  • 🎙️ Can You Record Your Dreams? REM Sleep, PTSD & Brain Interfaces NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast
    Jun 26 2025
    Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle (author of i-Minds), and host Pete Jansons for another engaging NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast episode discussing neuroscience, psychology, mental health, and brain training.✅ Topic 1 Explained: Can You Record Your Dreams?🧠 Jay breaks down whether brainwave recordings could one day allow us to watch our dreams back—and why EEG alone still can't offer high enough resolution. He explores brain-computer interfaces, stentrodes, and Elon Musk's Neuralink challenges.✅ Topic 2 Deep Dive: PTSD, Theta Waves & Neurofeedback Risks⚠️ What happens if you suppress the wrong brainwave? Jay explains how not all theta is bad, why frontal theta can indicate trauma or ADD, and how Alpha-Theta training must be approached carefully—especially in PTSD clients.✅ Topic 3 Insights: Sleep, Memory, and Performance💤 Why sleep stages matter: from REM dream replay to slow-wave recovery. Jay explains how elite performance (in sports, life, or podcasting!) relies on proper sleep architecture, SMR training, and avoiding sleep-spindle disruption.✅ Additional Topics:🧠 Stentrodes & brain interface tech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stent-e...📡 Micro-amps & nano-antennas: https://engineering.wisc.edu/news/wir...🧬 Male vs Female brain differences & communication styles🧩 Corpus callosum structures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_...🌴 Suisun Summit (Gunkelman's Island): https://eegstrategies.com/suisun-summ...📘 Alpha-Theta Training Handbook: https://www.bmedpress.com/shop/alpha-...✅ Event & App Updates:📱 Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps & Info: https://swinglesonic.com🧓 Jay Gunkelman's Events & Info: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!Support us on Patreon 👉 / neuronoodle ✅ Enjoy the show?
