 Touch
Using haptic feedback, Brain Stimulator vibrates your device at the specified frequency. This allows brainwave entrainment through somatosensation - touch! Research suggests that haptic stimulation can entrain brainwave activity, and may even have an impact on mood.

🔦 Visual: Torch
Just like a strobe light, Brain Stimulator is able to flash your device’s torch, or flashlight, at the desired frequency to entrain brainwave activity within the visual cortex.

🔉 Auditory
Brain Stimulator utilizes isochronic tones for auditory entrainment. Unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones do not require headphones to operate. The included isochronic tones range from 1-60hz and have been crafted using special audio software for extreme accuracy.

What are Brainwaves?
Brain waves are oscillating electrical voltages in the brain and can be recorded from electrical activity on the scalp using an electroencephalography (EEG) device. The most widely recognized brain waves are gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta.

It is thought that these brainwaves - frequencies - are associated with different states of arousal, emotion, thought, and more.

What is Brain Stimulator?
Brain Stimulator generates rhythms of stimuli to synchronize your brainwave to a specified frequency. For example: By flashing the screen 40 times per second (40Hz), brainwaves synchronize with the frequency.

How does Brain Stimulator work?
By utilizing hardware on your mobile device, Brain Stimulator can entrain your brainwaves to a specified frequency. There are countless studies involving brainwave entrainment to improve cognition, focus/memory, physical performance, sleep quality, and much more. A popular study found that 40Hz entrainment helped reduce key markers of Alzheimer's in rat models.

Who can use Brain Stimulator?
Do not use brain stimulator if you have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or are sensitive to flashing lights/colors. Please read the full terms of service before using this application: https://mindextension.online/terms-of-service/

Ratings and reviews

A very good application with a variety of options. I my opinion the "torch" version in which your phone's flashlight blinks to the rate and speed you have informed it is the most effective option. I put it on for 1 minute at 12 to 14 hz and keep it at medium length from my face with closed eyes and it definitely has some effect on my overall mood and cognition. As far as I know there is only one other app that does this on Android but this one is more polished and complete.

DEFINITELY proceed with caution if you have epilepsy ~ specifically photosensitivity. Ap is neat and could only use on the touch function - the others risked triggering my seizures. Ap does warn about this which I was thankful for because I had some awareness and was able to prevent an issue.

Is it possible to keep vibrating when the screen is off?

What's new

- New feature: Enable 'Screen frequency overlay' within advanced settings to show the active real frequency during screen entrainment. This is calculated by dividing how often your screen changes color every second.
- Improved performance during screen enhancement
- Bug fixes
