Dr. Giancarlo Licata is the Founder and Director of Vital Brain Health, a Los Angeles–based center specializing in evidence-based neurofeedback and applied neuroscience. Having supported thousands of clients with chronic pain, migraines, and post‒concussion challenges, he specializes in EEG, qEEG, and functional neurology. Dr. Licata also speaks about anxiety, autism, sleep, and ADHD on national health and wellness podcasts.  In this episode… Many business leaders work hard to improve performance through enhanced tools, systems, and habits, yet still face burnout, poor focus, and mental fatigue. Despite their efforts, their ability to make clear decisions or stay consistent often declines as pressure increases. How does brain function impact decision-making and performance? According to neurofeedback and brain mapping expert Dr. Giancarlo Licata, professionals can improve mental performance by targeting brain activity. He recommends starting with a brain map to identify which regions are overworked or underperforming, then using neurofeedback to retrain those areas through short, focused sessions. Dr. Licata also emphasizes daily practices that protect and strengthen brain function — such as consistent sleep, focused breathing, limiting overstimulation from technology, and recognizing when anxiety is reducing focus. By addressing brain performance, leaders can make clearer decisions, sustain attention longer, and reduce stress without relying solely on external systems or tools. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris talks with Dr. Giancarlo Licata, Founder and Director of Vital Brain Health, about how brain mapping and neurofeedback improve performance. Dr. Licata explains how brain scans uncover hidden issues behind focus problems, how personalized training rewires neural pathways for lasting results, and how modern habits and AI tools can strengthen or weaken brain function.

