To think people like Mike and Matty are giving us free and useful knowledge actually better than the way school is giving proves that we need to be like them. Mad respect. M and M army.
I’ve never heard of Binaural beats before. I’ll try listening to those during my next study session. ☺️ Currently, I’m only listening to Lofi and Classical music.
@@tirthrajswain4233 yeah!! I tried it and I guess you also need to lower the volume (of course like in the classical or lo-fi). I can say that I became more focused in reading my lessons. But I cannot say that it will help me in reviewing for the exam since I haven't tried yet
I came across this channel a few days ago and man I'm so glad I did. Your channel combines empirical based evidence with a quirky yet relaxed vibe, I just love it. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Bruh how TF is he so talented. He is a medical student, a video editor, TH-camr, he also makes animations for his channel and holy moly he can also make music like he did in the video. This man is truly a legend 🗿
the mid-roll ad 😂 i like lo-fi mainly for the vibes. the “kinda like matty” made me l-o-l. i liked how you guys did demonstrations on both genres. i haven’t tried binaural only because it kind of intimidated me-it seemed like something you shouldn’t dabble in outside of a clinical setting (like trying to perform EMDR on yourself without a clinician) but after this video maybe i’ll give it a try?
Haha I hope it garners the likes ;) Yea you have a good point, binaural is more invigorating so it’s not something you do constantly or marathon with, it’s like going to the gym you don’t want to overwork your muscles
Binaural itself isn't really all that healing, I definitely wouldn't just prescribe this to a patient who was suffering from severe anxiety and just send them on their way. That's why just seeing it as a sort of meditation music always made the most sense to me, after all, meditation is something you could do at any time of the day as long as you're in the mood for it.
00:01 Music helps me get through long study days. 00:50 Lofi music is effective for studying 02:09 Ideal focus music is simple and consistent. 03:08 Listening to lo-fi music can have a positive effect on mood and cognition. 04:05 Binaural beats influence brain waves using sound 05:06 Binaural beats synchronize brain activity 06:04 Binaural beats can enhance learning and cognition 07:27 Both lo-fi and binaural beats can be beneficial for studying.
no u shouldnt do this as this will affect the quality of the binural beats which can mess it up but this is what i have heard from but if u do listen u don't need to turn the volume all the way up for binural beats since it can impact your hearing
i have tried this. i need the binaural to keep me focused, and i need the lofi beats to keep me from sleeping lol. worked for me pretty well, but i think it's not sustainable in the long run. i prefer binaural, though.
Binaural beats make me uncomfortable too, I think it’s because I usually listen to it when I’m cramming really last minute for assignments or exams and hence connect that kinda music to stress
IMO both are really uncomfy for me and I get a huge headache. Classical/sounds of people talking (normally, none of that whispering nonsense) helps me focus, weirdly.
@@Anna-hb2se Same. The repetitiveness of LoFi ends up distracting me because I just get bored and annoyed, and binaural beats just feel icky. So I've found out that weirdly the type of music that gets me focusing the best is urban pop in a different language that is still familiar because I've listened to the artists alot. Right now this tends to be Italian Hiphop/RnB/Pop/Rock, and earlier I've had phases with Sámi Electropop, French Pop, and Portuguese Modern Fado-style songs.
I listen to binaural beats pretty often, and I think I can say that it's probably some of the background frequencies in the song itself that are throwing you off. There's definitely been plenty of times where I decided to just switch to an instrumental or an 8-hour rain video because the sounds would just mess with my brain sometimes when I'm trying to focus. Even so, I do still usually prefer binaural beats when I'm trying to relax and focus on something.
I have just found your channel yesterday, and today! I am like "why didn't find it earlier". You both are far better than my class teachers. Mike and Matty, you two are giving us useful techniques to grow in life 🧬. Huge respect and love from me to you both♥️. Keep making more videos, it really really help us in our life. Thank you so much 😃
Aw, thank you. You truly made my day, rookie. I am so glad to have you here. Why not spread the word to your friends and we can all hang here in Koi HQ. 😍😎
Just after he finished talking about midroll ads, the next moment i got a midroll ad. But i watched the whole ad because these guys make nice content and they deserve it.
