Sayanah Wellness in Naples has introduced a new brain fitness device called BrainTap, a technology using guided meditation, light, sound, and vibration therapy to promote relaxation, focus, and mental clarity. The system includes a headset with an attached mask with LED lights, headphones, and an app with more than 1,000 choices for guided meditations.

“The headphones deliver synchronized light and sound, or vibration, to the brain. Absorbed through the optic nerves, the frequencies follow the meridians in the ears. The founder and inventor of BrainTap is Patrick Porter, Ph.D., whose motto is 'Better a Billion Brains.' He’s been on the leading edge of brain entrainment technology for 32 years, promoting deeper sleep states, better focus, and helping to activate the power of the mind to promote healing and enhance cognitive function,” says Sayanah Janell, Ph.D., a natural health practitioner, iridologist, and owner of Sayanah Wellness Center.

“Patrick teaches that we have an estimated 80,000 thoughts a day and at least 60,000 of them are negative. These thoughts take place in the beta state of alert consciousness conducive to problem-solving. In four to six weeks with BrainTap technology, it is possible to encourage the brain to cycle through the brainwave states of beta, alpha, theta, to delta, where healing can take place. The process of cycling through these states can upgrade our thinking process, reduce our stress, enhance cognitive function, improve memory, attention, creativity, and overall cognitive performance,” advises Janell.

Beta waves are followed by alpha waves, conducive to relaxed wakefulness and tranquility. Theta waves are even slower, where insight, intuition, creativity, and inner peace generally take place. Delta is a deep dreamless sleep state. In a sympathetic state, or high-stress state such as beta, the body can’t heal. It only heals and repairs itself during the delta state, a parasympathetic state. Thus, we need to rest, relax, and recover.

The light and sound frequencies used by BrainTap have been specifically selected and proven through science via the use of an electroencephalogram, which measures electrical activity in the brain by attaching metal discs (electrodes) to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active even during sleep.

Results of a pilot trial, “Effect of Audio-Visual Brain Entrainment on Mood and Quality of Sleep,” were conducted with university students and presented at the 2020 International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health. The goal of the trial was to determine the effects of audio-visual brain entrainment on mood and quality of sleep. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of the Peak Performance Method (PPM) combined with Audio Brain Entrainment on anxiety, general health, stress, quality of sleep, mindset, and work productivity of professionals. When PPM was combined with BrainTap, effects were more significant on most of the outcomes assessed in the study. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Experimental Neuroscience at the University of Southern Santa Catarina in Brazil.

“The good news is that with BrainTap technology, our brain can be trained to cycle through the brainwave states at any age, and we don't have to do anything to learn it. This is unlike other forms of relaxation and meditation where it may take years and we need to stay aware,” explains Janell.