Hello nerds.When I first started interviewing Scott Santens years ago during the Nerds for Yang era, he was one of the most relentless and articulate advocates for universal basic income (UBI) in America. Back then, it felt like the country was on the verge of something big. Andrew Yang was on the debate stage making “Freedom Dividend” a household phrase. Silicon Valley technologists were whispering about automation in the same breath as moral responsibility. Even Republican voters were entertaining the idea that direct cash transfers might be less bureaucratic and more empowering than sprawling social programs.Fast forward to 2025, and the conversation feels quieter. The pandemic-era stimulus checks are long gone. Washington has reverted to tribal warfare. Meanwhile, AI is advancing faster than anyone—maybe even Scott and Andrew —predicted. The irony is thick: the very forces that made UBI seem like a radical idea a decade ago are now transforming entire industries before our eyes. And yet, the movement feels stuck in neutral.So when Scott rejoined me on Nerds for Humanity this month from his new base in Washington, D.C., I wanted to know: What happened? Why did UBI lose its moment? And is there a realistic path back to the mainstream before millions of Americans get left behind?The Move to D.C. and the Lost MomentScott began by explaining why he left New Orleans for D.C. a few years ago. “It just seemed that UBI was really a bigger part of the conversation,” he said. “I thought if the Democrats came in again in 2024, I could actually get some traction.”He laughs a little when he says that now. “That didn't end up happening,” he admitted, reflecting on how the Biden reelection froze the kind of idea competition that defined 2020. “The big problem was that Biden decided to run again, and there was no primary process. Then suddenly Kamala comes in and still no primary process. So there was no ideas competition. We really missed out on that.”That lack of competition, Scott argues, has a ripple effect. Political movements thrive on moments of contrast, when new ideas bump up against old dogmas and voters are forced to re-evaluate assumptions. The 2020 race—with Yang, Sanders, Warren, and others pitching structural reforms—was one of those rare idea-rich moments. 2024, by comparison, was a desert.As Scott put it bluntly: “We were close enough to taste it during the pandemic. It really felt like we were actually on the cusp of doing a monthly cash payment that could change things. But none of that happened.”He's not wrong. The COVID checks were, in effect, a large-scale experiment in direct income support. Poverty temporarily plummeted. Families caught their breath. Consumer demand stayed strong. And then we let it all expire.AI Ate the Jobs While America SleptWhat's striking about this quiet period, as I noted to Scott, is that the threat he and Yang warned about—the automation of work—is no longer hypothetical. Knowledge worker jobs are being eaten by AI faster than policy debates can catch up.“I'm a parent of two teenagers,” I told him. “Other parents are starting to wonder if a computer science degree is still the golden ticket. Should we be preparing our kids to be plumbers instead?”Scott nodded grimly. “It's disheartening,” he said. “Now that these impacts are here… this is the stuff that we've been warning about. It's not a sudden thing, but it does seem to already be impacting the entry-level job market.”He pointed to a convergence of pressures: corporate hiring freezes driven by uncertainty around tariffs, companies experimenting with AI productivity tools, and executives under shareholder pressure to “do more with less.” The result: stagnating headcount even in high-growth sectors.“We don't really need people that we likely would have if AI had not been introduced,” he said. I observed from Silicon Valley, “What we're seeing right now is that companies can grow revenue while keeping headcount flat.”It's not a collapse. It's a quiet deceleration—a slow bleed. And that's arguably more dangerous because it doesn't provoke a policy response. There's no headline-grabbing “AI layoffs.” Just the invisible absence of opportunities for millions of new grads.Even top business schools are struggling to place students. “It's like the hardest market in years,” Scott said, and I agreed. “If we hit a recession,” he warned, “that's when all these businesses really lean into productivity. The recession ends, and they realize they don't need those people back.”That scenario—automation accelerated by economic downturn—is the nightmare UBI advocates have been predicting for over a decade. Each downturn becomes a ratchet that permanently eliminates another layer of middle-class work.The Automation MirageWhen politicians talk about “bringing manufacturing jobs back,” Scott and I get visibly frustrated. “I don't think people realize—you don't need that many people in those factories anymore,” I said.He reminded me of a chart he once published showing that U.S. manufacturing output is higher than ever, even though manufacturing employment has fallen dramatically. “We're manufacturing more than ever, we just have fewer jobs,” he said. “If we did reshoring, sure, we could manufacture even more, but jobs would continue going down.”I brought up a U.S. tech investor who recently toured Chinese EV plants. “He said the number of BYD employees per car is something like a fifth of what it is for Ford or GM,” I told Scott. “If we build plants here, we're not going to hire 20 people per car—we'll hire four or five.”Scott didn't hesitate: “Exactly. The only way to bring it back is to minimize labor. American labor is expensive. You can't both re-shore and keep the same job intensity.”Then he pivoted to a deeper critique of political dishonesty. “Trump sold a lot of people false hope,” he said. “He told them, ‘Once I negotiate these trade deals, everything's gonna be back to post–World War II full employment.' But that's a lie. We've heard that lie over and over again, even from people in the AI world. They say this will create more jobs than it displaces. Come on. We all know the realities.”This is the paradox of modern capitalism: productivity growth has decoupled from employment growth. We make more stuff with fewer people. And our political imagination hasn't caught up to that new reality.From Careers to Gigs: The New NormalScott traced this shift back decades. “We know what happened when we displaced people from manufacturing jobs—they went lower down the ladder into lower-paying work,” he said. “You went from careers to gig labor.”He rattled off examples that have become painfully familiar: “People now earn extra money by signing up for Uber, delivering food, DoorDashing. There's just a transformation of what employment even means.”In Scott's view, the only logical response to this is UBI. “You need to make sure everyone actually gets basic income,” he said. “That helps feed demand for new jobs. If people's incomes fall as a result of AI, demand falls. And when demand falls, the entire economy reorients.”He pointed to a staggering statistic: “Right now, the top 10% are buying half of everything produced and sold in the U.S. It's a very unequal consumption economy. The markets start ignoring the basic needs of people and reorient around luxury experiences.”That imbalance, he argued, isn't just economic—it's political. “It leads to people getting violent. It's key to the erosion of democracy.”The Coming Middle-Class AwakeningIf there's any silver lining, I said, it's that the pain is spreading up the income ladder.“I think it's going to affect a lot of middle-class and upper-middle-class people in a way it hasn't before,” I said. “When Andrew talked about truck drivers losing jobs, people thought, ‘My kid's going to college, they'll be fine.' Now they're realizing maybe not.”Scott agreed. “We just didn't realize how fast it would hit arts, music, images, and photos. I didn't think about that. It took me by surprise.”I added, “When he said doctors and lawyers, it felt far away. Now you're like—oh s**t—that's happening right now.”He laughed and I added more examples. “People are winning court cases using ChatGPT as their attorney. And with tools like Sora and Grok Imagine, you can generate realistic videos and images instantly. There's no ground truth anymore.”That last point hits hard. “You just give people a reason to doubt it,” Scott said. “You can have fake security cam footage of Sam Altman stealing something, and people will believe it. Or you can have real footage of Trump doing something, and people won't.”When truth itself becomes negotiable, democracy can't function. Evidence is the oxygen of public accountability. Once it's gone, all we have left are teams—and team loyalty.The Tariff FantasyThat team loyalty came up again when I told Scott about a debate I'd had with a MAGA relative in Florida. My brother argued that Trump's tariffs would pay for his tax cuts. Scott immediately laughed. “Even assuming that were true—which it's not—you're still taxing the working and middle class to pay for tax cuts for the rich,” he said.He broke it down simply: “It doesn't make any sense to say, ‘Tariff revenue will cover it.' Who covers the tariff revenue? It's the consumers. And yet people believe it.”Scott sees this as part of the broader epistemic collapse—people believing “whatever their team is saying,” no matter how illogical. “It's impressive in some ways,” I said. “You can propose policies that hurt your base and they'll cheer you for it.” He nodded. “Yeah. It's really frustrating.”UBI Research: Misunderstood and MisreportedI asked Scott about recent UBI research that some media outlets described as “disappointing.” His response was both sharp and nuanced.“Those weren't negative results,” he said. “They were null results.” He walked me through three often-cited studies: Baby's First Years, the Denver Homeless Pilot, and Sam Altman's Worldcoin/Overture experiment.“The key is to understand what's being tested,” he explained. “These weren't saturation pilots. They gave money to small groups of individuals. But real universal basic income changes communities. It creates new demand, new jobs, new dynamics.”He contrasted these with the Alaska Permanent Fund, which distributes oil dividends to every state resident annually. “In Alaska, we saw an overall increase in employment due to the dividend,” he said. “Some people worked less, but the spending created new jobs.”That's the essence of his argument: if you only study individuals, you miss the macro effects.He was especially skeptical of the way media covered the Baby's First Years study, which found no measurable difference in children's brain development after four years of $333 monthly payments. “That's a null result, not a failure,” Scott said. “It doesn't mean UBI doesn't work. It just means we didn't see differences yet. Impacts often show up later in life.”He also noted that measuring brain development via EEG scans is an odd and narrow metric. “Maybe families were happier. Maybe they bought what they needed. That still matters.”The Secret Study and New FrontiersScott hinted that a major new study is underway. “There's a study I can't talk about,” he said, smiling, “but it's looking at something no other experiment has looked at. I'm excited for those results.”He also mentioned Jeff Atwood (co-founder of Stack Overflow) is funding a $50 million set of county-level pilots, focusing on rural areas. “That's exciting,” Scott said. “It's a different political slice, and it's potentially saturation-like.”Globally, he's watching Thailand closely. “They announced they were going to do a negative income tax starting in 2027,” he said. “If that happens, they'd be the first country in the world to have a basic income guarantee. It could reduce poverty by over 90%.”Then he sighed. “But the day after they announced it, their prime minister got fired. So who knows.”ITSA Foundation: Building UBI From the Ground UpScott's not just theorizing anymore. His ITSA Foundation is taking action with two ambitious projects launching next year.First, the Bootstraps documentary series, which follows families receiving a basic income to humanize the policy through storytelling. “Storytelling is key,” he said. “People need to feel it, not just read data.”Second, the Comingle app, which will create what he calls “a small basic income floor of around $50 per week without waiting for government.”“You can create it yourself, through community pooling,” he said. “If Bill Gates joined Comingle and put 7% of his income in, everyone's income would go up. Don't worry about him getting $50 a week—everyone benefits.”It's the kind of practical experimentation the movement needs: bottom-up systems proving that shared prosperity can be engineered today, not someday.Reflections: The Hard Politics of Intelligent ReformAfter the interview ended, I stayed live on the stream to share a few personal reflections—some of them, frankly, tinged with frustration.I told my audience that I'm a believer in two three-letter acronyms: UBI and RCV (ranked choice voting). I have conviction that both are essential for a healthier democracy and a fairer economy. Yet it's maddening how little traction they get compared to what dominates our discourse.This morning, I argued politics with another MAGA acquaintance on WhatsApp. He was fired up about “the trans agenda” and “illegals.” When I asked what he thought about RCV or UBI, he admitted he didn't know what they were.And that, I said, is the tragedy. Many voters are animated by cultural wedge issues that barely affect their lives, while transformative structural reforms barely register. People will march for hours over trans athletes, but not over gerrymandering, open primaries, or the collapse of middle-class livelihoods.Maybe that's why Scott is investing in storytelling. “You have to boil this down into a bumper sticker,” I said. “Or a story.” Policy briefs won't cut through a media ecosystem optimized for outrage.It's sobering to realize how little energy we allocate to existential issues—like the sustainability of democracy or the viability of a middle-class life in an AI-driven economy—compared to the performative culture wars that dominate cable news.A Political System Addicted to DistractionI sometimes wonder if America is capable of solving long-term problems anymore. We have the tools and the talent, but not the attention span.We obsess over symbolic fights while the foundations rot. Closed primaries keep extremists in power. Gerrymandered districts ensure incumbents never lose. The electoral incentives all point toward division, not solutions.UBI and RCV are, in many ways, tests of whether we can think systemically again—about incentives, about fairness, about the structural forces shaping our future. And right now, the answer seems to be: not yet.As I told my audience, “It's sad that people will march for red-meat issues where government isn't even the decisive actor, while ignoring how broken the system itself has become.”The AI asteroid is heading straight for us. Millions of jobs—white-collar jobs—are on the chopping block. And neither party is talking seriously about it. Not Trump, not Schumer, not Newsom. Maybe Andrew Yang. Maybe Buttigieg. Maybe Bernie. But as a national conversation? Crickets.What's Next: Awakening or DenialMy optimism, if you can call it that, lies in inevitability. The pain will broaden until reform becomes unavoidable. Middle-class professionals will begin to experience the same precarity that working-class Americans have faced for decades.The good news is that when comfortable people get uncomfortable, politics shifts. The bad news is that it often takes crisis to get there.UBI isn't charity. It's infrastructure for an economy that no longer guarantees stability through employment. It's the plumbing of a post-industrial democracy.Scott put it best when he said: “You have to make sure everyone actually gets basic income so you have that cash. That can feed demand for new jobs. Without it, demand falls, inequality grows, and democracy erodes.”A Call to the NerdsAs we wrapped, I asked Scott how people could stay involved. “Sign up at ItsaFoundation.org,” he said. “Subscribe to the newsletter. Next year we'll have the Bootstraps docu-series, the Comingle app, and events across the country to organize communities.”I told him I'd be cheering him on. Because, frankly, the next five years are going to test whether America is still capable of rational self-government—or if we've outsourced that too.If you've made it this far into this post, you're probably one of the few people left who actually cares about data, ideas, and structural reform. You're a nerd. And that's a good thing.But as I told my audience at the end of the livestream: being a nerd isn't enough. We need to organize, support, and amplify. If we don't, the algorithms will drown out the quiet voices of reason.So if you value this kind of long-form conversation—the kind you won't find on cable news—please consider becoming a Nerds for Humanity YouTube channel member.

