BrainTap headset (light + sound + binaural beats) and more broadly the “brainwave entrainment” field.

⸻

✅ Studies showing potential benefits

Here are several that lend support to the idea of light/sound/binaural-beat entrainment influencing brain function.
1. Systematic Review: Light & Sound Stimulation
A review titled “Stimulation by Light and Sound: Therapeutic showing that light + sound stimulation could induce favourable mental states, improved learning/athletic performance, and some physical/mental health benefits. 
• The authors conclude that the technique “can be applied … in a safe and noninvasive way” but also note that the research base is quite limited. 
• Good to know: this gives broader context that the general method is being explored scientifically.
2. Study on Binaural Beats & Memory in Adolescents
A study titled “Effect of Brainwave Entrainment Using Binaural Beat Stimulation on Short-Term Memory” found positive effects on working memory in adolescents after listening to a 40 Hz binaural beat for five minutes compared to control. 
• This suggests that auditory entrainment alone (binaural beats) may improve certain cognitive functions (e.g., short-term memory).
• Caveat: small sample size, short duration, limited scope.
3. Study on Modulatory Effect of Light + Binaural Beats
A study “Modulatory Effect of Association of Brain Stimulation by Light and Binaural Beats in Specific Brain Waves” examined the combined effect of LED lights + binaural beats on different populations (elderly, children with autism/intellectual impairment, etc.). 
• They found modulatory effects on alpha and SMR brain waves.
• This is more in line with what a device like BrainTap claims (light + sound + brainwave entrainment).
• Still, this is more “brain-wave changes” rather than proven long-term functional outcomes.
4. Recent Paper on Optical Light Stimulation & Entrainment
A 2025 paper, “Alertness assessment by optical stimulation-induced brainwave entrainment…” showed that rhythmic light stimulation (optical) can entrain brainwaves and that machine learning classifiers could detect alertness changes. 
• Demonstrates technical capacity for entrainment via light stimulation in humans.
• Doesn’t necessarily show long-term functional benefit, but shows the mechanism is plausible.
5. Research on 40 Hz (Gamma) Stimulation for Alzheimer’s/Neurodegeneration
A well-publicised line of research from MIT and others shows that 40 Hz light+sound stimulation (gamma-band) in mice reduced Alzheimer’s-related hallmarks (amyloid/tau, neuron death) and improved cognition.

The Science Behind Your “Second Heart”
Your heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through your arteries, but it gets help returning that blood back up from your legs — especially against gravity. Every time your calf muscles contract, they squeeze the deep veins in your lower legs, pushing blood upward and preventing it from pooling.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, this “calf pump” mechanism supports healthy circulation and reduces strain on the heart.

Why Strong Calves Mean a Stronger Heart
When the calf pump works efficiently:

Blood returns to the heart faster, improving oxygen delivery throughout the body.
Swelling, fatigue, and varicose veins are less likely.
The heart doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain circulation.
Research in the Journal of Biomechanics found that people with smaller or weaker calf muscles tend to have poorer heart performance and circulation efficiency.
Common Threats to Your Second Heart
Modern life works against your calf pump:

Prolonged sitting or standing lets blood pool in the legs.
Sedentary lifestyles weaken muscles that power venous return.
Dehydration and poor posture make circulation sluggish.
This is why both the American Heart Association and vascular specialists recommend frequent leg movement for overall cardiovascular wellness.
Simple Ways to Strengthen Your Second Heart
You don’t need fancy equipment — just movement:

Calf Raises: 15–20 slow reps while brushing your teeth or cooking.
Walking Breaks: Stand and walk a few minutes every hour.
Toe Lifts at Your Desk: Flex and point your feet to activate the calf pump.
Ankle Circles: Keep veins flexible, especially during travel.
Seated Heel Raises: For anyone with limited mobility or balance.
Compression socks can help, but movement is the best medicine.
Signs Your Circulation Needs Attention

Persistent leg swelling or heaviness
Pain or cramping in your calves after walking
Varicose veins or skin changes
Tingling, numbness, or cold feet
