🎙️ Delta Deep Dive, Alpha Speed, AI EEG Fails | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback PodcastJay Gunkelman QEEGD (500,000+ brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (i-Minds), and host Pete Jansons unpack:Why delta isn’t one thing — slow cortical potentials, neural networks, sleep, pathologyAlpha speed = brain health — fast vs slow phenotypes, memory, dementia riskAI EEG OCR = disaster — predefined bands miss real peaks (mid-30s gamma?)✅ Topic 1: Delta — Not Just “Slow”Slow cortical potentials (SCP) = on/off control (epilepsy, attention, depression)Delta rhythm = lack of input (sleep, autism, white matter injury)Neurofeedback sculpts white matter (Mario Beauregard, NIH autism DTI)Jay: “Train delta up and down — then decide”✅ Topic 2: Alpha Speed = Phenotype PowerFast alpha = ↑ norepinephrine, ↑ memory (Kleimisch lab)Slow alpha = protect vs dementia, but poor semantic recallBrain brightening: Individual Alpha Frequency +1 Hz → better cognitionAmphetamines? Only if beta spindles absent — else “pop a kit”✅ Topic 3: AI EEG = Predefined Band TrapJay: “AI looks for gamma at 44 Hz — misses 35 Hz peak”Beta ≠ Beta: 17 Hz (motor intent), 20s (hyperactivity), 30s (command voices)Dr. Mari: “Uptraining beta without specificity = clinical harm”🎯 Bonus Gold:Auto-thresholding = lazy — defeats operant conditioning (Barry Sterman ghost nods)Learning curves matter — Jim Hart’s 3.5-hour alpha bingeSuisun Summit 2025 — Isabella’s epilepsy recovery, Lisa Berardino’s family dynamicsStudent grants via recordings — Jay’s beard on the line ($5K bid incoming)🕒 Key Moments:0:00 Welcome 0:58 Delta Waves — SCP, oxygenation, white matter1:58 Delta Rhythm — sleep, autism, trauma9:13 Why would you train up Delta?
