Stimulus, response, outcome
Keep three layers distinct: the external rhythmic stimulus, a measurable neural response, and a practical outcome such as improved attention. Evidence for one layer does not automatically establish the next.
Auditory approaches
Auditory stimulation can include binaural beats, monaural beats, rhythmic tones, amplitude modulation, and other patterned sound. Protocol differences matter.
Commercial claims
Look for evidence matching the exact product, exposure protocol, audience, and claimed outcome. General neuroscience references are background, not product validation.
