Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), and host Pete Jansons for another engaging NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast episode discussing neuroscience, psychology, mental health, and brain training.✅ Topic 1 Explained: What is the “Squash” protocol (aka Nurea)? Jay revisits its late-90s origins, the idea of generalized frontal suppression, and why “gamma is good” isn’t always true in clinical contexts.✅ Topic 2 Deep Dive: Caffeine’s impact on EEG—why withdrawal can slow alpha into theta, and how dopamine deficits (e.g., fronto-central theta in ADD) fit into stimulant vs. reuptake-inhibitor choices.✅ Topic 3 Insights: Why diagnosis-based studies (OCD/PTSD) show mixed results and how organizing by EEG phenotype predicts very different responses—especially with alpha patterns vs. beta spindling.✅ Additional Topics:🎯 Sharp transients: vascular vs. irritative origins and why they’re non-specific💪 Beep feedback vs. games/Netflix—what counts is the outcome you can measure💡 Can mid-beta training make someone a “workaholic”?
