Neurofeedback pioneer Joy Lunt, RN opens this classic NeuroNoodle Open Mic conversation with a case that still grabs your attention: a client with dissociative identity disorder whose EEG "utterly changed" mid-sessionโ"like as if somebody else was sitting in the chair." Later, Joy describes seeing the EEG of one personality look like that of a four-year-old child.
This is NeuroNoodle before today's Brain Barโthe audience-driven Open Mic format where Pete Jansons brought viewer questions directly to the panel. Joy Lunt, Jay Gunkelman, Dr. Mari Swingle, Dr. Andrew Hill, John Mekrut, Joshua Moore, Anthony Ramos and the crew move from DID and EEG patterns into depression and the salience network, neurofeedback protocols, Joy's striking experience using neurofeedback with her mother after a Parkinson's diagnosis, Parkinson's and repeated head trauma, the panel's debate over "digital Ozempic" and the brain, insomnia, exhausted kids, autism, and why hyperfocus and flow are "not even close."
๐๏ธ Panel: Joy Lunt (RN, BCN โ ISNR Past President), Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (PhD, RPsych โ Director, Swingle Clinic; author, i-Minds), Dr. Andrew Hill (neuroscientist, Peak Brain Institute), John Mekrut (The Balanced Brain; WABN President), Joshua Moore (MA, LMHC, BCN), Anthony Ramos (Science & Technology Discoveries) โ host Pete Jansons.