Today's episode is all about Autism and its associated communication disorders, as outlined in the DSM-5-TR, focusing on social communication disorder (SCD), childhood onset fluency disorder (stuttering), speech sound disorder, and developmental language disorder (DLD), which affect 50-70%, 4-22%, 20-30%, and up to 50% of Autistic individuals, respectively. We explore neural underpinnings, highlighting hypoactivation in brain regions and brain waves are discussed that are critical for social cognition, alongside disrupted connectivity in networks like the arcuate and superior longitudinal fasciculi. Two genes- FOXP2 and CNTNAP2 are also discussed.Other relevant episodes:Decoding the Brain: How Reading works in Autism and Dyslexia https://youtu.be/s1-7HZchy84?si=-r9foWP8Gmw-Wsx2Autism and Speech & Language https://youtu.be/jhAA-UWduKg?si=TfVWi9AfbFZgv8XVAutism and Sensory Processing part 2 https://youtu.be/iWy9Rligzic?si=2LATDK0bPl6jjat9Daylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skillsuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com00:00 - Introduction to Autism and Communication Disorders; DSM-5-TR, social communication, pragmatic deficits, stuttering, speech sound disorder, developmental language disorder04:02 - Brain Regions and Social Cognition; medial prefrontal cortex, temporal parietal junction, superior temporal sulcus, "theory of mind", hypoactivation06:01 - Autistic Phenotype and Neural Connectivity; Mirror neurons, sensory processing, under-connectivity, arcuate fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus11:38 - Brainwave Patterns and Measurement Techniques; EEG, MEG, gamma band, alpha band suppression, fMRI, DTI & Factional Anisotropy16:27 - Genetic Contributions to Communication; FOXP2, CNTNAP2, neural circuits, synaptic plasticity, language processing19:56 - Social Communication Disorder (SCD); Overview pragmatic language, non-verbal cues, autism differentiation24:45 - Childhood Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering); basal ganglia, motor planning, rTMS, dopamine signaling, Go-Stop, Go-Stop, Go-Stop...30:05 - Speech Sound Disorder Speech; Broca's area, superior temporal gyrus, articulation errors, PROMPT therapy35:25 - Developmental Language Disorder (DLD); Broca's area, Wernicke's area, language comprehension, early intervention40:56 - Importance of Early Intervention; speech therapy, neural connectivity, personalized interventions, neurofeedback.X: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Marty talks about a new enterprise study that will use the AVP as a means for collecting EEG waves from people with neurological disorders, allowing them to communicate through the device.    “This Startup Wants to Put Its Brain-Computer Interface in the Apple Vision Pro” – Wiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/this-startup-wants-to-put-its-brain-computer-interface-in-the-apple-vision-pro/Key Points1. Who Cognixion is- A California-based startup focused on non-invasive BCIs (EEG-based), avoiding surgical implants.- Its mission is to enable communication for people with ALS, paralysis, and other conditions that limit speech.- Previously built the dedicated Axon-R headset, tested with ALS patients.2. Vision Pro Integration- Cognixion is preparing a clinical trial with ~10 participants using a Vision Pro modified with their custom EEG headband.- The system detects visual fixation and attention patterns so users can select items on-screen by focusing on them.- A neural-computing pack worn at the hip processes the brain-signal data.3. Role of AI- Cognixion uses per-user generative-AI models trained on the user's prior communication to predict words or phrases.- In Axon-R trials, participants reached near-conversational communication speeds during multi-hour weekly sessions.4. Opportunities & ChallengesAdvantages:- Non-invasive → less risk, potentially faster adoption.- Leverages a mainstream headset (Vision Pro) and its spatial-computing ecosystem.- AI support can help overcome the low signal resolution of non-invasive EEG.Challenges:- EEG remains less precise than implanted BCIs, so decoding speed and reliability must improve.- The hardware still involves extra components (headband, hip pack) and must be ergonomic and socially acceptable.- Regulatory hurdles: moving from small clinical trial to FDA-approved assistive-tech product.We'll revisit this topic in an upcoming Vision ProFiles episode with more expert insights and discussion.Remember to follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST, or catch the recording later on YouTube, or subscribe to the audio version on your favorite podcast platform.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.NetYouTube: YouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Episode 323 Temperatures in Antarctica have soared by over 35°C. Scientists are concerned about how quickly things are changing on the continent as these warmer temperatures impact the polar vortex. Coupled with record lows in sea ice cover over the last decade, this could be a sign that Antarctic weather patterns have shifted permanently. What's driving this change - and what happens if we have reached a tipping point of no return? Many mammals, including cats, can pivot their ears to focus on a particular sound. But our ears aren't quite so flexible. But now it appears that a similar process happens inside our brain - ‘swivelling' to focus on sounds from different directions. This has only recently been discovered thanks to new portable EEG equipment, as the process only happens when we're moving. This finding may help us better understand how movement changes the brain - and could even help improve hearing aids.  Why do women tend to live longer than men? It could have something to do with the very chromosomes that determine biological sex. By looking at birds, whose sex chromosomes differ from those of mammals, researchers have discovered an intriguing hint at what's going on. But does their new hypothesis hold up? Alongside all the emerging science, Rowan shares his own theory. And the team discusses the disappearance of the Y chromosome - and what that really means for men.

