   Where Is Memory Stored? Pribram's Theory | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

   Jay Gunkelman, who has read more than 500,000 EEGs, jokes about losing his car keys, then asks: where is a memory actually stored? In this archived NeuroNoodle Open Mic Q&A, recorded March 19, 2025 and republished October 15, 2026, host Pete Jansons joins Jay, Dr. Mari Swingle and Dianne Kosto. Jay describes Karl Pribram's holographic theory of memory—an explanatory theory, not settled fact. References to Jay's age and 52 years in the field reflect the March 2025 recording. The panel also discusses social-media self-diagnosis, conversations with teens who identify with a diagnosis, practitioner skill, brain-stimulation terminology, sunlight and mood, diet, and careers in neurofeedback. 🎙️ Panel: Jay Gunkelman (QEEG pioneer, 500,000+ EEGs read) | Dr. Mari Swingle (Swingle Clinic, author of i-Minds) | Dianne Kosto (SYMMETRY Neuro-Pathway Training) | Host: Pete Jansons 🧠 WHAT WE COVER 0:00 — 🧩 Cold open: Pribram's memory theory 1:44 — 🏫 Archived Seattle workshop discussion 5:10 — 👁️ Jay's eye surgery and counting EEGs 7:34 — ⚡ Questions about vision, alpha speed and memory 9:58 — 🧠 Episodic memory and frontal midline theta 11:39 — 🌀 Savants and Pribram's holographic memory theory 15:12 — 📈 Jay's 52 years in neurofeedback, as of March 2025 18:27 — 📱 Self-diagnosis, social media and having a bad day 19:41 — 🔌 Discussing tDCS, tACS and neurofeedback 21:58 — 🔍 Teens, Google and diagnostic labels 26:02 — 📚 Diagnostic terminology and the DSM 26:47 — 🔪 Amplitude, infralow or stim: who's holding the tool? 28:06 — 🧲 Questions about PEMF 32:58 — ☀️ Sunlight, vitamin D and mood 37:43 — 🥊 Where neurofeedback experts disagree 39:59 — 🌊 Slow cortical potentials and terminology 41:08 — 🧬 Discussion of genetics and EEG phenotypes 43:53 — 🎯 OCD and electrode-placement questions 49:15 — 🥑 Keto, diet and neurofeedback 54:42 — 🎓 Building a neurofeedback career: BCIA 57:56 — 🔬 What is an EEG tech?

   Rocket Fuel, Cats & the Birth of Neurofeedback | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

   Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans — and this week he and host Pete Jansons start with one of the strangest origin stories in brain science. Rocket fuel was making janitors convulse, Barry Sterman was mapping the dose in cats, and a handful of cats refused to seize. The reason: they had already been trained with SMR neurofeedback. From there Jay works through the questions from last night's Brain Bar: why there's no such thing as a "normal" EEG, how pilots' brainwaves tracked a 30% higher crash rate, what sleep deprivation does to your dreams and your seizure threshold, the alpha coma, Leucovorin and the B vitamins, and why "you can't cure autism because you can't catch autism." Then Jay reads a 2011 EEG of an eight-year-old with Asperger's and shows why some kids won't look at your face. Plus the neurofeedback billing-code fight, Jay's custom Italian monocle, and a preview of the Suisun City Summit. 🎙️ Panel: Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans) — host Pete Jansons. 🧠 WHAT WE COVER:🚀 0:00 — Cold open: rocket fuel, cats & the accidental birth of SMR🧐 2:14 — Jay's custom Italian monocle + "Jay Gunkelman 6.0"👁️ 4:58 — Alpha blocking vs. alpha attenuation🧮 8:25 — There's no such thing as a "normal" EEG📊 9:09 — Why z-scores and statistics alone miss the pattern🐈 12:56 — Barry Sterman's rocket fuel and cat experiments✈️ 15:11 — Pilots' EEGs and a 30% higher crash rate🔌 18:19 — SMR vs. mu: the BCI mix-up🛌 19:33 — SMR, sleep spindles & customizing training🚪 21:42 — "K is for knock": the K-complex😵 23:25 — Sleep deprivation, microsleep & dreams leaking into the day🌊 25:42 — Three kinds of theta: frontal midline vs. ADHD theta💊 29:40 — Amphetamines, kids & the long-term question🫁 30:10 — Hyperbaric oxygen, Alzheimer's & the alpha coma🧪 32:37 — What is Leucovorin?
