Brainwave Audio Guide publishes educational explanations, practical listening guides and reviews of commercial audio programs.
This policy sets out the standards we aim to follow when preparing, checking and updating that content.
Our Purpose
Our goal is to help readers understand brainwave audio and make informed listening and purchasing decisions.
We explain unfamiliar terminology, examine the evidence behind claims and discuss practical considerations such as playback requirements, comfort, access and purchase terms.
We do not promise that a particular recording will improve memory, increase intelligence or produce a specific health outcome.
Authorship and Editorial Identity
Alex Morgan is an editorial pen name used on Brainwave Audio Guide. It does not represent medical qualifications, neuroscience credentials or clinical experience.
We do not invent author qualifications, expert endorsements, customer experiences or product-testing histories.
Content should be assessed through the quality of its explanations, supporting sources and acknowledgement of uncertainty. Our About page provides more information about the website.
Research and Sources
When an article discusses scientific findings, we aim to consult the original research where available and relevant.
We consider what a study examined, how it was conducted, what outcomes were measured and what limitations affect its interpretation. A single finding should not be presented as proof of a broad or guaranteed benefit.
We distinguish between:
- Research on a general audio technique and research on a specific commercial recording.
- Changes measured during an experiment and improvements in everyday functioning.
- Preliminary findings and conclusions supported by a wider body of evidence.
- Proposed mechanisms and demonstrated outcomes.
Where evidence is mixed, limited or unavailable, our content should make that clear.
Product Claims and Seller Information
Seller pages can establish what a company advertises, what it says a package includes and which purchase terms it publishes. They do not independently establish that its effectiveness claims are correct.
When discussing a claim made by a seller, we aim to attribute it clearly rather than present it as an established fact.
References to brainwaves, gamma activity, BDNF or research institutions should not be used to imply that a commercial product has been clinically validated unless suitable evidence supports that statement.
Reviews and Personal Testing
A review may assess a product’s advertised features, supporting evidence, transparency and purchase terms without involving hands-on testing.
We should state the basis of the review and disclose whether the product was personally accessed or tested. We do not imply that a reviewer purchased, downloaded or used a product when that did not happen.
If hands-on observations are included, they should describe what was actually examined. Enjoying a recording or finding it comfortable does not establish a medical or cognitive benefit.
We do not fabricate testimonials, ratings, results or comparisons.
Practical Listening Guidance
Our listening guides help readers understand available options and practical limitations.
Suggestions should account for differences in tasks, environments and preferences. We do not present one soundtrack, frequency or listening duration as universally effective.
Our guide to choosing a brainwave audio program brings together questions readers can ask when evaluating an offer.
Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships
Some links on Brainwave Audio Guide are affiliate links. If a reader purchases through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
Affiliate disclosures should appear clearly on pages containing promotional affiliate links. Commercial relationships should not be used as a reason to omit relevant limitations or misrepresent alternatives.
If a product is supplied free of charge, or another material commercial relationship applies to a review, that relationship should be disclosed.
Read our Affiliate Disclosure for further information.
Prices, Access and Purchase Terms
Prices, package contents, delivery methods and refund conditions can change.
We aim to check these details when preparing or materially updating relevant content. Readers should confirm the current offer and terms with the seller before purchasing.
We do not describe information as verified live unless the relevant page or offer has actually been checked.
Content Preparation Tools
Research, writing and editing tools may assist content preparation. Their output is not, by itself, evidence that a statement is accurate.
Factual claims, source references, quotations and product details require checking regardless of how a draft was prepared. Generated material must not be presented as a genuine customer experience or an expert endorsement.
Images and Illustrations
Images may include original graphics, licensed material or generated illustrations.
Decorative imagery should not be presented as scientific evidence, a real customer, an actual product interface or a documented result. Illustrations of sound waves should not be mistaken for measurements from a recording or a listener.
Images should support the explanation without implying benefits that the article cannot substantiate.
Corrections and Updates
We welcome reports of factual errors, broken links and outdated information.
To request a correction, email info@brainwaveaudioguide.com and include:
- The page URL.
- The statement or detail you believe needs attention.
- An explanation and, where available, a supporting source.
When a material error is confirmed, the relevant content should be corrected. Substantive corrections should include an explanation where needed to help readers understand the change.
Publication and update dates should reflect actual editorial activity. A date should not be refreshed solely to make unchanged content appear newly reviewed.
Educational Scope
Brainwave Audio Guide provides general educational information. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments or replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Our Medical Disclaimer explains this scope further.
