Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD
Dr. Patrick Porter is the Founder and CEO of BrainTap. His passion for understanding the brain led him to explore the power of neuroplasticity after personally experiencing the benefits of rewiring his own brain in college to think, sleep, and perform better.
Realizing that this kind of technology was not widely accessible, he made it his mission to bring it to more people through BrainTap. Today, he shares this science-based approach around the world and is most passionate about helping people improve brain function and overall well-being — one brain at a time.
