Noise cancelling tech works by creating a waveform this is opposite ambient noise so they add up to a flat line. I'm convinced that this works in a similar way, but more like filling in the thought gaps with a complementary data input that has a net result of evening it all out.

I always thought of thrashing out to focus being like having deep thought time while crocheting. You're distracting most of your senses and focusing in on the important bits.

There's also just a pace setting component where the high tempo just helps me feel like I'm flying - I'm moving so fast that I can't look away so my ADHD has less of a grip on me and I can focus better.