Thank you for making this video! I personally love lo-fi and it's actually my first time hearing about Binaural Beats. Thanks for sharing the Spotify playlist as well! I was mindblown with the first song Give a Man a Rod. If mixed(lo-fi & BB), I think it'll feel more like Umbreon. Keep it up, guys!
I use lofi whenever I draw and then binaural beats when I study. Lofi helps me become more productive. Binaural beats helps me focus more and relieve the stress whenever I cram lmao. It's really effective tho cause it helps you lower your levels of cortisol, the hormone that contributes to stress and anxiety.
When I was a teacher and needed to smash out lesson plans under tight deadlines, I would use Binaural Beats. When I made the change to Tech, I started listening to LoFi. I definitely think both have their place but if I need intense focus, I'd use Binaural Beats and for general productivity it's LoFi.
when i was in high school many classmates were listening to music while studying, but for me, I can't focus while listening my fav songs since they are mostly very moody. Till now I'm a postgraduate, and I found lofi which is so refreshing to me as I'm a hiphop lover. I never expect lofi hiphop could be so calming since the first time I used it as a BGM for studying was when I getting stuck with tons of slides, presentations and reports to do and I was nearly pissed off.... but it suddenly calmed down my mood! It's so surprising that it has a "psychologic" effect on me lol... It kinda enhances my patience especially with boring and repeated works, while helping me to concentrate.
Since beeing in medschool I need lofi to focus, or at least some white noise, like Rain or a fireplace. I can study without and I did for all my school time, but I get out of the zone so easily without white noise. Good to know that my lofi addiction is backed up by science and not just meaning I cannot be alone ever since I moved out (moved out this spring and it really hit my mentally to be in a completly new city hours away from family/friend without the possibilty to get to know new people)
I didnt know about binaural beats before .. and ive said you before that i have a lot of dreams per night.. thanks to you.. ive tried it out and just the first night i had a great sleep ...without any dreams ..deep sleep .. thanks a lot..!!!!
I tried listening to Binaural Beats and it gave me these tingling sensations which is interesting… I’ve been binge watching you guys before I start gradschool, hope I can apply your tips and advices! And Remnotes! Wish me luck 🍀
I recently started listening to lofi music on youtube BUT I thought it was just the name of the channel lol. I have come across Binaural beats but used it for meditation and sleep.
I never tried such thing but lately in life feels like I do need something to help me focus, this provides enough back-end research to try it, let's see, thanks for always having awesome uploads
I think it depends on the purpose - for chill reading or reviewing notes (see what I did there?) this is great for keeping me on track and vibing to a good mood. For stuff that I struggle with, don't like to do, or otherwise just really need to hyperfocus in on, binaural works better. So for me, it's task-specific, but again this is all individualized and conclusions are achieved through a process of trial and error. So... try it. See if it works for you, and come to your own conclusions.
this was the first time I heard binaural beats and it was sooo calming omg. I always use lofi and I think ill use that for long studying and ill use binaural when I'm stressed out lol
idk why i feel like i study/work at home best when i have random videos playing in the background with people talking (at a pretty low volume). Just having people talking in the back make it feel a little less lonely and makes me feel like im at school. whereas i prefer lofi music at school as it kinda reduces the distractions
LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! I’m a sucker for lofi but enjoy binaural as well so it was really cool learning more of the science behind why they work so well. I like how you mentioned that lofi blends into the background and is more repetitive. I’ll always go with lofi over classical music when studying for that reason. Classical music is commonly recommended for focusing but I find it crazy distracting 😅
These guy are very productive, after they work they make video's for us so we can achieve our goals, I had a big problem of paying attention to stuff but when I got remnote I can focus a lot more

That mid-roll ad is why I started using ad blockers. Got fed up with the timing. Trying to watch a short fiction and, seconds just before or just after the climax, there's an ad. I actually kept track for a while. It was neither so many minutes or so much percentage. It was almost always around the climax. That's not an algorithm. Imagine going to the theater: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!" "No. *I* - " "Lets go out to the lobby! Let's get popcorn and candy! Sodas are so tasty! So go out there and buy!" I don't mind ads before or after, and I don't mind the banner ad most of the time, but the repeated interruption at a crucial point means ad blockers. It never seems to occur at a quiet point, it's almost always at the most exciting part. While incompetent marketers would think that is the best place because the ad gets the most attention, it had the effect of ensuring I don't see any ads at all and screws everyone. I have clicked on and purchased based on a TH-cam ad. Because of greed, TH-cam now gets nothing.
