This clip is from the Huberman Lab episode "Focus Toolkit: Tools to Improve Your Focus & Concentration." The full episode can be found on RUclips here: ruclips.net/video/yb5zpo5WDG4/видео.html
1. 40Hz binaural beats increase focus and concentration.
2. Before work(Short focus), throughout work(long term focus)
3. white, pink, brown noise help decrease the transition time into focus (also helpful)
4. Mental focus needs warmup
What carrier frequency, though
Man, I just subscribed. I am a child psychiatrist and am always humbled by how much iI am learning from you Dr.Huberman. I plan on continuing to disseminate such knowledge in my practice too! Than very much.
Thanks so much for highlighting binaural beats! We have had so many of your amazing viewers come over and utilise the music on our channel! We absolutely love the Huberman Lab! Thanks again!
00:29 🎧 40 Hz binaural beats enhance focus and concentration by influencing brainwave frequencies and neurochemicals like dopamine and acetylcholine.
02:26 🔊 White noise, pink noise, and brown noise aid transition into focused states and amplify activity in the prefrontal cortex.
05:21 🏃 Mental focus requires a warm-up similar to physical activities. Gradually ramp up neurochemicals like epinephrine, adrenaline, acetylcholine, and dopamine.
07:14 🔄 Focus is dynamic, not a step function. Expect variations in depth and recognize that improving focus is a learned ability through neuroplasticity.
08:12 💤 Optimize sleep, use sound-based tools like binaural beats or white/pink/brown noise to enhance focus and concentration.
thanks
Thanks Andrew your tips have changed my life, I started listening to this via brainwaves app first thing when I wake up "as I am not a morning person"I find this as a motivator to get up out of bed, do the level where I am able to be focused enough to do a full workout in the morning and take a ice bath instead of a energy drink and a vape. Your credibility as a neuroscientist has given me enough encouragement to be patient with the tools you have provided and now I've successfully given up vaping and lost 14 kg. Also lowered my blood pressure from 170 systolic to 130.
Thanks mate
wow congrats!
This clips changed my life ❤️ absolute gem of clips, although i prefer to listen him full but sometimes this important clips help a lot saving a lot of time for the main content.

Can you upload more clips. I like to listen podcasts too but sometimes it's easier to get short doses info.
The full version of episode 88 that he links to presents as a bunch of chapters broken into pretty short segments, for example there is a chapter, segment on binaural beats app, etc.
You can just listen to the podcast in short doses
@@Eysc i have used the app but they want money for cross platform use. I can use notion for. It's but slow but does the work but I tend to use Google notes app on my phone because i can use cross platform simultaneously.
@@GE0attack use syncthing (free) to solve the sync problem.
@@Eysc i using brain waves app in ch play.When listening to gamma waves, what is the optimal frequency range for left and right waves in brainwave app?.i don't know setup in my app
Ahh thank you for this clip!! This was so helpful and reassuring to people who aren't aware of their biology and its function and how to work best with it. I'm still watching the earlier episode on Focus before watching the Toolkit one.

Fascinating, thank you. I appreciate the idea of thinking of focus as something that you warm-up to do.
Hey guys- I just wanted to let you know that I made a vid on a channel with pure 40 Hz binaural beats. I found my concentration really does increase. Made a vid for pink noise as well, and I made 7Hz with rain noise too. Hope this helps!
Thank you, so kind of you 🙏 to post such valuable information
Awesome info!! Just downloaded. Thank you.
Thanks, Dr. Huberman! Also worth noting that there is compelling data on 40 Hz sound (+light) as a therapy for Alzheimer’s. The mechanism is thought to be mediated by recruitment of microglia and increased clearance of amyloid plaques.
I'd love to know more about this - and I wish Andrew would make a podcast about what happens when someone gets dementia/Alzheimer's.
Pedant reporting in: pink noise isnt specifically about the frequencies present (it's noise; they're all present) but the energy at specific frequencies.
The fact that I work swing shift job does not help me at all. Every week is a diffrent sleep pattern for me. I will defenily try these apps and keep listening to you for advise. I do find this science very engaging and interesting. Thank you
I am using morphic fields and binaural beats for years on many aspects, and if you are receptive to those kind of energies, they are doing miracles.

