Ancient traditions meets modern technology.

NEW BERN, NC, November 08, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — BrainTap, a pioneering neuroscience research institute, is elated to announce that a team of its esteemed researchers with AIIMS in Bhopal has been recognized with the “INTERNATIONAL BEST RESEARCHER AWARD” at the prestigious ISSN International Research Awards 2023. The accolade, which was formally bestowed in a ceremony on May 7th, 2023, at Grandeur Hall, Breeze Residency, celebrates the cutting-edge research conducted by the AIIMS Bhopal team into the neurological and autonomic responses to kapalbhati pranayama in yoga practitioners.

Varun Malhotra, Danish Javed, Santosh Wakode, Rajay Bharshankar, Neha Soni, and Patrick K. Porter, the recipients of this international distinction, have delivered remarkable insights into the intersection of neurology and traditional yogic practices through their study, “Study of immediate neurological and autonomic changes during kapalbhati pranayama in yoga practitioners.”

Their research paper has earned them the “INTERNATIONAL BEST RESEARCHER AWARD” for its outstanding contribution to the field of neuroscience, highlighting the immediate physiological effects induced by the yogic technique known as kapalbhati pranayama. This breathing method, traditionally utilized in yogic practices, has been observed to instigate significant shifts in the autonomic nervous system, suggesting potential applications in improving overall health and well-being.

BrainTap’s dedication to exploring the frontiers of neuroscience with an integrative approach aligns seamlessly with the ethos of the ISSN International Research Awards, which aims to recognize and foster scientific innovation and collaboration across the globe.

“We are deeply honored by this recognition from the prestigious ISSN International Research Awards,” said BrainTap’s Co-CEO, Jonathan Block. “This award underscores our commitment to not only understanding the brain’s complex workings but also exploring how ancient practices can intersect with modern science to benefit human health,” said Jonathan Block from BrainTap, Co-CEO.
