Your Brain Is Lying to You | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans — and this week he and host Pete Jansons open the Brain Bar with a claim that sounds impossible: your brain is lying to you about time itself. In the experiments Jay walks through, a person's body reacts emotionally to an image seconds BEFORE a random generator has even chosen which image they'll see. From there the panel takes your live questions across the map: the anxiety medications that quietly dig a two-year hole, kids told to remove part of their brain for epilepsy who turned it around another way, what autism, ADHD and addiction secretly share on an EEG, and how your alpha rhythm changes across your whole life. Plus Joshua Moore's intro to QEEG phenotypes — and Josh's own story of beating "incurable" torticollis after Walter Reed told him he'd end up in a wheelchair. 🎙️ Panel: Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (author, iMinds), Joshua Moore (MA, LMHC, BCN), Anthony Ramos (founder, Science & Technology Discoveries) — host Pete Jansons. 🧠 WHAT WE COVER:🧠 0:00 — Cold open: beating "incurable" torticollis + welcome🤖 3:45 — Inside Neuralink: "no trials, no oversight"🩻 4:58 — Non-invasive alternatives: stentrodes & AI-chip implants🔮 6:06 — Telepathy, telekinesis & Dean Radin's precognition experiments🧪 8:51 — Real science vs. the mad scientist⚖️ 10:05 — Doing brain science the responsible way🎬 12:41 — "Mickey 17," fail-fast culture & cracking eggs🎯 16:31 — Precision psychiatry & the Peak Alpha biomarker📊 18:04 — From DSM diagnosis to treatment prediction🧩 20:16 — Brain-hacking psychiatry & the low-voltage-fast ADHD brain🌊 23:50 — Alpha-theta training for PTSD & addiction🎣 25:35 — The addiction brain, GABA & the mind that won't switch off🍺 28:07 — GABA, alcohol & the "four shots to make alpha" study💊 29:31 — The benzodiazepine trap: Klonopin, Ambien & long withdrawal🔧 33:33 — Neurotherapy for benzo withdrawal⏱️ 35:25 — Training the normal brain vs. the clinical brain🔪 36:34 — Neurofeedback vs. surgery for epilepsy🎾 37:28 — Real cases: kids who beat intractable epilepsy📉 39:52 — Low-voltage EEG & SMR training pitfalls📈 42:55 — How alpha develops over a lifetime🎚️ 50:02 — Well-tuned alpha into your 90s + the "brain barometer"🧬 51:58 — What is autism?