me too. Feel sorry for people who are not open enough to try.
It would be nice to see an entire episode on sound therapy, and where does science stands on the subject?
I’m listening to binaural beats right now as I listen to this lol. Downloaded the app a few weeks ago after listening to this episode. I love it! So handy being able to pick the particular activity/program, and I have noticed a difference. I will pay closer attention to the 40hz/gamma programs. Curious to know the efficacy of the other frequencies. It’s not zero cost sadly, but absolutely worth the small one time charge. Thank you Andrew!
Which app?
Which app?
@@alexanderwindh4830 sorry never got a notification for this. You probably found it by now, but its called BrainWave. He has it linked in the description of the full episode
@@brightfringe its called BrainWave. He has it linked in the description of the full episode
I thought they had some sounds with subscriptions, no?
Dr. Huberman,
What does the literature say about use of binaural beats for kids? Say 6-15. Has child and teenage brain developed enough to use binaural beats for concentration and focus? Perhaps time used would be less?
Sir Huberman, I do have a question regarding the Premium subscription. Would you reply to the asked questions on video episodes or in written form?
I spent several hours most days listening to binaural beats, morphic beats, isotronic tones, rife frequencies etc. I use them because I can FEEL that they help, and it is NOT a placebo effect. Just try it our yourselves long enough to make a difference.
Sir Huberman Can you pls make a video on da vinci routine.What if we follow his routine and sleep cycle
It’s not scientific therefore no😂 (joke)
Hi Andrew, i discovered your yt channel, and your content is really interesting, especially for someone like me. I m professionnal poker player playing high stakes online, and working on my mindset is something essential, so thanks for what you bring me now and in the future! I have a specific question about the way the brain is working, and how to handle with it: when i m playing a poker session, it can be very difficult when you encounter a big downswing by losing many big pots consecutively in a short period of time. At first, it creates like a bug for our human brain, and it has a big impact on the focus. Even if you were deeply focus few minutes ago, this could fall down very quickly, so i was wondering if you have scientific knowledge about that, or ressources?
Wait why not use it every time you work if it helps focus? Is it bad for the brain if used too much? Or is it habit forming which then causes you to need to have them playing to be able to focus?
What about using 40 hz binaural beats along with Pomodoro method: 25 minutes focused work with this sound -> followed by 5 min breaks X 4 -> one hour break. Would this be a beneficial application Dr. Huberman??
Wait.... This might be why dubstep helps me study. Not the exact same as binaural beats, but the concept of slightly differing beats in each ear is really common in that genre
Thank you!
Hi Dr Huberman, love your work. Would this help me as I only have 60% hearing in my right ear for which I need a hearing aid and no hearing in my left ear. I’ve also been doing your NSDR protocols, I meditate and practice yin yoga every day just to keep on top of my hectic life. My long term memory is very good but my short term memory is shot. I am a 67 year old woman and anything I can do to help my mental well being is a must do. I have trouble getting to sleep but am managing reasonably well and I’m very active. I understand your advice is purely general in nature and not as a replacement for professional help as I can’t afford to go to a professional. Isabella ❤️
Yes and. Yes, I agree that it's normally not easy to pop-into a focused state, and... it's possible! 1. go there 1st, taking as much time as needed, and then 2. Anchor that state, so you can 3. later trigger it almost instantly. Watch a good hypnotist onstage, trigger "sleep" (deep relaxation) and notice how quickly active volunteers, snap into that relaxed (focused) state. For sure, it needs to be conditioned for consistency. Dr. Huberman, love your content!

The Binural Beats app isn’t free in the UK. Just wanted to check. I followed the link given.
Non affiliated pure 40hz brainwave site two separate beats (headphones) one in each ear gets recognized by brain as a 3rd beat. Dopamine release after 3rd beat recognized ? Dopamine release causes recognition of 2 beats as a 3rd? How long does the 3rd beat/hum tend to keep going/resonating?
This channel is huuuuge to humanity
Binaural beats Pure tones of 420 Hz and 460 Hz presented to the left and right ear, respectively, were perceived as a 40-Hz BB with a 440 Hz fundamental tone.
Ross, B., Lopez, M.D. 40-Hz Binaural beats enhance training to mitigate the attentional blink. Sci Rep 10, 7002 (2020).
Do they have the same effectiveness when other sounds are added? Such as music and field recordings
Does it matter if 40hz in gamma,theta,delta alpha waves?
Huberman, what do you think about the Endel sound generator as a help to fokus? Its also h cood help for the circadien rhytm..
I love Endel
Thanks!
Would it even work if you’re partial deaf in one ear?
How about binaural beats for sleep or while sleeping?
1:48
5:10
Whats the exact 2 frequencies?
I've got no trouble with deep concentrated focus; it's pulling myself out of that state and back into the present moment that's a challenge. JIC u were all wondering lol
Hello, I've been using binaural beats before some creative sessions. I have a question, do they stimulate dopamine? and, if so, are they something I should use sparingly to maintain dopamine and motivation levels
He says yes they do stimulate dopamine production
@@ksurey9487 thank you! Ah i suspected as much I’ll go easy
So now this makes me curious 🤔. I am very picky when it comes to sound quality. I have tuned my car system to be most effective between 35-45hrtz. I use test tones to feel the sweet spots which is allot closer to 40-43hrtz. (1 1000w 10" woofer and 1 500w 12" woofer and 1000w amplifier)90bd is about right for me to have a very relaxing feeling going with the right music. Would it be accurate to assume if you scale up the binary tones like I have.....would it in affect be subjecting your entire body to this neurological stimulant? Over time contant exposure causing a sort of ability to be able to sort of stair step ones focus rapidly?🧐🤔🤓🤷♂️
First thing first !! NEVER USE BINAURAL BEAT WHILE U ARE DRIVING ...even if it's to increase focus..
I downloaded the app you linked but it wasn’t free and I cant find a way to choose 40 hz
When is it appropriate to listen to frequencies other that 40 hz?
The link to the brainwaves app isn’t in the description
Can one make use of Binaural Beats..if he can hear only from 1 ear ?
What about Hemi Sync?
which side ear has to have higher frequency i am very confused about this 🙃🙂 ... if anyone can help it would be great ...
Does it matter if 40hz in a specific binaural brainwave ie gamma, beta etc...
Do we need headphones for this?
Is there any binural beat to develop photographic memory
Does it work if you listen only on one ear
I wonder if certain similar binaural beats can help with sleep. I've seen a number of free "sleep promoting" beats or music online but couldn't really find any evidence of efficacy. If I'm right and there isn't any evidence whatseover, I wonder if we can make a reasonable assumption that these types of audio clips likely improve any aspects of sleep
I’m curious about this too. I’ve been using the ‘dreamy sleep’ program on the BrainWave app and have seemed to have more dreams, or at least ones I remember (I generally don’t).
I concentrate very well with
20Hz Beta Waves at (108Hz)

