Episode description

We're previewing the 10th annual Biohacking Conference in Dallas, Texas, (May 30 - June 1) on The Human Upgrade

Dr. Patrick Porter and BrainTap are pioneers in the intersection of neuroscience and technology, transforming the way we approach mental and cognitive health. BrainTap, a device developed under Dr. Porter's guidance, merges light and sound therapy with guided visualization to enhance the brain's neuroplasticity. This technology not only offers a leap in personal development but also aligns perfectly with the biohacker's toolkit for optimized mental performance. 

In this episode, explore the established benefits of BrainTap technology, a favorite at the Biohacking Conference. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how BrainTap's approach to brain enhancement can invigorate daily mental health routines, making sophisticated neuroscience accessible to individuals seeking to maximize their mental capacity.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Utilize Braintap sessions to learn during sleep

The brain can absorb information through vibrational states even while you are snoring during a Braintap session, as it learns differently than the conscious mind.

Enhance sleep by over 68% with Braintap device

Studies on nurses and coal miners with disrupted schedules showed sleep improvements of 68% and 70% respectively by using the Braintap device.

Recognize intelligence distributed throughout body systems

Beyond the brain between our ears, we possess a 'thinking immune system' and a 'thinking nervous system,' suggesting intelligence is distributed throughout the body.

Experience benefits of 'dry float' chair for nervous system wellness

Braintap offers 'dry float' chairs with transducers that deliver sound and vibratory information through the entire nervous system without getting wet.

Achieve cognitive improvement with Braintap in six weeks

In a study with over 100 people, every participant was taken off the dementia scale within six weeks of using Braintap.

Energize your brain to dissolve negative memories

Your brain won't keep a negative memory if it has enough energy to dissolve it, but low energy states from thoughts, trauma, and toxins prevent this healing.

Correct brain voltage imbalance to address dementia

Dementia can happen when there isn't enough voltage in the brain and the two hemispheres aren't matched, a state which can be corrected.

Follow up psychedelics with Braintap for lasting neuroplastic benefits

The neuroplastic changes from psychedelics only last for 72 hours, requiring follow-up with tech like Braintap to make the benefits permanent.

Utilize Braintap to replicate effects of master meditators

Braintap is proven to downregulate the brain's default mode network, an effect also seen in master meditators and with the use of psychedelics.
