Neusic is a mobile-first AI study companion that combines auditory entrainment and Claude AI to personalize music sessions to each student's stress level, subject, and available study time — making neuroscience-backed mental wellness accessible to every African university student with a phone. Neusic Where neuroscience meets music to help students focus and heal. --- ## What Neusic is Neusic is a mobile-first AI study companion that combines **auditory entrainment** and **Claude AI** to personalize music sessions to each student's stress level, subject, and available study time — making neuroscience-backed mental wellness accessible to every African university student with a phone. You tell Neusic where you are. Claude designs the right session for that moment. Music plays in the browser. Engineered binaural beats run underneath. The session adapts in real time as you tell Neusic how you're feeling. At the end, you get a focus score and an insight you can act on. > **We don't just play music. We engineer your mental state.** --- ## Why this exists Most students don't need more time — they need the **right mental state**. But the tools that exist are either expensive, generic, or built for meditation rather than studying. Meanwhile, the science is well established: - The brain naturally synchronizes its neural oscillations to rhythmic auditory stimuli (auditory entrainment). - Music therapy reduces cortisol levels significantly in university students (*NCBI, 2025*). - Externally-timed breaks outperform self-regulated breaks (*MDPI, 2025*). Neusic puts that science into a phone, for free, with no app install. --- ## The three science pillars ### 1. Auditory entrainment Different frequency targets serve different mental states. Neusic generates these tones in-browser using two oscillators panned hard left and right; the brain perceives the difference between the channels as the entrainment beat (binaural beats). | Mental state | Frequency band | Default Hz | Best for | | --------------- | -------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------- | | Deep focus | Beta 12-20 Hz | 16 Hz | Mathematics, coding, technical reading | | Light focus | Alpha 8-12 Hz | 10 Hz | Essays, mem …