On RUclips music.
00:50 3:50 6:05
Does sustained use of Binaural Beats decrease in efficacy over time? Put another way: let's say I keep them on all the time, every time I work - will they work less over time?
Would like to know too.
Overusing any frequency beats is very dangerous
Should be used less than 90mins at a low volume
No it will still work the same in fact the more you use if the more reinforces the effect but don’t over do it cuz some people say it can make really tired but I don’t get that so I don’t know much about about side effects
what about if only listen from one side? 😅
I assume you can use the beats to meditate with
Does binaural beats work long term?
What about YT channels like "Binaural nutrition" or "sapien medicine", do these have any legitimacy ?
Can some point me to a free and best iPhone app for this tool ?
You missed something crucial -- the sine waves need to be different frequencies, not just 40hz. I wish you'd discuss what gap between hz is recommended... something like 40hz on one side and 46 hz on the other or whatever that gap may be.
40hz is better than white noise pink noise or brown noise
In belgium we have smart people from the Monroe institute. You can use some difference frequences at night with lucid dreaming. You can meet different entities or species if you want. If you are interested I can give you a link. 😀
Seriously ? 💀
Should I listen these noise while I'm working?
Try Yoga Nidra for sleep
thank you Will check out your 40hz we can use brain gym energy medicine
I m biggest fan sir 😭🙏🏻❤
100% agree
try it today
Can Binural Beats damage your brainn in the long term?
Despite being a doctor, even Huberman giggles at ‘brown noise’.
How long does these take to show results
30 minute according to a video on RUclips idk if this is true
They charge for that app now.
Which app is it. Brainwave? Or brainwaves
40hz carrier frequency, or 40hz delta?
delta
@@e.a5612
Thanks. Figured as much. But there was another video where the image they displayed showed 40hz in one ear and 44hz in the other.
Within that topic, have you seen Huberman say anything about carrier frequencies and whether they matter beyond user comfort? Or whether there's science on recommended carrier frequencies?
@@dgd947a15fl 3rd paragraph under Stimuli **
@@e.a5612
Paragraph? If you mean the video transcript, that isn't organized in paragraphs.
Try my original work
Can you please recommend some sources for binaural beats with 15 hz and 40 hz? Because youtube is flooded with them and I'm not sure what to chose. Or should I just use app maybe?
The app would probably be best, because in some cases the audio is generated in the app instead of being pre generated and imported into the app which may cause the audio quality to drop, that's the same problem with RUclips because audio files get compressed a little. So just generate your own using some app. I use 'Relaxing Soundscapes: Binaural' on android.
@@lawsen3719 im using the same app. What bps does dr. Huberman recommend? How much bps do you use? And how do you set the app so that it has different frequencies on each ear?
@IceKingToushiro I used 7 beats per second and 144hz. I haven't used binaurals in a while, so I am not sure of the specifications, but I think the app automatically plays different tones in each ear.
@@lawsen3719 thanks for the fast reply, man. Despite your comment being a year ago. Also, I switched to the app doc huberman recommended in the description. Its the full episode one, not this clipped video. The app can set different frequencies on each ear.
Does this work for people who have almost zero hearing in one ear?
Try isochronic tones. Its same but you can listen with out headphones.
Short summary : Binaural beats = 40 Hz for concentration
Before or during an activity?
@@alexanderwindh4830 whatever u want
What should i keep left wave and right wave
i using brain waves app in ch play.When listening to gamma waves, what is the optimal frequency range for left and right waves in brainwave app?.i don't know setup in my app
@@chirag1698hi, did you figure it out?
I create my own noises with audacity
6:00 - Adderall wants to have a talk with you
I am wondering if an adult can hear 40 Hertz?
40Hz is less than once a second, they definetly can since that is a very low pitch.
Well everyone they have actually started charging since the upload of this
LOL. Listening to it now :D
Cognitive work ?
They changed it to $5 after this episode haha
Which brainwave app is it, there’s a few
Try my new work....
Who is watching on 2024 like here❤
Slow brain wave day
"deep centers of the brain"??? 😂 Are you based on any research?
That's really too long, could be a 2 minute video
Thank you!