Dr. Amy Albright is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and clairvoyant healer with 23 years of experience reading and transforming the human energy field. She's the co-founder of Holon, where she partners with leading neuroscientists to deliver intensive neurological transformation retreats that produce EEG-verified brain changes in just four days.But here's what makes Amy different: she doesn't believe in processing trauma. She believes in paradigm shifts so profound that the wound doesn't just heal—it disappears entirely, leaving you stronger, wiser, and more expansive than before.Most of us have been taught that healing means understanding our problems, labeling our pathologies, and slowly working through the pain. But what if that's the exact reason we stay stuck? What if the mind's need to process keeps us trapped in the story, while the energetic body holds the key to instant liberation? In this transformative conversation, Raj and Amy dismantle everything you thought you knew about healing and reveal the quantum mechanics of true transformation.In this episode, discover:• Why most healing modalities keep you stuck in your story—and what actually creates lasting change • The "tailbone technique" that activates biological safety in seconds (you can do this anywhere) • How to identify when you're truly healed vs. when you're still carrying trauma you don't realize • Why "processing" emotions mentally keeps you trapped—and what the energetic alternative looks like • The "coordinates method" for flipping paradigms instantly instead of analyzing problems for years • How to hold space for others' pain without getting pulled into their suffering • The foundational ingredients required for transformation that most people miss entirely • Why becoming grounded means remembering you're an "endless soul on an infinite journey"You are not broken. You never were. You are an energetic being capable of quantum shifts that transcend everything you thought was fixed. This conversation will show you how to stop swimming in circles and start embodying the freedom that's already yours.Connect with Dr. Amy:Instagram: @dramyalbrightWebsite: https://www.holonexperience.com/Connect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Quick-Glance Summary I walk you through an MIT experiment where 54 EEG-capped volunteers wrote essays three ways: pure brainpower, classic search, and ChatGPT assistance. Brain-only writers lit up the most neurons and produced the freshest prose; the ChatGPT crowd churned out near-identical essays, remembered little, and racked up what the researchers dub cognitive debt : the interest you pay later for outsourcing thought today. A bonus “switch” round yanked AI away from the LLM devotees (cue face-plant) and finally let the brain-first team play with the toy (they coped fine), proving skills first, tools second. I spiced the tale with calculator nostalgia, a Belgian med-exam cheating fiasco, and Professor Felienne's forklift-in-the-gym metaphor to land one mantra: *scaffolds beat shortcuts*. We peeked at tech “enshittification” once investors demand returns, whispered “open-source” as the escape hatch, and I dared you to try a two-day test—outline solo, draft with AI, revise solo, then check what you still remember. Net takeaway: keep AI on a leash; let thinking drive, tools navigate . If you think I'm full of digital hot air, record your own rebuttal and prove it. Resources MIT study MIT Media Lab. (2025).

