Is the light comfortable for my eyes?

The headset uses gentle, low-intensity LEDs and you keep your eyes closed during the session. If you have a light-sensitive condition such as epilepsy, talk with your clinician and tell the team before booking.

How often should I use BrainTap?

It depends on your schedule and preference. Some members book a few sessions a week, and others use the app daily, such as a focus session in the morning and a wind-down session before bed.

Can I use this with other therapies?

Yes. Many members use it during PEMF sessions, before HBOT, or after a cold plunge as a calm way to close out their visit.

Do I need the headset to use the app?

You can use the app with standard headphones for the audio, but you will miss the light portion of the session.

How BrainTap Works

Light and Sound

The headset pairs binaural beats and isochronic tones with gentle light patterns while a guided voice leads the session.

Guided Visualization

Each session follows a guided track, from winding down to focus-themed sessions. You simply lie back and listen with your eyes closed.

Research Is Ongoing

Researchers continue to study brainwave entrainment. Many members use BrainTap as a calm, structured break in their day, and experiences vary.

About BrainTap

BrainTap was developed by Dr. Patrick K. Porter, Ph.D. The headset combines light delivered through the visor and earpieces with binaural beats, isochronic tones, and guided visualization.

Research on brainwave entrainment is ongoing. Culture OC offers BrainTap as a relaxation and wellness session, not a medical treatment.

The BrainTap headset features Bluetooth connectivity, a rechargeable battery, and access to over 2,000 guided sessions themed around rest, sleep, focus, and performance.

What a session is like

1. Settle in
Lie back and get comfortable, then put on the headset.
2. Close your eyes and listen
A guided voice leads the session while the headset plays light patterns and audio.
3. Take 20 to 30 minutes
When the track ends, take a moment before you get up.

A single BrainTap session is $35 (see all prices). BrainTap is also part of the $99 Vitality Reset, our 90-minute first visit, where it's paired with an Align PEMF session.
