CONSUMER AUDIO

Your music, upgraded with science

VIBE uses patented brain entrainment and music recommendation technology to transform familiar music into a performance tool — helping you focus faster, train harder, recover better, and sleep deeper.

For individuals, streaming platforms, and product companies looking to integrate functional audio.

Your streaming app wasn't built to help you perform

Old school streaming platforms are designed for one thing: keeping you listening. Not helping you focus. Not getting you game-ready. Not winding you down. Their entire business model is built around engagement — which is the opposite of what your brain needs when it's time to lock in.

⚠ SHUFFLE ISN'T A STRATEGY
Shuffle isn't a strategy

Your shuffle serves you a random sad song when trying to get in the zone. Mood broken. The sequence has no logic, no progression, no intent.

⚠ DESIGNED TO DISTRACT
Designed to distract

Every notification is engineered to pull your attention away from what you were doing and toward the app.

⚠ THE PRE-WORKOUT SCROLL
Pre-workout scroll

Instead of getting locked in at the gym, you're trying to find the right song. By the time you find it, your head's in your phone, not the workout.

⚠ PASSIVE LISTENING, ZERO FEEDBACK
Passive listening zero feedback

Streaming has no idea if the music is working for you. It doesn't know if you're more focused, more relaxed, or more anxious than when you pressed play. It can't adapt to your state in real time because it was never designed to.

⚠ ONE MODE FOR EVERYTHING
One mode for everything

Your day has distinct modes — from waking up and getting tasks done, to winding down at the end of the day. Popular streaming has one mode: play music. There's no framework for mapping audio to your intention.

⚠ GREAT MUSIC ≠ FUNCTIONAL MUSIC
Great music not functional music

The songs that make you feel something aren't necessarily the ones that help you perform. A track that gives you chills might spike your arousal when you need calm. Taste and function aren't the same, but streaming treats them as if they are.

Your brain works in waves.
The right music can change them.

Right now, your brain is producing electrical patterns called brainwaves.

When you're stressed, they're fast and chaotic. When you're focused, they slow into a steady rhythm. When you're asleep, they're deep and slow.

Listening to a binaural beat at a specific frequency can encourage your brainwaves to match that frequency, pushing you into a specific brainwave state.

(4 – 8 Hz)

This is your brain when the pressure drops and your body starts to heal. Cortisol falls. Muscles unclench. Your mind drifts from sharp focus into a calm, restorative state.

How does VIBE make this happen?

WHAT YOU HEAR

The same songs you'd listen to on any streaming app — real artists, real music, songs you know and already enjoy.

WHAT'S HAPPENING UNDERNEATH

Layered behind the music, VIBE embeds precisely tuned binaural beats that your conscious mind doesn't notice — but your brain does. These patterns gently guide your brain into the right gear for what you're about to do. It's like invisible coaching for your brain, delivered through songs you'd listen to anyway.

A mode for every moment

Pick a goal. We handle the science.

BOOST
Beta Waves

pre-game · workout · activation

Energizing tracks sequenced with high-beta ABS to increase arousal, sharpen reaction time, build activation energy and enhance performance. Used by D1 athletes 20 minutes before tip-off.

FOCUS
Alpha Waves

deep work · study · flow state

Familiar tracks layered with alpha-range ABS to reduce mind-wandering and accelerate entry into flow state. Alpha waves support calm focus and mental clarity.

DOWNSHIFT
Theta Waves

recovery · stress relief · wind-down

Music sequenced using the iso principle — starting at your current elevated state, then gradually shifting tempo, key, and ABS frequency to guide you into calm. Clinically validated to reduce anxiety by 16%.

SLEEP
Delta Waves

fall asleep · stay asleep · deep rest

Progressive sessions that transition from recognizable calming tracks to deep theta/delta ABS, designed to enhance deep rest without requiring silence or white noise.

Three steps. Real music. Real results.

1

Pick your mode

Boost, Focus, Downshift, or Sleep. Tell VIBE how you're feeling right now.

2

Hear familiar music

Our AI selects from a vast catalog of recognizable tracks and sequences them for your target state — with performance waves layered underneath.

3

Feel the shift

Throughout the session, your brain entrains to the target frequency. Focus sharpens, energy lifts, or your body downshifts.

For Platforms

Integrate functional audio into your product

Everything that powers VIBE — our patented AI, brain entrainment technology, and music intelligence — is available as an embeddable platform for consumer products, streaming services, and audio hardware.

The science behind it

Patented
Auditory Beat Stimulation (ABS)
Binaural beats seamlessly embedded into music users recognize. The brain entrains to the target frequency without hearing anything clinical — just great music with a hidden layer of neuroscience.
AI-Powered
Affective Music Recommendation (AMRS)
A deep reinforcement learning system that predicts which music sequence will move a user from their current mood to their target state. It learns what works for each user over time.
Published
Clinically validated
Published RCT in PLOS One: 24 minutes of music + ABS reduced anxiety by 16% (p=0.04, effect size=0.83). Developed with Dr. Frank Russo (NSERC Chair) and Mila (Quebec AI Institute).

For Colleges & Athletics

Game-ready minds, on the field and off it.

LUCID partners with university athletics and mental-health departments to put VIBE in the hands of student-athletes — the same patented, biometric-guided music platform, tuned for the demands of collegiate sport. Built with NCAA Division I athletes to sharpen performance, speed recovery, and protect wellbeing well beyond competition.

The athlete's full load

Performance doesn't stop at the final whistle.

Student-athletes carry training loads, competition pressure, academics, and the mental weight of it all at once. Sports medicine and mental-performance teams need tools that support the whole athlete — not just the workout.

  • Pre-competition activationGetting locked in before tip-off without scrolling for the right song.
  • Recovery & training-load stressHigh-volume blocks demand real parasympathetic recovery, not just rest.
  • Sleep & off-field wellbeingSleep quality and mood drive everything that happens in season.
A mode for every moment

The athlete's day has modes. So does VIBE.

Each mode pairs familiar music with a precisely tuned auditory-beat layer, guiding the athlete's brain into the right state for what's next — read live from heart rate and HRV on Apple Watch.

Boost
Beta waves
pre-game · workout · activation
Raises arousal, sharpens reaction time, and primes mental readiness before training and competition.
Focus
Alpha waves
film review · study · skill work
Sustained, calm concentration for academics, film sessions, and technical skill development.
Downshift
Theta waves
recovery · stress relief · wind-down
Lowers arousal and supports parasympathetic recovery after hard training — clinically linked to a 16% anxiety reduction.
Sleep
Delta waves
fall asleep · stay asleep · deep rest
Pre-sleep wind-down and overnight layers that support sleep onset, consolidation, and overnight recovery.

Evidence to stand behind. Reporting you can act on.

Evidence

Built on validated, peer-reviewed science

Across trials, LUCID's intervention produced significant reductions in cognitive and somatic anxiety and improvements in affect versus control. This program extends that evidence base into elite student-athlete contexts, where pre-competition activation and training-load stress create comparable demands.
