Dr. Patrick Porter, a neuroscience expert and founder of BrainTap, discusses revolutionary approaches in brain enhancement through light and sound therapy. He explains how BrainTap boosts neuroplasticity and cognitive functions, even comparing its effects to psychedelics. The conversation covers the significance of altered states for learning and memory retention, and how personal development can thrive by calming the nervous system. Porter also highlights the vibrant biohacking community and its upcoming conference where enthusiasts can explore these innovations.

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.
insights 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.

The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want
Dave Asprey
In 'Smarter Not Harder,' Dave Asprey exposes the surprising secrets of the body's operating system, or 'MeatOS,' which is naturally designed to be lazy. He shows how to hack this system to achieve optimum wellness by exercising and eating smarter, not harder, and utilizing the body's built-in laziness. The book is packed with practical information on better eating, smart workouts, and strategic therapies to reduce stress and boost resilience, aiming to upgrade metabolic, neurological, and epigenetic systems.
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.
