We're previewing the 9th annual Biohacking Conference in Orlando Florida (June 22 - 24) on The Human Upgrade!Patrick K. Porter, PhD has dedicated his life to studying neuropsychology. For years it was believed that we have a set number of brain cells, that our intelligence quotient is fixed, and that our brains do not change. Dr. Porter’s clinical experience and research told a different story, revealing that the human brain is, in fact, plastic, making it capable of change, improvement, and expansion. Patrick’s discoveries led him to develop the BrainTap headset, sparking incredible transformation for thousands of people. In 2014, with the emergence of the Apple and Android mobile platforms, he saw the opportunity to impact millions more by bringing this technology to an app. Thus, the brain fitness company – BrainTap – was born.BrainTap has proven that your brain can be retrained to operate at its best and that it’s never too late to tap into your brain’s fullest potential. With its state-of-the-art headset and a suite of more than 1800 sessions that range across dozens of desired life outcomes, the company has made great strides in revitalizing the mental clarity, confidence, and energy of extraordinary individuals worldwide.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