Send us a textDr. Amy Albright's journey from atheist neuroscience student to pioneer in the field of consciousness transformation began with an unexpected spiritual awakening at age 18. This profound experience launched her on a path to explore the intersection of brain science and spiritual alignment—a quest that would eventually lead to groundbreaking work helping people access their highest potential through advanced neurofeedback technology.At Holon, the organization she co-founded with Dr. Drew Pierson, Dr. Albright has created what she calls a "laboratory temple"—a space where cutting-edge neuroscience meets sacred healing practices. Using medical-grade EEG technology, they measure thousands of brain data points simultaneously, identifying not just problems but inherent gifts and untapped abilities. "If we can measure it and name it," she explains, "we know how to help you change it."The results are remarkable. Participants often experience up to 40% change in brain function within just five days, with benefits continuing to develop for months as new neural connections grow. Through a process that looks like playing a video game with your mind, the brain—not the conscious mind—receives immediate feedback on how well it's performing the desired functions. This direct brain training helps people reduce anxiety, improve focus, access altered states of consciousness, and even enhance natural abilities like clairvoyance or healing.What makes Dr. Albright's approach revolutionary is her philosophical framework. She challenges the conventional psychotherapeutic model suggesting we can only achieve marginal improvements through years of work. Instead, she maintains that "we're on the precipice of a miracle at any given moment" and that "radical transformation is available without more suffering." This perspective stems from understanding ourselves as connected to something greater—capable of healing and transformation when we align with our true nature.Ready to explore your brain's untapped potential?

Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), and host Pete Jansons for another engaging NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast episode discussing neuroscience, psychology, mental health, and brain training.✅ Topic 1 Explained: What is the “Squash” protocol (aka Nurea)? Jay revisits its late-90s origins, the idea of generalized frontal suppression, and why “gamma is good” isn't always true in clinical contexts.✅ Topic 2 Deep Dive: Caffeine's impact on EEG—why withdrawal can slow alpha into theta, and how dopamine deficits (e.g., fronto-central theta in ADD) fit into stimulant vs. reuptake-inhibitor choices.✅ Topic 3 Insights: Why diagnosis-based studies (OCD/PTSD) show mixed results and how organizing by EEG phenotype predicts very different responses—especially with alpha patterns vs. beta spindling.✅ Additional Topics:

Anfallsformen, Ursachen, Diagnose, Therapie – bei jedem Menschen verläuft die Erkrankung Epilepsie anders und bringt individuelle Herausforderungen und manchmal auch Unklarheiten mit sich. Warum zeigt das EEG in einigen Fällen nichts? Wieso wirkt ein Medikament bei einer Person sofort, während andere Betroffene mehrere und andere Präparate benötigen? Und weshalb treten Nebenwirkungen so unterschiedlich auf? Viele Faktoren rund um die Erkrankung Epilepsie lassen sich nicht mit Sicherheit vorhersagen und so entstehen manchmal auch Fehleinschätzungen, die korrigiert werden müssen und aus denen wir lernen. In unserer neuen Podcastfolge sprechen wir mit unseren Kollegen Lt. OA Dr. Tobias Baumgartner und OA Dr. Jan Pukropski darüber, warum Diagnostik und Therapie sich bei Epilepsien oft so komplex gestalten und wie sie und ihre Kolleg*innen in der klinischen Praxis damit konstruktiv umgehen.   Haben Sie eine Frage zu Epilepsie oder epileptischen Anfällen, die wir in einer unserer nächsten Podcastfolgen beantworten sollen?