Interesting video. I actually listen to lofi, binaural and I gravitate towards movie scores/classical music especially the ones from Studio Ghibli. But I use binaural beats for headaches and they are effective to some extent. Best when listening through noise-cancelling headphones.
Hey Mika and Matty! I love watching ur videos and reading your newsletters. There's so much valuable knowledge and advice and it is helping me get through my medical school. You both do fantastic work! Thanks! 🙂However I have a request (off topic maybe😅) Could you make video on how to make lofi music/mix music? I understood that you make your own lofi music. I know there's so many other youtube videos on this topic. But it would be really helpful if you guys made video on it.
The thing is, when I’m doing calculus or something similar that uses less brain activity; I prefer lyrics. It keeps me awake and makes it actually fun. It’s true that sometimes I get sidetracked singing them but I’m extremely stubborn with it 😅 I’ve tried LoFi before, it wasn’t too bad. I’ll give binaural beats a trial
Awesome topic that I haven't really thought about! Can you do a video on what the research says is more effective, group or solo-studying (or for which situations one works better than the other)?
That’s a really good idea. I’ve wanted to try more group studying but I never learned how to do it properly let alone the right situations where group studying would be more effective. I’m guessing language learning or math would be best.
I think you guys should create two different playlists for each type of the music you mentioned in this video. A playlist for binaural beats, and one for lofi music. I would really appreciate it. Thank you, and this one was a great informative video. I enjoyed it, and actually learned something. One point to improve your video quality: learn color grading and color correcting. Many of your videos are washed out. Other than that, it's mainly good. Just apply a few small changes, and voila. Have a great day.
What an awesome and interesting video! Lofi has become my go to for studying sessions, though i also love to listen to (slow) jazz or classical music while learning or working. If you havent already, maybe you guys could cover these genres in a video like this as well? :D
I don't really know if this is right but music that has lyrics is good. Definitely that kind if music isn't good at first in learning, but having to use the concept of visualization in music, it's quite a good combo. For example, there are terms you want to learn. Have a music you like played (does not matter if it has lyrics or not). And then use the concept of visualizing of all the words that you can imagine. Hope you could try this.😁
Thank you so much for the amazing videos, you guys wouldn’t know how much you are helping us out
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Love your channel and content, I am new here and so happy that there are alot of videos. I will take my time to enjoy all of them and your channel will go places if you continue with this outstanding quality...
I have listened to both lofi and binaural beats (but idk the name "binaural" beats tho) both are great but lofi is more closer to me coz sometimes binaural beats can be quite like a prayer to me lol XD but it sure helps with reducing pain 😌✨
I really want to know about the effect of classical music on the brain as well. I'm gonna search for it. By the way, what a great video (not just the content, but the way you presented it.) Ly
Personally, I use Lo-fi for mundane and boring chores that requires minimal focus. Or when I'm feeling down/depressed/anxious. But lofi doesn't work for me when it comes to studying, especially the knowledge retainment part of studying. Doing maths is fine, but reading fine text and retaining critical information is not optimal with lofi (for me). I discovered Binural Beats before an important exam, and it played (heh) a big part in helping me achieve good grades.
