Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about focus.music.

General

What is focus.music?

focus.music is a cognitive profiling music platform that matches personalised audio experiences to your brain type. It uses OCEAN personality dimensions, brain type classification, and optional neurodiversity indicators to select and sequence music engineered for sustained focus.

How is this different from other focus music apps?

Most focus music services offer generic playlists. focus.music uses a scientifically grounded cognitive profiling system - built on 16 years of longitudinal behavioral data - to match music to your individual brain type. Every playlist is generated in real time using our slot strategy engine, not curated manually.

Is the music AI-generated?

No. Every track in the focus.music library is human-composed - written and produced by professional musicians. We use technology for cognitive profiling and playlist sequencing, never for music creation.

Cognitive Profiling

How does cognitive profiling work?

When you sign up, you complete a short quiz that measures your OCEAN personality dimensions (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism). The results are processed into one of 16 brain type profiles, which determines your optimal energy zones and music preferences.

What are ADHD/ASD indicators?

These are optional sensitivity indicators you can provide during profiling. They help our system fine-tune music selection for neurodiverse listeners - for example, adjusting complexity and intensity levels that work better for ADHD or ASD cognitive patterns.

Can I retake the quiz?

Yes. You can retake the cognitive profiling quiz at any time from the app settings. Your profile will be updated with the new results.
