#4 - Does Lofi Actually Help You Focus?

n this episode, we dive into a fascinating study from the Open Journal of Medical Psychology that asks a simple but important question: can lo-fi music actually help us focus? While classical music and binaural beats have long been linked to concentration, this research tested lo-fi head-to-head with classical and silence, measuring student test performance as a proxy for focus. The results? Lo-fi improved scores significantly compared to silence, landing just a few points shy of classical music. We’ll unpack what that means, why lo-fi works, and how its steady beats and calming textures could be the modern soundtrack for concentration. Check out the research paper here!
