IN THIS EPISODE OF BULLETPROOF RADIO... You’ll find out how award-winning speaker and author Dr. Patrick Porter developed tools that help your brain access its optimum state through brainwave entrainment.
Brainwave entrainment means that different sounds, like Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones, are pulsed into each of your ears to stimulate your brain into an altered state of consciousness. In a good way! This can improve your focus, energy, relaxation and deep sleep.
Using guided meditation, Dr. Porter’s BrainTap device uses a neuro-algorithm to synchronize your brainwaves to a specialized sound. That results in full-spectrum brainwave activity. Each session ensures the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, also known as neuroplasticity.
Dr. Porter has been a leader in brainwave entertainment tech for more than three decades years. He previously developed the world's first personal sound and light brain-training machine, the mc2, and created a Behavior Repatterning device. He’s written several books about the brain, including: Awaken the Genius: Mind Technology for the 21st Century; Discover the Language of the Mind; Thrive in Overdrive: How to Navigate Your Overloaded Lifestyle; and Awaken Your Flourishing Brain.
Dr. Porter continues to widen the scope of what we know about brain capabilities and performance. He says,” We've got this globally world-class brain that can do incredible things for us,” but people often aren’t listening to it.
“Once we started being able to measure the brain, we could track how the brain changes,” he says. “We know that every three to five seconds, we need to make a change or interrupt the pattern. If not, the brain will go “bye-bye,” – it's like advertising. The brain only has so much.”
BrainTap increases your production of neurotransmitters, leading to a more balanced brainwave state. Even if you can’t stay in that balanced brain state, the feeling of that optimal mode will stick with you and will be within reach at all times. It’s like a flow-state from meditation if you’ve experienced that. But you don’t have to be a meditation expert to experience benefits. BrainTap allows even complete beginners to see immediate progress
You can do the BrainTap sessions at different times of the day when you naturally lose energy, helping you with things like sleep, focus, concentration, mindfulness, memory, stress and anxiety. The sessions also have been shown to increase athletic performance and recovery, and even help with addictions.
In this episode, Dr. Porter explains the four elements of BrainTap, including Binaural Beats, Guided Visualization, 0-Cycle Holographic Music and Isochronic Tones. You’ll get to geek out on all the ways your brain affects your body (and vice-versa) and learn what you can do to reach your full brainiac potential.
“Our brain actually is always syncing to its environment,” Patrick says. “That's why if it's chaotic {that it’s] causing some disruption. You have to filter it out. You have to learn how to do that.”

| 0:00.0 | Boatproof Radio, a state of high performance. |
| 0:05.8 | You're listening to Boatproof Radio with Dave Asprey. |
| 0:09.0 | Today is a special show because we are live in the same room the way people used to |
| 0:16.7 | meet. |
| 0:17.7 | Here at the Biohacking Conference, the day before it's going to start. |
| 0:22.2 | And I'm here with Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD. |
| 0:26.8 | And he's the founder of BrainTap. |
| 0:29.6 | BrainTap is a technology I'm really interested in in the world of biohacking because they're |
| 0:35.3 | able to change the brain using several different modalities or input methods for our biology. |
| 0:43.4 | Stuff that I've been talking about for a long time in the world of biohacking. |
| 0:47.5 | And so here instead of just doing one thing, it's going to sound totally crazy. |
| 0:51.0 | What if you did more than one thing that works all at the same time? |
| 0:54.7 | This is what I've been teaching you guys to do as biohackers for a long time. |
| 0:57.5 | And if it's the vitamin C or the zinc, how about you do them both right now? |
| 1:02.4 | And then after you get the results you wanted, you got over your cold faster, then you |
| 1:07.2 | can see if just one of the other works. |
| 1:08.8 | But the idea is get the results. |
| 1:11.4 | And there's a ton of real science here about why you would use these types of modalities, |
| 1:15.6 | tighten package them up and how you put your brain in states that you wouldn't otherwise |
| 1:19.0 | think about. |
| 1:20.0 | Dr. Porter, as he's an author, he wrote, Awake in the Genius. |
| 1:24.6 | He's a online technology for the 21st century as well as three or four other books. |