Seizures in Kids — Practical Diagnosis, Treatments, and When to Refer https://cmetracker.net/UTHSCSA/Publisher?page=pubOpen#/getCertificate/10101013   Host Holly Wayment brings us this wonderful grand rounds talk for the general pediatrician by pediatric neurologist Dr. Natasha Varughese, where she reviews childhood epilepsy syndromes (ages ~3–15), covering self-limited epilepsies, focal and generalized epilepsies, and developmental epileptic encephalopathies. Key diagnostic tools include EEG, MRI, and genetic testing; prognosis varies widely by syndrome. The talk highlights practical management: appropriate antiseizure medications (and which to avoid), indications for ketogenic diet, when to consider surgery or neuromodulation (VNS, RNS), and warning signs for referral to neurology or epilepsy specialists.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by establishing her psychobiology background and introducing the neurohormonal axis connecting mind and body. She describes revolutionary research published in Nature Neuroscience showing that simply seeing sick people in virtual reality triggers actual immune responses. The study used VR avatars displaying infection symptoms approaching participants, measuring brain activity with EEG and fMRI while analyzing blood samples for immune cell changes. The research demonstrates that infectious avatars approaching in virtual reality activate the same immune pathways as actual flu vaccination. Brain areas including the salience network and peripersonal space system detect potential threats and communicate with the hypothalamus to trigger white blood cell activation. Proximity matters - threats 20 feet away don't trigger responses, but approaching threats do. Dr. Dawn explains the sophisticated methodology, including 128-channel EEG monitoring and flow cytometry analysis of immune markers. Participants showed faster reaction times when infectious avatars approached compared to neutral ones, demonstrating subconscious threat assessment. The study reveals built-in disgust responses that evolved to protect against pathogens. She comments on how her medical training rewire the protective disgust reaction through repeated exposure.. She transitions to discussing stress effects on gastrointestinal function, explaining how the gut-brain axis operates through the vagus nerve and neurohormonal pathways. The adrenal glands produce both immediate epinephrine responses and longer-term cortisol release, with chronic stress leading to digestive disruption, increased intestinal permeability, and microbiome changes that can trigger food sensitivities and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn details the difference between acute and chronic stress responses in the gut. Acute stress redirects energy from digestion for fight-or-flight responses, while chronic stress causes mast cell activation, histamine release, mucus layer thinning, and bacterial overgrowth. These changes can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, increased food allergies, and even celiac disease in genetically susceptible individuals. The discussion covers various brain networks including the default mode network active during rest, the central executive network for problem-solving, and the salience network that switches between them when detecting important stimuli like threats, food, or reproductive opportunities. Functional MRI studies show these networks' activity patterns and their connections to immune system regulation through the hypothalamus. Dr. Dawn emphasizes practical implications for modern life, warning that constant screen exposure and doom-scrolling activate chronic stress responses unnecessarily. She recommends avoiding phones upon waking, spending time outdoors, wearing amber glasses for evening screen use, and practicing specific breathing techniques - inhaling for 5 counts, holding for 5, exhaling for 5, holding for 5 - to regulate nervous system activation and reduce inflammatory responses.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Ron shares how decades of brain research reveal four hidden reasons psychiatric medications don't work, and how the pharmaceutical industry profits from failure. From his own experience with PTSD and traumatic brain injury to groundbreaking EEG discoveries, he reveals how looking at the actual brain changes everything. You'll learn why the “chemical imbalance” theory was never proven, the brainwave patterns that predict medication failure, and how neurofeedback and targeted diagnostics can succeed where pills can't. If you've struggled with medication side effects, treatment-resistant depression, or unanswered questions about mental health, this episode is a must-watch for anyone seeking real solutions.#MedicationsFail #BigPharmaExposed #BrainHealth #Neurofeedback #MentalHealthTruth #PsychiatrySecrets #EEG #MedicationSideEffects #MentalHealthAwareness #DrRonSwatzyna #cameronedwardbenton #gettingtoknowyou Connect with Dr. Ron Swatzyna ✨

▶️ Connect with Richard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardatherton-firsthuman/   What if your brain isn't creating consciousness but filtering it?   Could the scientific study of so-called ‘psi' abilities break the assumptions of materialist science?   In this episode of Being Human, I speak with Jeff Tarrant — psychologist, neuroscientist, and author of Becoming Psychic.    Jeff shares his research on psychics, mediums, and channelers, revealing surprising EEG findings that suggest our minds may tap into a broader field of information.    We explore: - Why the brain blocks 99% of reality - The American mum who suddenly started chanting indigenous hymns - How meditation and psychedelics can loosen our filter - What happens when intuition takes the lead - The mysteries of human potential   Links: Jeff's Website

Our brains can feel remote and abstract. Hidden behind Latin names and textbook diagrams, they rarely feel as personal to us as our hearts and stomachs. In this episode, neurologist and author Pria Anand helps us get a little more intimate with that grey, wrinkly seat of our consciousness.Together we explore both the structural architecture and the musical synchronies of the brain. We travel across the left and the right brain, "listen" to the meaning of different brain waves, and discuss some of the most perplexing examples from the annals of neuroscience. What emerges is not just an intimate journey through the organ that makes us who we are, but also an exploration on the meaning of pain, identity, and storytelling.As always, we finish with my guest's reflection on humanity.

Another packed episode for this month's issue of the journal. There's a special emphasis on case reports this time, showing their value as a way to understand the rarely encountered. For the more common conditions there are guidelines, and the editors give you an introduction to the new ABN guidelines on myasthenia gravis, as a preview to an upcoming full episode on the topic. There's a birder's take on the use of EEG for status epilepticus, a review of the benefits and challenges for digital health records, and some deliberation on ophthalmological pronunciation. Plus, an opportunity to test your knowledge on illicit drug slang: do you know your "jeff" from your "khat"?

Are you ready to stop just understanding your INFP mind and finally start transforming your life? Go here: http://geekpsychology.com/infp-5dayINFPs, ever feel like your brain runs on a completely different operating system? You're not wrong. This deep dive with neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi finally lays it all bare, directly mapping how your unique INFP mind actually works.Dr. Nardi, a leading expert in brain activity and personality types, uses EEG scans to show why INFPs often ask "Why am I like this?" (and why everyone else asks it too!). This isn't just theory; it's tangible proof of how your brain lights up, makes decisions, and processes the world.We break down:The "two CEOs" in your head: your goal-focused Left Prefrontal Cortex and the open-ended Right Prefrontal Cortex – and why INFPs might be more "decision-focused" than you think.The infamous "Christmas Tree Mode" of Extraverted Intuition (Ne) that helps you connect everything, and the sacred "Fortress of Solitude" Introverted Intuition (Ni) needs for deep insights.Why leaning into curiosity is your superpower, and how you actually learn best through failure (the brain literally has a part for it!).The surprising role of the limbic system and why emotions like guilt and regret can be powerful motivators for NF types.How AI is becoming the ultimate co-pilot for NP creativity, helping you sift through ideas and find your spark.If you've ever felt misunderstood or just wanted to hack your own brain for better flow and creativity, this video is a must-watch.

