Just finished a 30-day trial with two different BCI training methods and the results shocked me

Honestly, I was trying to improve my focus for work and decided to test two common BCI training setups. For two weeks I used a basic visual feedback game on my laptop, where I had to keep a ball in the air with my concentration. It was okay, but my accuracy stayed around 65%. Then I switched to a method my friend in Austin suggested, using a simple audio feedback loop with binaural beats. Ngl, the difference was night and day. After just two weeks with the audio method, my session accuracy jumped to 82% and I could hold focus for a full 25-minute Pomodoro block without my mind drifting. The audio cue felt way more natural and less distracting than staring at a screen. It made me think the sensory channel you use for feedback is a huge deal. Has anyone else found one type of feedback works way better for them than another?

What about using haptic feedback instead?

Haptic feedback is a solid idea. I tried a wristband that gave a small buzz when my focus dipped. It was less annoying than sound if you're in a noisy place. Just another option to test.
