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?
