Sound therapy with sources cited — even when the evidence is thin.
A multi-track audio engine for clinical sessions. Binaural beats, isochronic tones, pure tones, pink and white noise, and custom uploads — each one labeled with its study status and citations, so you know exactly what you’re offering a client.
What’s inside
Binaural beats
Left ear hears the carrier; right ear hears the carrier plus the beat frequency. Theta (6 Hz), alpha (10 Hz), delta (2 Hz), or fully custom — pick the brainwave-state target or build your own.
Isochronic tones
Single-tone pulses gated at the beat frequency. Easier to perceive than binaural beats and useful for clients without headphones.
Pure tones (solfeggio)
Single-frequency continuous tones — the solfeggio set (396, 417, 528, 639, 741, 852, 963 Hz) plus 432 and 440 Hz tuning tones, each adjustable ±15% around its base pitch. Use as a steady acoustic anchor.
Pink + white noise
Generated in-browser, not sampled — no audio asset to download, no loop seam. Masking for distractible environments or for ambient stillness between phases.
Custom uploads
Bring your own audio. Same per-track L/R pan that can follow the ball, same volume and playback-rate controls as every other track.
Per-track stereo pan
Each track has its own StereoPannerNode. Lock to center, pin left/right, or follow the ball position in time with the visual stimulus.
The wellness-audio market sells confidence. Clinicians need calibration.
Most binaural-beat and solfeggio products make sweeping promises about anxiety, focus, sleep, even chronic conditions. The peer- reviewed literature behind those claims is, in many cases, thin or absent. Psy180 doesn’t sell you on the sound — it labels each track with its study status (early evidence, mixed, well- supported), the relevant citations, and a one-line summary you can read to a client. The labeling is built into the data layer, not bolted on as marketing.
Common questions
Do binaural beats actually work?Read more ↓Close ↑
The evidence is mixed. Some controlled studies show small, transient effects on subjective mood and focus; others find no reliable brainwave entrainment. Psy180 labels every track with its study status and links to the citations — including when the evidence is thin — so clinicians can decide what to use and what to disclose.
Can I play sounds and the bilateral ball at the same time?Read more ↓Close ↑
Yes. Each soundboard track has its own stereo panner and can be set to follow the ball — so a binaural beat or a noise bed pans in time with the visual stimulus. Or you can lock the pan center and run the soundboard purely as ambient.
Does this need headphones?Read more ↓Close ↑
Binaural beats genuinely require headphones to work — the L/R frequency difference must reach each ear separately. Isochronic tones, pure tones, and noise tracks work on speakers; the ball-following stereo pan still benefits from headphones but is audible without.
Can clients upload their own sounds?Read more ↓Close ↑
Therapists can upload audio files (Pro tier). Clients connect to the session and hear whatever the therapist is playing — they don’t need their own account to participate.
Are the evidence labels yours or someone else’s?Read more ↓Close ↑
Psy180 curates them by reading the published literature for each track type. Where a credentialed body has issued guidance, we cite it. Where the evidence is preliminary or contested, we say so — that honest posture is the whole point of the labeling system.
