BrainTap
BrainTap lets you reach deeper meditative states without years of disciplined practice, leading to mental clarity and intuition. It enhances sleep so you can awaken feeling rejuvenated and energized.
In just 22 minutes of deep relaxation, your brain will be guided to: RELAX REBOOT and REVITALIZE
Unlike other meditation programs, BrainTap's exclusive neuro-algorithms gently and naturally guide your brain through a broad range of brainwave patterns, instead of just the Alpha state. The result is a complete spectrum of brainwave activity.
Includes: BrainTap headset (LED-equipped earphones and attached LED-equipped visor), standard USB charger, audio cord, user manual, carrying case and the Founder’s Choice program found on the BrainTap Pro App.
Requirements: Requirements: An audio file encoded with Neuro-Sensory Sensory Algorithms® or AudioStrobe®, an iPod®, iPad®, iPhone® or Android® device for listening via the BrainTap Pro app.
The Science
The Science Behind BrainTap
After decades of research, Dr. Porter has developed a truly revolutionary concept in BrainTap — a powerfully effective tool designed to help people like you achieve balanced brainwave states that enhance production of all the necessary neurotransmitters needed for optimal function of body and mind.
Through guided meditation, Braintapping guides your mind from an awake, reactionary mind into an intuitive, creative state, then to a place where super learning and healing can occur, with the outcome being a heightened state of consciousness with crystal clear focus.
Braintapping creates a symphony of brainwave activity, a feeling of calm focus that's just right for learning and productivity. Each guided meditation session is designed with brainwave balance in mind.
The science behind BrainTap relies on four key elements that enable the sessions to induce brainwave entrainment. Those four elements are located on the next four sections: Binaural Beats, Visualization, Holographic, Tones and Light.
Binaural Beats
BINAURAL BEATS
When two different tones, separated in frequency by only a few Hertz, are introduced — one in each ear — the brain perceives a third, unique tone. Binaural beats work by creating this phantom frequency, which the brain then mimics. For example, if we play a 220 Hz carrier tone into the left ear and a 226.5 Hz carrier tone into the right ear, your brain perceives the difference between the two, which is a subtle beat frequency of 6.5 Hz, the same frequency associated with deep, meditative states. Your brain naturally follows this frequency, and you experience this deeply relaxed state.
BrainTap’s proprietary algorithms have been shown to produce a state of calm and concentration in the brain, yielding the full effect of the guided visualization, and resulting in extraordinary levels of performance that would otherwise take years of practice to achieve.
Visualization
GUIDED VISUALIZATION
In general, the visual imagery process involves the individual setting aside a period for relaxation, during which he or she contemplates mental images depicting a desired result or goal. This exercise is done during the spoken-word sessions to help the listener envision a consistent image (either literal or symbolic) of the results desired from the session.
Visualization has been studied for decades, having been shown to have the power to affect mental states, improve physical and athletic performance and even heal the body. And when combined with the other elements of BrainTap, these effects are increased and optimized.
Holographic
10-CYCLE HOLOGRAPHIC MUSIC
Another aid to the guided meditation is 10-cycle holographic music, which is a sonic technology that produces a 360-degree sound environment.
In this sonic environment, the visualizations become more real to the mind, helping the user take full advantage of the power of the visualizations by creating a more receptive learning state.
Tones
ISOCHRONIC TONES
Isochronic tones are equal intensity pulses of sound separated by an interval of silence. They turn on and off rapidly, but the speed depends on the desired brain frequency. The discrete nature of isochronic tones makes them particularly easy for the brain to follow. While binaural beats rely on balanced hearing in both ears, isochronic tones work effectively for nearly everyone, except for someone with complete hearing loss. This is one of the reasons BrainTap’s proprietary algorithms incorporate both types of tones.
Light
THE POWER OF LIGHT – THE BRAINTAP HEADSET
In addition to the sonic effects of braintapping, the BrainTap headset delivers gentle light pulses that travel through the retina and ear meridians, sending direct signals to the brain and guiding you into unparalleled brain states.
Pulsing light, in the correct pattern and intensity, can produce levels of deep relaxation known to affect serotonin and endorphin levels, with an average increase of 21 percent in one study.
