The project attempted to replicate the 2023 study “Learning at your brain’s rhythm: individualized entrainment boosts learning for perceptual decisions”. It claimed that if you read a person’s brain waves, figured out an individual peak alpha frequency, and flashed a bright white light at that frequency, then they learned a certain perceptual task faster. Why bother? The result hinted that learning…
