Is BrainTap Safe?

BrainTap is safe for most adults. The most commonly reported effects are improved sleep, reduced stress, greater focus, and better mood.

Important: The LED visor produces flickering light. Individuals with epilepsy, seizure disorders, brain injury, photosensitivity, or other serious neurological conditions should consult their physician before using the headset. The audio-only app subscription (without the headset) can be used without exposure to light frequencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the headset to use BrainTap?

No. The BrainTap app works with any quality headphones. The headset amplifies results by adding light therapy and auriculotherapy, but you can start with audio only and add the headset later.

How quickly will I notice results?

Many users report feeling refreshed and calmer after their very first session. Over 90% of first-time users report feeling energized immediately after use. For lasting results, consistent daily use is recommended. Full benefits are typically experienced after completing a full audio series.

How many sessions are in the library?

The BrainTap app offers over 2,000 guided audio sessions across dozens of wellness categories, updated regularly.

What is brainwave entrainment?

Brainwave entrainment is the process of synchronizing the brain's electrical activity to a specific frequency using external stimuli — in BrainTap's case, light pulses and audio tones. When the brain follows these frequencies, it naturally shifts into the target mental state (relaxed, focused, or deeply rested) without requiring any conscious effort from the user.

Can I use BrainTap for sleep?

Yes. The SleepRx program is specifically designed to guide the brain into the delta and theta brainwave states associated with deep, restorative sleep. Clinical studies show significant improvement in sleep efficiency with consistent use.

What is auriculotherapy?

Auriculotherapy is a form of light therapy applied to acupuncture points in and around the ear. BrainTap's ear pieces deliver specific light frequencies to these points, supporting healing, nervous system balance, and overall well-being.

About BrainTap

BrainTap was developed by Dr. Patrick K. Porter, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and pioneer in brainwave entrainment research. Over decades of clinical work, Dr. Porter created BrainTap's proprietary neuro-algorithm — a technology that delivers the benefits of deep meditation and cognitive training in a simple, accessible format. BrainTap is used by individuals, athletes, executives, and healthcare providers seeking a science-based approach to brain health.

The DAVID Delight Plus takes everything you love about the Delight and significantly expands it — more sessions, more depth, and a frontier-level addition: gamma brainwave entrainment.

With 28 research-backed AVE sessions spanning Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, and Feeling Better — plus 3 specialized gamma sessions — the Delight Plus gives you a comprehensive, non-pharmaceutical toolkit for mental performance, emotional well-being, and long-term brain health. Gamma at 40 Hz is the brain's master clock frequency, and the science around it is genuinely exciting.

Key Benefits

•       28 sessions covering the full spectrum from deep sleep to peak performance

•       3 gamma sessions targeting focus, cytokine production, and cognitive health

•       Boost mood, sharpen memory, and reduce stress without pharmaceuticals

•       Proprietary randomization process for enhanced dissociation and brainwave tracking

•       Backed by clinical research in insomnia, SAD, cognitive performance, stress, and senior balance

28 Preset Sessions

Five sessions per category plus 3 advanced gamma sessions — the most comprehensive session library in the Delight family.

The Gamma Advantage — What Makes the Plus Unique

Gamma brainwaves (30–100 Hz) are the brain's highest-frequency activity, and 40 Hz is considered the master clock frequency — the rhythm that synchronizes other brainwave patterns and binds sensory experience into cohesive perception.

The Delight Plus includes three distinct gamma protocols:

•       SMR/Gamma — cycles between 40 Hz and 12–15 Hz (SMR) to calm the body while sharpening mental focus

•       Randomized 38–42 Hz — a varied approach using randomization for natural-feeling gamma entrainment

•       Fixed 40 Hz — based on research showing increased beneficial cytokine production

Research note: Gamma AVE has shown dramatic reduction of amyloid deposits in transgenic mice bred to develop Alzheimer's-like conditions. A Georgia Tech study by Singer et al. also found gamma AVE produced beneficial cytokines in healthy mice. While human trials are ongoing, the early science is compelling.

About Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE)

AVE uses precisely timed pulses of light and sound to guide brainwaves toward a target frequency — gently shifting your mental state with the push of a button. Beyond mood and focus benefits, AVE actively supports brain health by increasing cerebral blood flow and stimulating the natural production of serotonin, norepinephrine, and endorphins.

What's Included

•       28 RESEARCH-BACKED SESSIONS — Five sessions each across Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, and Feeling Better categories

•       3 GAMMA BRAINWAVE SESSIONS — SMR/gamma cycling, randomized 38–42 Hz, and fixed 40 Hz cytokine protocol for advanced brain health support

•       CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW + NEUROTRANSMITTER BOOST — AVE stimulates natural production of serotonin, norepinephrine, and endorphins

•       PROPRIETARY RANDOMIZATION — Enhances dissociation and brainwave tracking for more effective, consistent entrainment

•       NON-PHARMACEUTICAL APPROACH — Drug-free support for stress, sleep, mood, focus, and cognitive health

•       BACKED BY CLINICAL RESEARCH — Sessions supported by studies in SAD, insomnia, cognitive performance, stress reduction, and senior balance

Your brain has a natural ability to shift states — from anxious to calm, foggy to focused, wired to rested. The DAVID Delight makes that shift effortless.

Using Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) — a clinically researched technology combining pulsed light and rhythmic sound — the Delight gently guides your brainwaves into the state you need most. Whether you want to energize your morning, sharpen your thinking, settle anxious thoughts, or drift into deep sleep, there's a session designed for that. No pills. No screens. Just science-backed light and sound therapy in the palm of your hand.

Key Benefits

•       Reduce stress and quiet a racing mind

•       Fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply

•       Boost focus, memory, and mental clarity

•       Elevate mood and ease anxiety

•       Increase daily energy — without caffeine

•       Support overall brain health through increased cerebral blood flow and natural neurotransmitter production

Backed by research in: Seasonal Affective Disorder, insomnia, stress reduction, cognitive performance in students and seniors, mood regulation, and balance improvement.

What Is Audio-Visual Entrainment?

Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) uses precisely timed pulses of light and sound to "entrain" your brainwaves — guiding them toward a target frequency associated with a specific mental state.

10 Preset Sessions

Two sessions per category, so you can choose by depth, duration, or need.

Each category also includes a Sound Sync session that transforms your own music into a personalized light show.

Technology & Features

Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyeset Glasses

The patented Tru-Vu Omniscreen design uses 8 blue-tinted white LEDs mounted over a silver reflector behind a translucent screen — dispersing light evenly and safely across both visual fields. Uniquely, it can stimulate each hemisphere of the brain at a different frequency simultaneously, enabling independent left-brain/right-brain entrainment for superior mood and cognitive results.

Three Audio Entrainment Modes

•       Isochronic Pulsed Tones — evenly spaced, equal-pitch pulses for maximum entrainment effectiveness

•       Monaural Beats — smoother, gentler pulses ideal for those sensitive to sharp tones

•       Binaural Beats — two pure tones (one per ear) create a perceived beat for deep brainwave guidance

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Paced Breathing

Every session begins with guided HRV breathing — a clinically validated technique for calming the autonomic nervous system. The Delight paces your inhale and exhale cycles through audible heartbeat cues, helping to settle both sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic stress responses. You breathe in sync with the device, supporting deeper relaxation and faster session onset.

Proprietary Randomization Process

The Delight's randomization technology enhances dissociation — your brain's ability to "let go" and track the entrainment stimulus — resulting in more effective and consistent brainwave guidance session after session.

Soft-Off Fade Technology

Sessions end with a gradual dimming of lights and tones, preventing startle response (somatic shock) and preserving the calming benefits even after the session completes.

User-Friendly Design

•       Night-vue illuminated buttons — visible in the dark for bedtime use

•       Raised tactile power, intensity, and volume buttons — easy to adjust without opening your eyes
