🎙️ Art vs Science in Neurofeedback, AI Risks, and Pattern Recognition | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback PodcastJoin Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (500,000+ brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle, author of i-Minds, and host Pete Jansons for a mind-bending debate on art vs science in neurofeedback, AI overreach in EEG, and why pattern recognition is the true genius.✅ Topic 1 Explained: Art vs Science — Is Neurofeedback an Art or a Science?Science = math & patterns (Jay: "QEEG is linear algebra")Art = clinical delivery (rapport, coaching, human connection)Conclusion: Higher science is art — successful practice of knowledgeJay: "AI OCR for EEG = false positives. Needs expert oversight."Risk: Overreliance = misdiagnosis, no predictive validityFix: Use AI for data dump, human art for interpretationAll arts/sciences = patterns (music, dance, EEG, therapy)School systems wrong: Cutting arts = cutting brain trainingSci-fi predicts invention — imagination drives progress✅ Topic 2 Deep Dive: AI in EEG — Genius or Gimmick?✅ Topic 3 Insights: Pattern Recognition = Wisdom✅ Additional Topics:🎯 "Treasure Chest" rewards for squirmy kids — behavioral EEG hacks🎯 Corey Hammond study: Human presence = better outcomes🎯 Isabella’s epilepsy recovery at Suisun Summit🎯 Peptides, nutrition, and EEG (Michael Pierce return?)🎯 Student grants via Suisun recordings🕒 Key Moments:0:00 Welcome + Jay’s 25-year-old EEG puzzle t-shirt0:34 Jay not satisfied with AI EEG OCR3:07 Q&A Recap: Art vs Science in Neurofeedback https://youtube.com/live/Eg_KLBc8Gi4?...6:27 What is the Art of Neurofeedback?7:40 PCA vs ICA — Gaussian vs non-Gaussian artifact removal13:04 Pattern Recognition on EEGs — art or science?15:14 Art and science in Psychology18:57 DSM 5 — Art or Science?19:28 Squirmy kids & good EEG training22:22 Treasure Chest rewards24:01 John Anderson Show Link    • John S. Anderson - The Thalamus, Coma's, a...  24:06 Neurofeedback: Training or Treatment?28:05 Angelika & Mitch Sader — Northeast Regional Biofeedback Society    • Learn About The Northeast Region Biofeedba...   | https://braininstitute.com.au/Angelik...29:01 Application of frequency in medical practice31:40 Should tech hide training scores?34:45 Suisun Summit Recordings https://eegstrategies.com/suisun-summ...37:10 Isabella’s epilepsy recovery story37:58 AI Therapist and accountability38:14 Peptides & EEG effects39:05 Michael Pierce nutrition return✅ Event & App Updates:Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps: https://swinglesonic.comJay Gunkelman's Events: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Help us keep NeuroNoodle going!
