BrainTap works by stimulating your brainwaves into different frequencies, improving both mental and physical performance.
Over time, BrainTap trains your brain to be resilient and creative, building up new neural pathways so you can enjoy clear, focused, confident thinking.
BrainTap’s scientifically proven technology uses brainwave entrainment to put you into a state of deep relaxation and concentration, enabling your mind to function at maximum capacity.
WHY BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES MATTER
Our brains operate on different frequencies, so when we are in an alert state or in deep sleep, we’re operating at a different wavelength than when we’re daydreaming or meditating. Brainwaves are measured in Hertz (Hz) and range from 1 to 100 Hz. Each brainwave pattern has its own function:
- Delta waves (< 4 Hz) occur during deep sleep and recovery
- Theta waves (4–7 Hz) are associated with occur during deep relaxation
- Alpha waves (8–13 Hz) occur during periods of calm focus and meditation
- Beta waves (13–30 Hz) signify active mental processes and peak concentration;
- Gamma waves (30-80 Hz) are associated with high levels of thought and focus
BrainTap’s exclusive neuro-algorithms gently and naturally guide your brain through a broad range of brainwave patterns, creating a symphony of brainwave activity, a feeling of calm focus designed for learning and productivity. Each session is designed with brainwave balance in mind.
HOW EXACTLY DOES THE BRAINTAP HEADSET AFFECT BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES?
The BrainTap headset delivers audio, sonic effects, and gentle light pulses that travel through your ear meridians and your retinas, sending direct signals to your brain to stimulate specific brainwave frequencies. The headset uses a mix of binaural beats, guided visualization, 10-cycle holographic music, and isochronic tones to achieve the desired brainwave states.
Binaural Beats
The BrainTap headset creates binaural beats by playing two audio tones with similar frequencies simultaneously but in different ears. The brain listens to both tones, combines them into a single tone, and tries to follow the frequency difference between the two.
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.
Guided Visualization
Visualization is a powerful tool for achieving goals because images provide the mind with a map for navigating and taking action. When combined with the other elements of BrainTap and spoken words, visual imagery has been shown to have the power to affect mental states, improve physical and athletic performance and even heal the body.
10-Cycle Holographic Music
Holographic music is a sonic technology that produces a 360-degree sound environment, making the visualizations become more real to the mind. The use of this holographic music can help the user take full advantage of the power of the visualizations by creating a more receptive learning state.
Isochronic Tones
Isochronic tones create a repeating pulse that turns on and off rapidly. The discrete nature of isochronic tones makes them particularly easy for the brain to follow. When the pulses are focused on the desired brain frequency, they can be more effective for inducing certain brainwave states than binaural beats.
DOES A BRAINTAP SESSION AFFECT MY BRAIN PHYSICALLY?
The answer is YES – in a positive way. The same specific brainwave frequencies that sharpen your mind and increase your relaxation levels also stimulate your brain chemically.
When in this deep state, your brain-body’s regenerative repair chemicals (parasympathetic hormones) and stabilizing neurotransmitters – such as serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine – are released, which restore good brain function. Metabolization of glucose to your cerebral region also increases, improving neuronal functioning.
The brainwave entrainment process also increases cerebral blood flow (CBF). Low CBF is associated with many forms of mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, attentional problems, behavior disorders, and impaired cognitive function. CBF tends to lower as we age, often causing cognitive decline.
