The biggest names in neurofeedback — Jay Gunkelman, Dr. Mari Swingle, Dr. Andrew Hill, Joy Lunt, Saul Rosenthal, and Anthony Ramos — join host Pete Jansons for an unscripted panel that opens with a story you won't forget: a women's prison where, the panel says, a neurofeedback program was shut down because it worked "too well." Plus criminal recidivism, the "hot cingulate," PFAS and sleep, remote neurofeedback, the one-vs-nineteen-channel debate, side effects and safety — and Joshua Moore's intro to QEEG phenotypes.
