The Neuroscience Vow.

1. We cite the research behind every figure.

   Each number and finding on this site links to its published source, so you can read the study yourself. Before we change a claim, we check it against that source. See the science.

2. We say how big, and how certain.

   A study of 24 people is a hint, not a rule, and we call it that. When a result is small, mixed or not statistically significant, we report it that way instead of leaving it out.

3. We separate the research from Luminoise.

   Most studies test music therapy or structured listening, not any single app. We do not present their results as results for Luminoise. Luminoise has not been tested in its own clinical trials yet.

4. We do not treat, diagnose or cure.

   Luminoise is not a medical device or a treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD or any other condition, and it does not replace care from a doctor or mental health professional. If something is affecting your daily life, talk to one.

5. We do not sell magic frequencies.

   Evidence on binaural beats and similar claims is still mixed. We will not promise that a frequency will change your brainwaves.

6. We credit research without borrowing authority.

   We name institutions such as Harvard, MIT, the NIH and the World Health Organization because their published work informs ours. Naming them is citation. None of them endorses or is affiliated with Luminoise.

7. We correct our mistakes in public.

   If a claim on this site is wrong, outdated or stronger than its source supports, we will fix it and update the date on this page. Spot something? Write to science@luminoise.app.

What “neuroscience-informed” means here.

It means our sound design and curation draw on published research about music, attention, mood and stress. It does not mean the product is clinically proven, and we do not use the phrase to imply that.
