About · Updated August 2026
Short answer: Ryan Smith is the name this site publishes under. I am not a doctor, I did not buy The Brain Song, and I do not sell it. I earn an affiliate commission if you buy through my link. This page sets out exactly what I checked, when, and what I refused to make up.
There is one review on this site, of one product. It is The Brain Song review, and everything below is about how it was put together.
One person reading sales pages carefully and writing down what they say, with the date I read them. That is the whole job description. The value of this site is not expertise, it is that somebody actually opened the six official pages selling this product and compared them line by line.
I am not a doctor, a neuroscientist, a therapist, or any kind of licensed health professional, and nothing on this site is medical advice. I am not the seller of The Brain Song, I do not handle orders, deliveries or refunds, and I have no access to your purchase. That is covered on the contact page.
Ryan Smith is a pen name. I publish under it because I am an affiliate: I have no role in producing, delivering or refunding the product, and I do not want my personal details attached to somebody else's transaction. It does not change anything factual on the site. Every claim in the review is sourced to a page you can open yourself, with the date I read it, and those pages are listed further down.
The review is an audit, not an opinion piece, so here is the audit trail.
The six official sales pages, all read on August 6, 2026. They are listed by address rather than linked, for two reasons: they are rewritten without notice, and the only link to any of them anywhere on this site is the disclosed affiliate link in the review.
The two studies the marketing leans on are linked directly, because there is no reason not to: Iaccarino et al., Nature, 2016 and Martorell et al., Cell, 2019. Read the methods sections. Both were carried out in mice, and neither tested this audio track or any product.
The eleven competing reviews were read on August 6, 2026 and are described in the review itself. They are not listed here, because pointing readers at pages I am arguing are unreliable would be a strange thing to do.
I did not buy The Brain Song. I have never played the audio, so I cannot tell you how long the file really runs, what format it arrives in, what the bonuses are, or whether an upsell appears after checkout. Every one of those is marked as unconfirmed in the review, in the place where a normal review would guess.
There are no fabricated testimonials on this site, no invented credentials, and no stock photo presented as me or as a user. The one first-hand account in the review is my brother's, 38, who has used the track for 84 days. He wrote it himself, I published it in full instead of trimming it into something more flattering, and I attached a paragraph explaining why one uncontrolled account is not evidence.
The buttons in the review are affiliate links. If you buy through one, ClickBank pays me a commission and you pay exactly the same $39 USD you would pay otherwise. Nothing is added to your price.
What that commission does not buy is the verdict. The review carries two scores, not one: the offer scores 4.5 out of 5, because $39 once with a ClickBank-processed refund is a genuinely clean deal, and the evidence behind the product scores 2 out of 5, because no clinical trial of this track exists and the seller's own pages contradict each other. Both arithmetics are published on the page so you can check them. The review also spends entire sections arguing that hours of 40 Hz gamma audio are free on YouTube. A commission-led page would not contain any of that.
Prices, guarantee terms and sales pages change without warning, and I re-read them rather than assuming. This site does not run an inbox, so there is no "email me if I am wrong" here — that promise is easy to print and almost never kept. What replaces it is a record you can audit: every source named with the date it was read, every change dated in the log below, and the verification date printed beside the price in the review itself.
And one rule that outranks everything on this site: if the page you are paying on contradicts this review, the seller changed the offer and this review is out of date. Trust the checkout page.
Every substantive change made to this site since it went live, with the date. Nothing here is edited quietly.
