How BrainTap Works

BrainTap’s neuro-algorithm produces brainwave stimulation — the synchronization of brainwaves to a specialized sound — with no user effort. The result of which is full-spectrum brainwave activity. Using this matrix of neuro-activity, each of BrainTap’s sessions is encoded differently to ensure maximum neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, resulting in a flexible and resilient brain.

When two different tones, separated in frequency by only a few Hertz, are introduced — one in each ear — the brain perceives a third, unique tone. Binaural beats work by creating this phantom frequency, which the brain then mimics. This same frequency is associated with deep, meditative states. Your brain naturally follows this frequency, and you experience this deeply relaxed state. BrainTap’s proprietary algorithms have been shown to produce a state of calm and concentration in the brain, yielding the full effect of the guided visualization and resulting in extraordinary levels of performance that would otherwise take years of practice to achieve.

In addition to the sonic effects of braintapping, the BrainTap headset in Portland, OR, delivers gentle light pulses that travel through the retina and ear meridians, sending direct signals to the brain and guiding you into unparalleled brain states. Pulsing light, in the correct pattern and intensity, can produce levels of deep relaxation known to affect serotonin and endorphin levels, with an average increase of 21 percent in one study. These increases not only can calm and relax the mind but also produce powerful effects in maintaining a positive outlook and optimistic thinking.

What our customers say

"Im extremely happy with my visit with Dr K! He's very knowledgeable, took his time addressing my issues and went over what he thought would work best for me. I felt like he went out of his way for me as patient and that is very rare these days. I highly recommend him!"

"Absolutely Amazing!!! I promise that is not a hyperbole. About a week ago, I was circling the drain as I had overtrained in the gym on leg day. My entire body was cramping and starting to lock up to the point that any movement at all was painful or caused more cramps. Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical was a literal godsend; saved my life and a for certain trip to the ER. As a former collegiate athlete, the services and treatment offered at Upgrade Medical is EVERYTHING I’ve missed since playing ball. To be able to access the same or similar recovery treatments has opened up the possibilities for me to be more engaged in my athletic endeavors. Previously I would train and then end up taking 2-4 weeks off to allow my body to recover; with Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical I’m preparing to run my first ever marathon in November. Again, former athlete, so the thought of running distance is absolutely ridiculous and terrifying at the same time, but I’m encouraged knowing there’s a knowledgeable partner to assist me through the journey. As someone who’s spent over 1/2 their lives inside the gym or training for sport I couldn’t began to recommend the services and attention you get at Upgrade Medical. I’d seriously recommend for everyone, rather you’re a beginner in the fitness world, or a seasoned athlete pursuing new goals. I honestly feel as locked in as I did when playing football in college, I know and feel confident in the idea that I can push my in the training realm while having expertise and genuine care in the recovery process in Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical."

"Chris is a phenomenal doctor! He is thorough and direct and has the ability to utilize western meds while also thinking outside the box for treatment protocol. He has helped me so much in getting answers to and managing my chronic pain."
