Episode notes

INSIGHT

BrainTap and Subspace

BrainTap helps downregulate the nervous system, allowing the brain to operate in "subspace".
This state, similar to deep meditation, enhances neuroplasticity and reduces the influence of external stressors.

INSIGHT

Altered States and Neuroplasticity

Altered states of consciousness, achievable through methods like BrainTap, promote neuroplasticity.
These states, also induced by psychedelics and deep meditation, are natural human states, not solely drug-induced.

ANECDOTE

BrainTap User Base and Veteran Study

BrainTap has over 30 million sessions and 120,000 users.
A study with veterans using BrainTap for psychedelic integration showed promising results.
