Is this why i can focus on coding so much better when listening to psytrance/goa?

I’ve always thought it was funny how the two situations for listening to edm were so different:

- alone doing intensely focused work

- in a huge crowd dancing and definitely NOT doing work

Yes. The paper found 2.4 Hz frequencies to be the secret sauce which is 144 BPM and in pystrance/goa range. I would guess that is common freq range for lfos and modulations as well.

I do the same. It is strange how psytrance/goa helps as external noise to drown out other distractions and so focus can be rationed.

I've found a bit of caffeine and some Astral Projection ideal for this. Care to share any favorite artists?

  • Not an artist per se but the app Endel is this continuous generated music with different "scenarios" for... well... different scenarios. IMO the full continuity is a game changer for focus.
