inTime: An Overview

So what exactly is inTime? We get asked this a lot. Briefly, it is a rhythm-based music listening method developed to influence brain performance.

Created by experts, inTime is an organic compilation of original compositions, based on a blend of world music with diverse percussion, string, and wind instrumentation, which accents the power of rhythm and sound frequencies.

inTime provides a personalized program of listening training and fun movement activities, using body, drum, and voice to help you keep your beat, and flow with the rhythms of daily life.

The brain is musical; neuroscience has proven through functional brain imaging that music engages more brain areas than anything else, and rhythm is the most important, fundamental aspect of music. Your brain health and brain-body connection depend on rhythm.

Engaging with the rhythm-based music of inTime will help stimulate rhythm awareness, focus, timing precision and adaptive responses to stress, all of which supply your brain with the highest quality of stimulation it needs for optimal function.

The Music
The original world music of inTime is entirely composed and played by Nacho Arimany. Recordings were done in High Definition sound within natural acoustic spaces. The signature inTime sound is achieved through masterful emphasis of orchestrated percussive rhythms and specified sound frequencies, created using over 100 instruments from cultures and regions around the globe.

Who can benefit?
inTime was created to engage multiple brain regions through a combination of music, rhythm, and beat-based activities. inTime is used to help children, teens, and adults stimulate improve focus, rhythm & timing, and stress response.

One of the best ways to see how a program can help is through the experience of another. See what Gillian had to share about her experience as a participant in the inTime preliminary clinical trial.
