About BrainTap
We're on a mission to better a billion brains with light, sound, and guided audio anyone can use in 20 minutes a day.
WHERE IT BEGAN
Our Story
Dr. Patrick Porter spent decades studying how light, sound and guided imagery can help the brain shift into calmer, more focused states. But that work was only available in practitioners' offices. In 2014, he founded BrainTap to put it in everyone's pocket.
