Ever wondered how hallucinogens like Salvia Divinorum affect the brain? In this episode, Neurofeedback legend Jay Gunkelman shares insights from a groundbreaking EEG study that captured 10-second, 1000-microvolt brain waves during a live altered state experiment. We also dive deep into the neurochemistry of consciousness, the science of near-death experiences, and why EEG analysis needs an upgrade. Plus, what does modern neuroscience say about autism, epileptiform content, and brain feedback loops?🎙️ Hosts:✅ Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD – The man who has read over 500,000 brain scans✅ Pete Jansons – Your host and guide through all things neurofeedback🔍 Topics Discussed:✅ The effects of Salvia Divinorum on consciousness and EEG✅ 10-second, 1000-microvolt waves – What do they tell us?✅ The hallucinogenic experience & EEG readings from a live ISNR session✅ Neurochemistry of altered states and their impact on awareness✅ EEG activity in near-death experiences and brain death✅ Autism & Epileptiform Content – Why neurologists may be missing critical treatment options✅ The fourth dimension, time, and the illusion of feedback✅ Wavelets vs. Fourier Analysis – Why traditional EEG analysis needs an upgrade✅ The fascinating history of EEG pioneers beyond Hans BergerKey Moments:0:00 Welcome2:00 Consciousness4:05 John DeLuca https://kesslerfoundation.org/aboutus... – Jay Gunkelman screen share4:25 Rating scale for how high you are4:38 Level 1 Hallucination – Subtle effects4:55 Level 2A – Things change6:12 Level 3 – Close eyes, fractal patterns, etc.6:42 Level 4 – Instead of eye candy, you go into an altered state (3D)7:50 Level 5 – You cease to exist8:56 Level 6 – Loss of consciousness, amnesia9:37 Salvia Divinorum14:25 Summary of experience21:13 When the brain dies electrically22:40 Alpha-Theta coma23:20 Burst suppression and brain death26:40 Does a brain wave ever end?27:18 Mu Waves30:29 Heinrich Hertz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinric...31:07 Richard Caton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard...31:40 Hans Berger clip32:48 Gibbs and Gibbs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederi...33:45 Can non-verbal autistic kids communicate telepathically?38:03 Suisun City https://publish.obsidian.md/suisunsum...38:53 Leigh Steinberg39:30 Santiago Brand💡 Support the Show!✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!