I love listening to both lofi and binaural beats but sometimes I blast metal music 😅 Metallica's Orion would be perfect as a starter, I love how it makes you feel like you're in space, the guitars are also perfect 😗
If anyone is also on the fence, Overwerk is so close to binaural due to the sound design, the non vocal songs put my adhd on a leash and make it pull my sled straight through my tasks
Binaural beats are too relaxing for me bc it reminds me of ASMR since I do use ASMR to sleep. I find myself productive with lofi. I was introduced to this by a friend a few years ago and it's my go to study listening method.
Binaural beats make feel nauseated rather than concentrated. Lo-Fi is great too, but I kind of lose focus over time and space out. I like white noise the most, it helps me concentrate and brings my mind into this 'zone', like you can't feel time cuz of how focused you are.
One of the funniest things to come out of Stargate Universe is the heroes going to planet that is undergoing a disaster. The inhabitants had prepared shelters but eventually use the gate to leave. The heroes find a shelter and decide to check it out to see if there is anything left to salvage. They have to use an elevator and it plays pretty much the same music played in elevators on Earth. Apparently elevator music is another universal constant.
Everytime when im studying I always listen to music with lyrics that's why I multi task sometimes I got headache LoL instead I focus to what i've read i'm just singing and go with the beats of music. 😅😊 Thank for this video.

I hadn't either. Learnt something new from this video.
how is it?
@@gabgonzales9638 Once you listen to it, you will get into flow state much easily and never turn back to lofi
@@tirthrajswain4233 yeah!! I tried it and I guess you also need to lower the volume (of course like in the classical or lo-fi). I can say that I became more focused in reading my lessons. But I cannot say that it will help me in reviewing for the exam since I haven't tried yet
If you gone listen to classical to study, you should also dig a little dipper since youre already there.
Honestly, I think both are good to listen to for studying! I just can't study if I'm listening to something with lyrics haha
Yea lyrics forces you to multitask
Can we just appreciate him creating a really good song in like five minutes?! I‘d definitely listen to it while studying
I came across this channel a few days ago and man I'm so glad I did. Your channel combines empirical based evidence with a quirky yet relaxed vibe, I just love it. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Hey man that means a lot, welcome to the family
I've always prefered Lofi rather than Binaural.
For relaxation Lofi beats are great (i always start feeling sleepy) but for studies, Binaural beats all the way.
Thanks for saving me 8 minutes
Ngl sometimes when I hear a good lofi song I crack up the volume to 100 and start nodding my heaf so hard my neck starts to hurt 😂😂

Haha I hope it garners the likes ;) Yea you have a good point, binaural is more invigorating so it’s not something you do constantly or marathon with, it’s like going to the gym you don’t want to overwork your muscles
@@KoiAcademy so we shouldnt listen to binaural beats too often?
@@emy8555 it's still just music 👌

experimenting with that now..maybe in a future video ;)

I’ve tried LoFi before, it wasn’t too bad. I’ll give binaural beats a trial
Yo, TH-cam algorithm has finally recommended something I'd look at, nice vid!
Awesome topic that I haven't really thought about! Can you do a video on what the research says is more effective, group or solo-studying (or for which situations one works better than the other)?
Oh what a good idea thanks 🙏
That’s a really good idea. I’ve wanted to try more group studying but I never learned how to do it properly let alone the right situations where group studying would be more effective. I’m guessing language learning or math would be best.
I came across your channel like this morning and I’ve been watching all your videos man I love it so much keep it up
wow best video everr on LOFI GOOD WORK !!!!!!
Who also got an ad right when he said they can disrupt an individual's train of thought, my mind has generally been bamboozled
thank you so much studying is way better now and i never thought it could be😭❤️
Thank you for the information, really helps
Glad you found it helpful!
The friendly rivalry between them is awesome 😂😂
I think you guys should create two different playlists for each type of the music you mentioned in this video. A playlist for binaural beats, and one for lofi music. I would really appreciate it. Thank you, and this one was a great informative video. I enjoyed it, and actually learned something. One point to improve your video quality: learn color grading and color correcting. Many of your videos are washed out. Other than that, it's mainly good. Just apply a few small changes, and voila. Have a great day.
