In this research book BrainTap will feature the studies of human brain waves, measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG), are rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in Central Nervous System (CNS) neurons. It is through these electrical signals that the brain communicates within itself and with other organ systems (Tatum 2014). Coherent and functional brainwave patterns are required for the successful processing, execution and completion of a task, whether physical (such as walking) or mental (solving an algebra problem, for instance) (Tang et al., 2016). It is well known that brain oscillatory rhythms that fall in the 1-30Hz frequency range can be modulated or entrained by an external stimulus (Thut et al., 2011). More 1 specifically, entrainment occurs if a population of neurons in a stimulated region adopts the phase of an entraining stimulus. The entraining stimulus has two effects on population activity: (i) an increase in signal intensity (or power) as more and more neurons become phase aligned to the entraining stimulus, and (ii) phase alignment of the population activity to the entraining stimulus (Hanslmayr et al., 2019). In healthy individuals, specific brainwave patterns are associated with various mental states. Five common brainwave frequency bands or patterns (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma) and related mental activities have been described (Thompson and Thompson 2003). Brainwave or Neural entrainment, may provide an almost instantaneous increase in power of the stimulated oscillatory frequency (Chaieb et al., 2015), and can be achieved with minimal effort from the participant through rhythmic auditory (Isochronic tones, Binaural beats) or visual stimulation to entrain neural oscillations.

A 30-day action plan to supercharge your brain and achieve peak performance using a proven combination of holistic ancient wisdom and modern BrainTap technology. Your brain wasn't built for the world we live in. Poor sleep, excessive screen time, and modern stressors have disrupted brain function, leading to mental fatigue, decreased focus, and emotional imbalance. So how are we going to thrive? Dr. Patrick Porter, founder of BrainTap, and Ruchika Sikri, founding partner of Wisdom Ventures and former Head of Well-being at Google, will help you restore your cognitive clarity, find emotional balance, and achieve lasting vitality with an integrative framework that harnesses the tools of holistic spiritual practices alongside the insights of cutting-edge research. Why modern life is hijacking your brain--and how to reclaim control How meditation, breathwork, and nature-based rituals reset your nervous systemHow emerging technologies can enhance focus, sleep, and emotional regulationDaily habits to support mental sharpness, resilience, and purposeA 30-day action plan to rewire your brain for energy, clarity, and joyStarting today, you can embark on the transformative path toward the vibrant, focused, and flourishing mind you were meant to have.

If you could lose weight on your own, you wouldn't be holding this book in your hands right now. The experts all tell you to eat fewer calories and exercise more. If only it were that easy! The truth is, most people and most so-called experts have no idea what triggers the body to gain or lose weight. Few people recognize the clues (symptoms) that are your body's warning signals that your food choices aren't working. Add the fact that almost no one understands the relationship between stress and weight, and it's no wonder we have a nation of chronic dieters who stay overweight, unhealthy and unhappy no matter how hard they try. Well, today is your day...because you have in your hands the definitive guidebook for weight loss success that lasts. Within these pages we'll teach you everything you need to know to lose weight and keep it off for life, and it couldn't be simpler when all you have to do is follow ten easy steps! Together, we'll finally make your dream a reality so you can...*Stop starving * Be rid of cravings * End emotional eating * Turn off fat storage hormones * Supercharge fat burning hormones * Suppress your appetite naturally * Clear up digestive problems * Reverse the stress/weight effect * Do away with habitual overeating * Achieve radiant good health from the inside out!
