Why Olympic Wrestlers Are Using This Startup's Songbots

For elite athletes, being able to tune out distractions is practically a requirement. But that doesn't mean it comes easy. To prepare for matches at this year's Olympics, some athletes are now listening to music composed by robots. According to Newsweek, the U.S. wrestling team has turned to Brain.fm, a startup that makes tunes meant to help listeners relax, focus, or go to sleep. The music contains barely detectable vibrations that align with the frequencies naturally emitted by the brain, according to the company.
