• BCIA Says Wrong, Neurology Says Right: Jay Cold-Reads 50yo Brain
    2026/04/30

    BCIA would mark this EEG wrong — Jay Gunkelman calls it vascular ischemia anyway. Jay goes in **blind** — no diagnosis, no report — and disagrees with Joshua's TBI read on the exact same 50-year-old EEG. Joshua reviewed it live on The Brain Bar the night before. The next day on Thursday Carnac, Jay cold-reads the slow alpha at PZ, lands on hyperbaric + 40 Hz photobiomodulation, and shows how neurofeedback fits into the treatment plan. Read the brain, treatment follows the brain. The story doesn't matter. 👉 Watch the Brain Bar episode where Joshua reviewed this same EEG: https://youtube.com/live/tUryp2Deu2A?feature=share 🧠 WHAT WE COVER:🎤 0:00 — BCIA Says Wrong, Neurology Says Right (cold open)🎯 3:15 — BCIA would mark this wrong, neurology calls it his alpha🧒 4:18 — A 50-year-old should not have a 3-year-old's frequency tuning🌀 5:30 — Left temporal persistence vs right temporal bursts😴 6:56 — CZ beta as an insomnia marker💤 7:20 — Stage one drowsiness: alpha dropout and resurgent burst🌈 8:29 — Adding color: alpha peak sits just outside band at 7.81 Hz🧮 9:01 — Slow alpha = semantic and declarative memory not optimized🔥 10:31 — Hypercoherence at 0.6: regulatory issues up front👤 11:51 — Connecting technical to human: what does this patient deal with daily?🧓 12:16 — Mild cognitive impairment expected — not surprising📉 12:33 — PZ alpha predicts rate of cognitive decline 2 years out💡 13:07 — Photobiomodulation, red light, 10 Hz at the back of the head🩸 13:45 — 13 Hz temporals, 15 Hz frontal: gentle perfusion for ischemia👴 14:53 — Jay at 76 has a 12 Hz alpha — this 50yo near 7.8 is severe📡 15:11 — Your alpha frequency IS your sample rate of the world🔧 15:46 — This brain needs a major tune-up before it needs a rebuild🎓 21:42 — Joshua said severe TBI post-concussion syndrome⚖️ 21:56 — Jay's call: vascular ischemia, not necessarily TBI🧪 22:14 — Doesn't matter for the treatment — ischemia is ischemia🛌 22:46 — Get him sleeping better first, then SMR/beta balance🧠 23:34 — CZ-C4-PZ for brain brightening at the alpha hub🏥 24:39 — This one is a really good candidate for hyperbaric💡 26:20 — 40 Hz photobiomodulation: boosts mitochondria🛡️ 26:53 — Strong assistance avoiding cognitive decline at the precipice🩺 28:06 — What does a loved one do tomorrow morning if they get this EEG?🎯 31:50 — Read the brain, treatment follows the brain — the whole method🏈 32:54 — NFL draft tonight: do you watch football differently now?👊 33:48 — Subconcussive blows: linemen, CTE summing up over years🥊 36:53 — Fencing pose: ding the brainstem, MMA knockouts at 80%🌱 39:01 — How many people have OD'd on marijuana?

  • God Doesn't Roll Dice: Jay Finds the Right Side | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast
    2026/04/23

    Jay Gunkelman goes in BLIND — no diagnosis, no report, no hints. Just the EEG that Joshua Moore reviewed live with the panel on The Brain Bar. The next day on Thursday Carnac, Jay cold-reads the same 58-year-old female and finds a 45-degree diagonal line running from her left frontal cortex to her right posterior — the classic geometric signature of a coup-contra-coup injury. Plus a right temporal spike, left frontal alpha hyper-coherence, and Davidson's depressed mood signature. After half a million EEGs, the patterns reach out and grab you. The reveal? Depressed female with a history of a right-side head knock. Jay called it from the waveform alone.👉 Watch the Brain Bar episode where Joshua reviewed this same EEG: https://youtube.com/live/tUryp2Deu2A?feature=share🧠 WHAT WE COVER:🎙️ 0:54 — Good morning Jake Gunkelman, or should I say Carnac?🔍 2:02 — Case five: a 58-year-old female, that's all Jay knows🧠 2:57 — Anterior cingulate beta: the salience network is active and focused⚡ 4:48 — The rhythm is left frontally but not right frontally🎯 8:14 — Sharp transient right temporal: real signal, field surrounds it, it repeats❓ 9:09 — Can Jay tell male vs female from EEG alone?