What an awesome and interesting video! Lofi has become my go to for studying sessions, though i also love to listen to (slow) jazz or classical music while learning or working.
If you havent already, maybe you guys could cover these genres in a video like this as well? :D
I graduated college already so I’m done studying for now, but I still listen to Lofi while I do crypto trades or clean around the house.
never gets old
Y’all are awesome love your channel 😭 Best playlists???
I don't really know if this is right but music that has lyrics is good. Definitely that kind if music isn't good at first in learning, but having to use the concept of visualization in music, it's quite a good combo.
For example, there are terms you want to learn. Have a music you like played (does not matter if it has lyrics or not). And then use the concept of visualizing of all the words that you can imagine.
Hope you could try this.😁
when i looked at your room i didn't expect to see a tame impala, poster nice taste in music
😎😎
i do lofi and put rain on behind it and sometimes i do binaural beats with rain, but both help me a lot
These videos are so good..thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing videos, you guys wouldn’t know how much you are helping us out
Love your channel and content, I am new here and so happy that there are alot of videos. I will take my time to enjoy all of them and your channel will go places if you continue with this outstanding quality...
I have listened to both lofi and binaural beats (but idk the name "binaural" beats tho) both are great but lofi is more closer to me coz sometimes binaural beats can be quite like a prayer to me lol XD but it sure helps with reducing pain 😌✨
Great video! As always. :)
Can't believe I'm saying this but right as the mid roll ad analogy was about to end, a mid roll ad popped into the video
I really want to know about the effect of classical music on the brain as well. I'm gonna search for it. By the way, what a great video (not just the content, but the way you presented it.) Ly
Personally, I use Lo-fi for mundane and boring chores that requires minimal focus. Or when I'm feeling down/depressed/anxious. But lofi doesn't work for me when it comes to studying, especially the knowledge retainment part of studying. Doing maths is fine, but reading fine text and retaining critical information is not optimal with lofi (for me). I discovered Binural Beats before an important exam, and it played (heh) a big part in helping me achieve good grades.
You guys are amazing! I’ve learned so much about studying from you! Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️
Happy to help :)
Watching this instead of studying
So just listen to both at the same time.
“Modern problems require modern solutions” - some guy on the internet or irl.
I love listening to both lofi and binaural beats but sometimes I blast metal music 😅 Metallica's Orion would be perfect as a starter, I love how it makes you feel like you're in space, the guitars are also perfect 😗
I finally subbed after Matty's "you're dead to me". 😂 Law student from Syd Aus here thanking you bros for the tips and lil jokes. 🙏
Okkk Im astonished, I was listenning the video half asleep and as soon a they put the binaural beats I felt awake as if it was daylight wow..
We cheer for you abundantly magnificent wonderful mike matty
If anyone is also on the fence, Overwerk is so close to binaural due to the sound design, the non vocal songs put my adhd on a leash and make it pull my sled straight through my tasks
Binaural beats are too relaxing for me bc it reminds me of ASMR since I do use ASMR to sleep. I find myself productive with lofi. I was introduced to this by a friend a few years ago and it's my go to study listening method.
Binaural beats make feel nauseated rather than concentrated. Lo-Fi is great too, but I kind of lose focus over time and space out. I like white noise the most, it helps me concentrate and brings my mind into this 'zone', like you can't feel time cuz of how focused you are.
didnt expect to learn from this! I will def try the binaural beats
One of the funniest things to come out of Stargate Universe is the heroes going to planet that is undergoing a disaster. The inhabitants had prepared shelters but eventually use the gate to leave. The heroes find a shelter and decide to check it out to see if there is anything left to salvage. They have to use an elevator and it plays pretty much the same music played in elevators on Earth. Apparently elevator music is another universal constant.
I like the Zelda references! I also like the video, it was really informative. I'm gonna try those musics
Everytime when im studying I always listen to music with lyrics that's why I multi task sometimes I got headache LoL instead I focus to what i've read i'm just singing and go with the beats of music. 😅😊 Thank for this video.
Thank u for the video
My pleasure
