🎙️ Autism, White Matter & EEG Patterns | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback PodcastJoin Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (author of i-Minds), and host Pete Jansons for another engaging NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast episode discussing neuroscience, psychology, mental health, and brain training.✅ Autism & Delta Waves Explained: Jay breaks down how delta activity in autism links to white matter development and myelination—why too much or too little can severely alter cortical input.✅ Abdominal Epilepsy & Insular Cortex: The hosts dive into rare seizure types, abdominal epilepsy, and how the insula is a hidden powerhouse in autonomic function, emotion regulation, and interoception.✅ EEG Endophenotypes & Psychiatric Meds: Jay and Mari discuss how EEG can predict genetic phenotypes, why many psychiatric meds backfire, and why mood changes are often a positive side effect of neurofeedback.✅ Additional Topics:Marijuana and teen brain developmentFlat EEGs, pseudo-bulbar affect, and rageDSM-5 failures and the coming shift to biomarkersMari's upcoming “Focus” app at https://swinglesonic.comJay’s October "Gunkelman’s Island" event luau: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Event & App Updates:Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps & Info: https://swinglesonic.comJay Gunkelman's Events & Info: https://suisuncitysummit.comKey Moments:0:00 0:56 Delta and Autism 5:25 White Matter and Myelination 6:53 Delta Frequency Band 11:11 Stomach Seizures / Abdominal Epilepsy 16:23 What's a Flat EEG Map? 18:35 Pseudobulbar Affect 21:44 Jay's Paper on Phenotypes https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23455512_EEG_phenotypes_predict_treatment_outcome_to_stimulants_in_children_with_ADHD 29:56 Is Global Data in an EEG a Common Marker in Autism Phenotypes? 31:55 How Often Does Jay See Cases Where Neurofeedback Helps with Moods Tied to Post-TBI Patterns 33:50 Brain Brightening 35:05 Neurofeedback Efficacy in ADHD 41:00 Why Did DSM-5 Remove Asperger’s Diagnosis? 43:15 What Will Be in DSM-6? 48:09 Suisun City Summit https://eegstrategies.com/suisun-summit-2025/ ✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!Support us on Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/NeuroNoodle✅ Enjoy the show?