  • The Mind Rewired: Cohen + Jay on Trauma, PTSD & Insomnia | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast
    2026/04/09
    On April 1st, Joshua Moore brought an anonymized EEG to the Brain Bar. The panel read it live. Then they sent it to Jay Gunkelman — blind. He had no idea what they said. This is what Jay found. Beta spindling at CZ. A wakefulness drive that makes sleep nearly impossible. PTSD signals hiding in the right temporal lobe. Dissociative patterns in the anterior insula. Dr. Michael Cohen, author of The Mind Rewired, joins live to watch Jay work — and connects every finding to 25 real stories of people who changed their brains and changed their lives. 🧠 Panel: Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans), Dr. Michael Cohen (Center for Brain Training), Pete Jansons (host)📺 Watch the Brain Bar read this EEG first: https://youtube.com/live/YJk6skHP9WA?... 🎯 What You'll Learn:🔬 Why beta spindling at CZ is a wakefulness drive that makes sleep nearly impossible🧬 How the salience network becomes a distress network — and what that means for trauma😰 Why "it's all in your head" is actually true — and how the EEG proves it📖 Why Cohen wrote The Mind Rewired without the word "neurofeedback" in the title🤖 Why AI currently earns a C-minus on EEG interpretation💤 How SMR, HRV, and alpha-theta work together to crack chronic insomnia🪖 Why Jay woke up 27 of 33 comatose soldiers — and why he stopped ⏱️ Timestamps / Key Moments:🧠 0:00 Intro — Jay gets recognized by the QEEG board🪖 2:12 27 out of 33 soldiers brought back from coma — and why Jay stopped🎙️ 5:01 Setting the table — Jay reads the Brain Bar's EEG blind, Cohen joins⚡ 6:23 Beta spindling spotted immediately — eyes open EEG read begins💤 10:41 CZ beta = wakefulness drive = can't sleep, can't stay asleep🧠 13:25 Beta spindling + fast alpha — stood in the wrong line twice😰 33:29 Anterior insula right side — dissociative PTSD signal found📖 38:38 Why Cohen wrote The Mind Rewired without "neurofeedback" in the title😭 41:11 "It's in your head — and it IS in your head" — patients cry when they see the EEG🤖 55:25 AI gets a C-minus on EEG reads — what it's missing📚 57:26 The Mind Rewired on Amazon — $2.95 Kindle, 900 books in 2 months💊 59:46 Jay's protocol: SMR → HRV → alpha-theta — how to fix this specific brain🌬️ 1:02:46 Breathing, carbon dioxide, and the EEG — the carbohaler explained 🔗 Updates & Links:📺 Watch the Brain Bar read this EEG first (4/1/26): https://youtube.com/live/YJk6skHP9WA?...📖 The Mind Rewired by Dr. Michael Cohen (Amazon Kindle $2.95): https://a.co/d/0iIF0p4C🏢 Center for Brain Training — Dr. Michael Cohen: https://www.centerforbrain.com/about/...🎵 The Mind Rewired (Album): https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Rj0d...🎵 Beta Spindle Release (Album): https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Rj0d...🎙️ Jay Gunkelman — Suisun Summit: https://suisuncitysummit.com🏫 School of Neurotherapy: https://www.schoolofneurotherapy.com/... 🤝 Help keep NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast going!👉 Support on Patreon: / neuronoodle 🔔 Like, subscribe, share & hit the bell for weekly episodes🧠 The Brain Bar — LIVE every Wednesday 6 PM CST | 4 PM PST | 7 PM EST #NeuroNoodle #NeurofeedbackTherapyPodcast #Neurofeedback #JayGunkelman #PeteJansons #EEG #QEEG #BrainMapping #MentalHealth #BrainHealth #Neurotherapy #MichaelCohen #TheMindRewired #BetaSpindling #Insomnia #PTSD #Trauma #Anxiety #Autism #BrainTraining #NeurofeedbackForSleep

  • Our Field Has Never Done a Single Head To Head Comparison" | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy
    2026/04/08

    Joy Lunt drops a bombshell — the neurofeedback field has never done a single head to head comparison of its own approaches.

    "Our field has never in any way shape or form done any head to head comparison."

    So what kind of neurofeedback are you actually getting?

  • If You Flash a Light at the Cortex, the Brain Follows It" | Jay Gunkelman | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy
    2026/04/06

    Jay Gunkelman — the man who has read over 500,000 brain scans — breaks down exactly what photobiomodulation does to your brain.

    "If you flash a light at the cortex, the brain follows it."

    Flash at 10 hertz, you get 10. Flash slightly faster and you can gently shift brainwave frequencies in areas with low perfusion.
