Brain Wave - Sharp Mind ™

* このアップデートにはいくつかの新しい設定が含まれます *

- 波形振幅ブースト（2つのオプション）- バイノーラルキャリア波の振幅を固定量増加させて、音量をさらに上げるオプション。このオプションはオン/オフトグル設定として提供されます。

- 他のアプリのボリュームを減らす - このアプリが再生中に他のアプリのボリュームを50％減らすようiOSに指示するオーディオダッキングを有効にするオプション。iOSはボリューム削減のカスタマイズを許可していません。

- キャリア信号（2つのオプション）- デフォルトの低周波バイノーラルキャリア波と約250Hzの中間キャリア波との間で切り替えるオプション。これはバイノーラルトーンの周波数を変更しません。例：低周波キャリアで1Hzの音調は左で121Hz、右で120Hzを使用しますが、中間キャリアでは左で221Hz、右で220Hzを使用します。

- Apple Healthアプリにリラクゼーションと瞑想プログラムのリスニング時間を「瞑想の分」（Mindful Minutes）としてエクスポートするオプション。

Thanks for making Sharp Mind the Top-Ranked Binaural Brainwave app for Focus, Learning and Problem Solving * This update improves the iTunes integration and background mode usability.
* Use in English or Japanese. To switch languages tap the globe button in the bottom right corner to bring up the language selector. Then select the language of choice. Then restart the app:
1) Double-tap the device home button to bring up the list of current apps (or swipe up-then right on X series).
2) Swipe up on this app to shut it down
3) Start the app again.
* Headphones/Earbuds must be worn for Binaural Tones to be Effective.
* This update improves background mode usability.
* To combine Brainwaves and Audio from Another App use the "Other App" or "Ambience + Other" option for the Background Mode in Background Settings.
* Added the ability to play and pause audio using Remote Controls *only* when using Brainwaves with the "Ambience Only" background mode. In modes that allow other audio apps or iTunes Music to be playing these controls will only affect iTunes or the other app. This is because in modes where our app allows other audio to play that other app becomes the "Now Playing" app--and there can be only one "Now Playing" app on iOS.
* If the audio stops when the app is backgrounded or the screen locks please restart the device with a full shutdown as this is the result of low RAM memory which causes iOS to suspend background audio.

* How it Works *

During the entrainment process, two different carrier tones are played into the left and right ears. The frequency difference between these tones matches the brainwave frequency of the target state of mind. The listener will hear these carrier tones as an audible tone, however, when processing these two different tones the human brain will perceive the small frequency difference between the tones as an inaudible periodic beat. When exposed to this beat the listener's brainwaves will begin to synchronize with the beat frequency. What allows the human brain to perceive this beat is our directional hearing system, located in the brain stem. The brain's directional hearing system calculates frequency shifts between sound entering the left and right ear to quickly locate the direction of a sound, but when that difference is rhythmic, as with binaural tones, the brain synchronizes with the pattern. This process is more effective in the presence of background noise or ambient sounds, which allows humans to hear and locate even subtle sounds, like an animal moving nearby in a forest that is filled with noise. It is also what allows humans to perceive the beat frequency produced by tuning forks.

* Brainwave Frequencies *
Different states of mind will display a dominant frequency, but all brainwaves are present in a mix at all times.

Gamma waves (30-44 Hz):
Associated with high-level information processing, multi-tasking, excitement, and high energy.

High-Beta waves (18-29 Hz):
Associated with mental activities such as math, planning, and design.

Mid-Beta waves (15-17 Hz):
Increased problem-solving ability, focus, and alertness.

Low-Beta waves (12-14 Hz):
Relaxed, yet still mentally sharp

High-Alpha waves (10-11 Hz):
Relaxed, centered, tranquil

Low-Alpha waves (8-9 Hz):
Relaxed, almost meditative but still aware

Theta waves (4-7 Hz):
Associated with deep meditation, creativity, intuition, and dream-like states. Theta waves also occur during REM sleep and the early stages of deep, slow-wave sleep.

Delta waves (.5-3 Hz):
Deep, slow-wave sleep. Slow-wave sleep allows the brain to recover from daily activities.

As an example, the human ear can't directly perceive the .5 - 2 Hz Delta-wave frequencies associated with deep sleep because it is well below the human hearing range, but if you wear headphones or earbuds with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 136 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 1 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat, in this case matching a low delta wave frequency associated with sleep. As you listen, your own brainwaves will begin to match that frequency. The process is the same for other states of mind and their associated brainwave frequencies.

Includes a fix for the Gamma Creativity Boost program.

Minor update

Improved iTunes music playback performance during brainwave programs.

The main focus of this update is the Landscape UI for iPad * Note: Headphones/Earbuds are Required for Binaural Tones to be Effective as the Left Ear and Right Ear Audio must be isolated for the Brain to perceive the inaudible low-frequency difference between the two sides.

* Headphones/Earbuds are Required for Binaural Tones to be Effective as the Left Ear and Right Ear Audio must be isolated for the Brain to perceive the inaudible low-frequency difference between the two sides. ** Changes to Orientation Support: With the upcoming arrival of several new devices with new screen-sizes and aspect ratios, iOS 8 required a re-write of our iPhone and iPad UI to support these devices, and as part of that, we have returned the app to a Portrait-only view for now. Once we know what these future screen dimensions and Aspect Ratios are, and have time to work with the real devices, we can implement a new Landscape UI for the iPad.
* New Features: Three New Atmospheric Music backgrounds, One new Natural Beach Surf Background, 4 new Gentle Alarm Sounds. A new Shuffle/Repeat feature for iTunes Music Backgrounds and updated, larger Retina buttons.

Updated for iOS 7 * Thanks for making Brain Wave Sharp Mind a Top Seller for 4 years! This update include a ton of new features, including the ability to use your iTunes Music as the background and Alarm Audio, support for running another audio app simultaneously, such as a web or ebook reader, and UI updates for iOS 7.

- Updated UI for iOS 7

- Added the ability to create a playlist of your own iTunes library music and use it as the background. The behavior of the app when iTunes music is used instead of the included ambience is slightly different so please review the help. Notably, unlike our included ambience which can be played at a volume below the device volume, iTunes music can only be played at the device volume. So when playing iTunes music the Ambience volume slider disappears.

- Added the ability to toggle whether the Stop and Pause buttons should fade down the audio or stop it immediately.

- Enabled the use of your own iTunes Music for the Alarm Audio.

- Added a new Save Preferences feature that allows you to Save, Load, or Restore to Default, the preferences for each program. This saves duration, alarm, background preferences, and even a separate playlist for each program.

- Added a toggle to the Custom Duration Menu that allows you to set the custom duration by duration or time.

- Improved Fade-Down/Fade-Up between stages.

- Users with Hypnosis, Meditation and Affirmation audio in their iTunes library have asked in the past that they be able to combine that audio with our Binaural Tones and Ambience, so we've enabled that as well. Be sure to review the help to understand all the ways the app can be combined with other audio.

Thanks,
Team Banzai