Pour ce 116ème épisode de SENS CREATIF, nous recevons l'excellente BILIANA TODOROVA, docteur en sciences, coach et conférencière internationale et autrice de "Neuroexcellence" aux éditions Dunod.Biliana a mené plus de cent expérimentations sur son propre cerveau avec des IRM, EEG, MEG et même des tests moléculaires avec des produits que vous n'auriez sans doute pas aimé expérimenter. Ensemble, on s'aventure dans les coulisses de la créativité version neurosciences : pourquoi notre cerveau adore nous piéger avec ses automatismes, comment le stress peut devenir un turbo plutôt qu'un frein, et quelles astuces simples permettent d'ouvrir grand les vannes de l'inspiration. Une discussion en plein air, entre science et vécu perso, où l'on découvre que le cerveau peut être à la fois notre meilleur allié ou notre plus grand saboteur… selon la manière dont on joue avec lui !Dans cet épisode, on discute :

Paul Buitink spreekt met Jort Kelder over de democratie in Nederland, de EU en de euro.Is Nederland vastgelopen? Jort noemt ons land extreem gebureaucratiseerd en een ambtenarensamenleving, waarbij die ambtenaren niet worden afgerekend op hun prestaties. Hij legt uit waarom hij Singapore als voorbeeld ziet van hoe het beter kan.Ons EU-lidmaatschap ziet Jort als een belemmerende factor. Hij vindt dat we het bij de EEG hadden moeten houden, of opt-outs hadden moeten regelen. Tegelijkertijd is hij geen voorstander van een Nexit en ziet hij federalisering juist wel zitten. Wel vindt hij dat politici eerlijker moeten zijn over de kosten die de EU en de euro met zich meebrengen voor de belastingbetaler, en benadrukt hij dat we geen Italiaanse schulden zouden moeten overnemen. Zou Nederland welvarend kunnen zijn zonder de euro? Is de EU te hervormen? Jort bespreekt de omgekeerde solidariteit in de EU, waarbij Nederlanders met minder vermogen Italianen met meer vermogen subsidiëren. Volgens hem zullen Fransen en Italianen uiteindelijk hervormen omdat de wal het schip keert. Nederland moet daarvoor wel harder onderhandelen. Ook bespreken Paul en Jort de mogelijkheid van een experiment met een parallelle munt om de Nederlandse onderhandelingspositie te versterken.Jort noemt Milei de meest interessante economische gebeurtenis sinds Thatcher. Waarom horen we zo weinig over hem in Nederland? En zou zijn beleid hier ook werken? Ook bespreken ze een hervorming van de Nederlandse democratie. Jort is erg kritisch op de Nederlandse kiezer.Tot slot bespreken ze het afnemende concurrentievermogen, de Nederlandse bevolking en saaie politici.

We're joined by Hongi Ngo, who developed a revolutionary technique for manipulating sleep oscillations during his PhD.  Closed-loop Auditory Stimulation (CLAS), which uses bursts of pink noise which are carefully timed to a particular phase of an existing brain oscillation to either boost or dampen the target oscillation.  It has been used to selectively strengthen or weaken memories, improve the immune response, reduce epileptic seizures, and even potentially to slow down age related cognitive decline.Hongi tells us how he got got the idea for CLAS, explains how it works, and tells us about some of his existing studies.  He talks about combining CLAS with Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) and discusses the ideas for future of brain modulation methods with techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Some of the key papers discussed are:Auditory closed-loop stimulation of the sleep slow oscillation enhances memory (2013)Auditory closed-loop stimulation of EEG slow oscillations strengthens sleep and signs of its immune-supportive function (2017)Thalamic spindles promote memory formation during sleep thrugh triple phase-locking of cortical, thalamic and hippocampal rhythms (2017)Examining the optimal timing for closed-loop auditory stimulation of slow-wave sleep in young and older adults (2019)Auditory stimulation during sleep suppresses spike activity in benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (2021)Shaping overnight consolidation via slow-oscillation closed-loop targeted memory reactivation (2022)Check out our NaPS website to find out more about the podcast, our research and events.

What if the medications women are told to trust during pregnancy are actually putting their babies at risk?

