    FEB 12

    SMR Deep Dive: Sterman's Cats to ADHD, Epilepsy & Sleep | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

    Join EEG legend Jay Gunkelman (500,000+ brain scans read) and host Pete Jansons for a thorough exploration of Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) — the calming, stabilizing brainwave discovered by Barry Sterman.From cats trained on SMR that resisted toxic rocket fuel seizures (NASA origins) to modern uses in ADHD, epilepsy, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and arousal regulation — this episode breaks down the science, circuits, and clinical realities.✅ Key Topics Covered:Barry Sterman’s breakthrough: SMR-trained cats survived rocket fuel doses that caused vomiting, panting, salivating, and seizures in controls (ruined the dose-response curve)Brain circuitry: Thalamus (ventroposterior lateral nucleus) + reticular nucleus (acetylcholine bursts) → sensory-motor cortex feedback → red nucleus quieting → muscle spindle relaxationSMR as daytime "sleep spindle": Stabilizes red nucleus (Parkinsonism target), cuts sympathetic drive, deeper muscle relaxation, reduces sensory feedback to thalamusBenefits: Epilepsy stabilization, fibromyalgia (quiets sympathetic input to red nucleus), ADHD clusters (excess theta/alpha, beta compensation), arousal-performance curve centeringRisks: Overtraining SMR drops arousal too far → underarousal/grogginess/rebound giddiness (like kids pre-bedtime); counter with anterior beta (17Hz functional beta on tasks)Arousal-performance: SMR = brakes (calms overarousal); beta = accelerator (fixes underarousal); no fixed sessions (10 for mild insomnia, 24+ for severe)ADHD insights: Frontal suppressor strip → caudate/putamen/globus pallidus/thalamus loop (excess GABA inhibition); beta magnitude increases (more events, not amplitude)🕒 Timestamps / Key Moments:0:00 Welcome to NeuroNoodle + Pete & Jay chat (sunny day, Florida snow)2:04 Confusion on the live chat about SMR2:30 SMR Barry Sterman Screen share and clip    • Barry Sterman's Research on Epilepsy  4:10 Jay Gunkelman screen share on Barry Sterman circa 20008:07 Parkinsonism9:30 Fibromyalgia10:52 Arousal Performance26:10 Sleep Spindle29:31 Can you Over train SMR31:45 Insomnia studies (Salsburg/Graz: 10 sessions mild; 24+ severe/athletes)33:43 School of Neurotherapy free monthly talks (Jay's beta talk on 27th)34:50 Jay hydration wrap-up✅ Updates & Links:Jay Gunkelman's Suisun Summit: https://suisuncitysummit.com (2023 up, 4/5 coming)School of Neurotherapy (Tiff Thompson, Nick Dogris): Free monthly talks, register for invitesJoshua Moore (Alternative Behavioral Therapy): QEEG phenotypes workshop (85% mental health gains with phenotype-matched meds)Help keep NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast going!Support on Patreon 👉   / neuronoodle  Like, subscribe, share & hit the bell 🔔 for weekly episodes.LIVE Q&A every Wednesday 6 PM CST | 4 PM PST | 7 PM EST#NeuroNoodle #NeurofeedbackTherapyPodcast #Neurofeedback #SMR #JayGunkelman #PeteJansons #EEG #BarrySterman #ADHD #Epilepsy #Sleep #BrainHealth #MentalHealth #QEEG

    🎙️ Scope of Practice, Obesity Epidemic & QEEG Phenotypes | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast

    Join Dr. Mari Swingle, author of i-Minds, Joshua Moore, Anthony Moore, John Mekrut, and host Pete Jansons for an intimate, small-group discussion on neurofeedback scope challenges, the brain science behind obesity, and revolutionary QEEG phenotyping.✅ Scope of Practice Explained: Neurofeedback providers and neurologists often clash over EEG interpretation—neurologists prioritize seizures while neurotherapists catch subtle patterns linked to mental health; the group calls for mutual respect, better cross-training, and stopping discipline-bashing.✅ Obesity Epidemic Deep Dive: Obesity is multifactorial with strong brain ties—frontal slowing on EEG (mirroring ADHD/addiction phenotypes), trauma (ACEs), sedentary behavior, and mindless eating; fidgeting burns 800–2000 extra calories daily, while drugs like Ozempic help weight but skip behavioral roots.✅ QEEG Phenotypes Insights: Joshua Moore breaks down personalizing neurofeedback and medication via individual EEG phenotypes—up to 85% mental health improvement when meds match brain patterns vs. symptom-only prescribing.✅ Additional Topics:🎯 Neurologists missing subclinical epileptic discharges🎯 Trauma as core driver of obesity and addiction🎯 Nature study linking obesity to frontal delta/theta slowing🎯 Fidgeting and subtle movement for calorie burn🎯 Ozempic/semaglutide impact on behavior modification🎯 Information overload, perfectionism, and “brain gluttony”🎯 Cell phone bans in schools—restriction vs. responsibility teachingKey Moments:[00:00] — Welcome + Patreon shoutout[00:54] — Banter: SpaceX, Elon/Twitter, baseball Ohtani hype[05:07] — Dr. Mari Swingle joins the discussion[05:30] — Scope of practice debate begins: neurologists vs. neurotherapists[07:44] — Call to stop criticizing other disciplines[10:51] — Real-world referral dilemmas with subtle EEG findings[44:09] — Fidgeting studies and calorie burn in thinner people[45:00] — Ozempic/semaglutide debate[47:48] — Obesity reframed as trauma epidemic (ACEs)[49:13] — Obesity correlated with frontal slowing (Nature paper)[51:52] — Neurofeedback as optimal long-term brain regulation[56:51] — “Brain gluttony” and handling information overload[58:08] — Joshua Moore teaser: QEEG phenotypes intro + 85% improvement stat✅ Event & App Updates:Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps & Info: https://swinglesonic.comJay Gunkelman's Events & Info: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!Support us on Patreon 👉   / neuronoodle  ✅ Enjoy the show?
