Scientists at MIT have studied the effects of light and sound frequencies on Alzheimer's, and have discovered that lights flashing, or sound playing at a frequency of 40hz, or 40 times per second, induce gamma brain waves. These gamma brain waves lead to a clearing of beta amyloid plaques in the brain, a key abnormality in Alzheimer's disease.
This music is designed to have a clear enough 40hz signal, which is almost inaudible at normal volume levels, to induce gamma brainwaves. The music itself is designed to be soothing and gentle, and is in harmony with the 40hz frequency. The overall effect means the listener can relax, undistracted by the noise, and drift off, meditate, or just sleep and let the gamma waves do their work.
We don't know, in all honesty. The research looks good, but we're not scientists. However, we hope it does, and if it doesn't, we're at least confident that it does no harm. Can sound frequencies really reduce Alzheimer's? It does sound implausible, and we're not suggesting that this piece of music has been tested in any way - we're just following the science as best we can. We're giving the music away free - if you think it might help, please feel free to download it.
