40hz "Focus & Change your Mood" with Dr. Andrew Huberman
By Virtusan
Summary
## Key takeaways - **40Hz sound boosts focus and mood**: 40 hertz frequency sound, also sometimes referred to as gamma, has been shown in experiments on humans to improve neuromodulation, such that focus, cognitive function, memory and mood can all be significantly enhanced by listening to 40 hertz sound. [00:16], [00:40] - **Faster proficiency in learning tasks**: When people listen to 40 hertz frequency sound while learning cognitive information or while doing a motor task, there is a reduced amount of time for them to gain proficiency in learning that information or that motor task. [00:16], [00:44] - **Best results from repeated sessions**: The most significant results are observed over time, that is when people listen to 40 hertz frequency sound repeatedly across many learning sessions. [00:44], [00:52] - **Improves sleep that night**: Research has also demonstrated a correlation between listening to 40 hertz sound and improvements in sleep later that night. [00:52], [00:58] - **Sleep links to better learning**: Some of the improved proficiency in cognitive function and motor skills in people that listen to 40 hertz tasks while they learned that cognitive material or motor skills may therefore be related indirectly to the improvements in sleep later that night caused by listening to 40 hertz sound.

I'm Andrew Huberman, professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology and the host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
40 hertz frequency sound, also sometimes referred to as gamma, has been shown in experiments on humans to improve neuromodulation, such that focus, cognitive function, memory and mood can all be significantly enhanced by listening to 40 hertz sound. When people listen to 40 hertz frequency sound while learning cognitive information or while doing a motor task, there is a reduced amount of time for them to gain proficiency
in learning that information or that motor task.
The most significant results are observed over time, that is when people listen to 40 hertz frequency sound repeatedly across many learning sessions.
Research has also demonstrated a correlation between listening to 40 hertz sound and improvements in sleep later that night.
Some of the improved proficiency in cognitive function and motor skills in people that listen to 40 hertz tasks while they learned that cognitive material or motor skills may therefore be related indirectly to the improvements in sleep later that night caused by listening to 40 hertz sound, whether by direct or by indirect effects, listening to 40 hertz sound can improve learning of cognitive material and can improve motor learning.