Is ChatGPT dumbing down your kid? It is and here's what you can do.A new MIT study reveals the powerful consequences of artificial intelligence on actual intelligence, and guess what? Simply (and terrifyingly) put, the use of artificial intelligence undermines your child's actual intelligence. In short, when children don't think for themselves, they don't learn to think for themselves. That should surprise no one.I'll get to the disturbing details of the study in a moment, but let me first explain why these outcomes were obvious and inevitable. In a nutshell, the brain functions like a muscle insofar that it becomes stronger when it is used and atrophies when it is not used. I could list a thousand additional factors that affect thinking, but that simple premise really is enough for this discussion.And when I say that the brain functions like a muscle, most people think I'm speaking overly metaphorically. I'm not. While the brain, of course, isn't actual muscle tissue, its functioning is remarkably similar. Much in the way that exercising muscles builds more muscles, exercising the brain builds the brain—literally. Every single time we engage in a thinking act, the brain builds more wiring, such as synapses through synaptogenesis, for that thinking act. On the flipside, the brain not only allows existing pathways to diminish when they're not used, it actually overwrites existing pathways with new ones.Watch this play out in the MIT study …The MIT StudyThat study is Your brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, by a team of researchers led by Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna. The scientists broke a group of students down into three essay-writing groups: An “A.I.-assisted” writing group that used multiple LLMs (not just ChatGPT), a “search engine” group, and a “brain-only” group. The students then engaged in three writing sessions while the researchers monitored their brain activity using an EEG. Each student was interviewed after each session, and all of their writing was assessed by humans, as well as an A.I.So, what happens when one group is required to use their brains more than the other groups? Would it shock you to know that the group that needed to do their own thinking actually thought more? I hope not, not anymore than it should be surprising that a group of kids who practiced hitting a ball did better at hitting a ball than a group of kids who watched a robot hit a ball for them. (Okay, that's not a perfectly fair analogy to the A.I. usage in this case, but it illustrates the point.)And the point is that brain-only group performed better and scored higher on their essays. But that's not the most important outcome for us. What's more important is that “the brain-only group exhibited the strongest, widest-ranging networks” of brain activity, while the group with A.I. “assistance elicited the weakest overall coupling.” In other words, the brain-only group thought a lot; the A.I.-assisted group did not. Do you remember what we said about what happens when the brain “muscle” isn't used?But it gets worse. The researchers brought those two groups back for a fourth session and switched their roles. They gave the A.I. group a brain-only writing task and the brain-only group an A.I. writing task. And here's what's so important: the brain-only group still performed better, even when using A.I., and the A.I. group still performed worse, even when given the opportunity to think for themselves. Or should I say, it did worse because they now had to think for themselves.Over the first three brain-only writing assignments, the brain-only students built their brains for the task, and they built mental frameworks (read: habits) to rely on when engaging those tasks. Thus, that they then “gained” an A.I. assistant did not suddenly degrade all of the wiring that their brains built. But the A.I. group, when suddenly given the opportunity for a brain-only task, not only had built no wiring for accomplishing that task, it also, and this is the most critical part, created wiring and mental frameworks for using A.I. instead.What that means in a nutshell, and these are my words not those of the study, is that the brain-only group got smarter and the A.I. group not only failed to become smarter, they got dumbed down—they became habituated to relying on A.I. Thus, when given the opportunity to do so, they were incapable of thinking as well as the brain-only participants did.All of that should be concerning enough, but there's more. In addition to the direct cognitive effects, the researchers also found that brain-only participants “demonstrated higher memory recall” and engagement of thinking-related brain areas compared to the A.I group. Meanwhile, compared to the brain-only group, the A.I. participants reported lower “ownership of their essay,” which is an educator's way of saying that they didn't care about it as much and did not feel as though it was their own.Thus, to sum it all up, A.I.-assisted writing made the kids perform poorly, made them dumber, and made them less invested in their own thinking and writing.What to doIn light of this study, one school of “thought” could be that since everyone is going to rely on A.I. in the future anyway, kids who do so will be no worse off than their peers, and using A.I. might free up time for them to do things that are more valuable than writing essays, which, again, they won't really ever need to write on their own anyway because A.I. will be there to “assist.” Those who subscribe to that position probably should stop following me here at Actual Intelligence right now as we will be rather inclined to disagree.The other school of thought is that thinking skills, such as those developed through writing, which research repeatedly shows is the best way to teach critical thinking, are far more important than any and all expediencies achieved through A.I. assistance. Let me rephrase that: If you want your kids to build their brains rather than have them degenerate into relatively useless gelatin that can only write A.I. prompts or order burrito online, then keep their brains as far from A.I. as possible.Obviously, there's not much that you can do with your college-aged kids other than share this information with them and hope they make the right decisions. But for kids still under your roof, there are things you can do:1. Share this information with them. Most kids don't want to become dumber; they do value their ability to think. So, take time to explain, and then reinforce, the consequences of A.I. In fact, start thinking of A.I. as something about which you need to begin messaging no differently than alcohol, drugs, and sex.2. Ask them how they use A.I. Understand their current relationship with A.I., and please keep in mind that the MIT study does not speak to other ways that students might interact with A.I. beyond this one context. Using A.I. in other ways might be more or less consequential.3. Check their work: There are plenty of sites out there that scan essays to see if they were written by A.I. Those sites are not perfectly reliable, but they might offer useful information about what your kid is up to.4. If you want to get serious, have your kids download all their source materials before writing, then shut of their internet while they write. Take away the temptation; make them use their brains.ConclusionThe implications of A.I.-based “thinking” work are becoming clear, but for anyone who has thought about it or who values thinking, they're also not surprising. Every time we use A.I. to “assist” our thinking, it not only prevents us from thinking, it degrades our capacity to think in the future.Worse—much, much worse—is that those of you reading this built your brains before A.I. existed, which means that even if you gravitate to using A.I. now (please don't), you've got a lot of “muscle” built up to abate its consequences. A.I. will still degrade your thinking, but those sound neural pathways you built up all your life won't all turn to jelly overnight.But for your kids, it's different. Their neural pathways are still in the process of building up for the first time. Even though we are all always rewriting our brains, kids' brains have not even fully developed, so whatever they habituate to will become hardwired moving forward. Consequently, kids who are raised as A.I. natives might never develop their brains for thinking in the same way yours did. And that will not only affect their lives, but a generation of lesser-thinkers will affect all our lives.But there's good news! Somewhere down the line, kids who actually learn to think for themselves will stand out against the emerging generation who might not. So, if you can raise your own child to think critically, they might just be among the few who lead the world to a better place.And that, once again, is why actual intelligence is so important.
