BrainTap

Relax. Reboot. Revitalize.

Software Targeting your Heart Rate Variability (Sleep, Anxiety, PTSD, Health & Wellness) BrainTap’s neuro-algorithm produces brainwave training — the synchronization of brainwaves to a specialized sound — with no user effort. 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.

HRV DIAGNOSTICS - BRAINTAP

Measure HRV, sympathetic and parasympathetic response, psycho-emotional state, and adaptation receptivity. Diagnostic Device used for measuring heart rate variability. This technology checks for a variety of neurological responses such as, sympathetic and parasympathetic response, psycho-emotional state, and adaptation receptivity.

HEART MATH EMWAVE PRO

The Inner Balance™ Trainer teaches techniques to manage stress, revitalize energy, and restore mental and emotional balance and resilience. Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states affect your nervous system and how you feel.

EMDR Lightbar, Paddles & Sound

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Equipment

EMDR is an extensively researched integrative psychotherapy proven "gold standard" for trauma treatment. EMDR utilizes eye movements, bi-lateral sound or pulsations to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain. Traumatic memories are stored in parts of the brain where they can’t be processed then images, sounds and emotions related to the memory become “frozen in time.” EMDR “unfreezes” these memories, as this occurs, the memory loses its emotional charge and becomes less distressing.

Neurofeedback Coming Soon! (NFT)

NeurOptimal & BrainAvitar (QEEG)

"NFT is a branch of BFT that provides real-time displays using an electroencephalograph (EEG), as opposed to an electromyograph (EMG), heart rate variability (HRV), skin temperature, or other psychophysiological measures. An electroencephalograph monitors brain electrical activity (e.g., brainwaves), while an electromyograph detects muscle action potentials from skeletal muscles. These modalities differ in the signals they detect, process, and display (Collura, 2014). The goals of this process are to: (1) ensure correct regulatory function in the brain's neuromodulating systems (2) encourage global neuropsychophysiological change (3) correct specific, distinct, identifiable disorders or barriers to optimal performance that result from underlying dysregulation (4) enhance performance by optimizing nervous system functioning.

Understanding Allostatic Load: The Hidden Toll on Your Health Mind-Body Connection

  •  09/03/2023 10:19

Allostatic load is a concept in stress physiology that encompasses the cumulative impact of chronic or repeated stress on the body as it adapts to life's challenges. This concept underscores the intricate connection between mental health and physical well-being, demonstrating that while acute stress is an adaptive response, chronic stress can lead to the overexposure of stress hormones, resulting in various physiological changes that affect overall health. Coined by neuroscientist Bruce McEwen, allostatic load represents the physiological consequences of the body's efforts to adapt to stressors. Its impact varies among individuals due to factors such as personality traits, life experiences, enculturation, and neurobiology. For instance, personalities with higher neuroticism or anxiety sensitivity may be more vulnerable to stress-related health issues. Traumatic events, adverse childhood experiences, cultural factors, and an individual's genetic and epigenetic makeup can all shape their unique allostatic load.
