🎙️ Homunculus, Chronic Pain, Botox & Mirror Neurons | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast

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, and the brain's fascinating connection to pain control.

✅ Homunculus Explained: What exactly is a homunculus? Jay dives into sensory vs. motor homunculus differences—and how it impacts our perception and movement.
✅ Chronic Pain & Neurofeedback: Learn how brain techniques like neurofeedback and HRV training can significantly reduce chronic pain and even eliminate suffering.
✅ Botox & Facial Expression: Can Botox impact emotional reception and mirror neurons? Discover the surprising neuroscience behind facial paralysis treatments.
✅ Mirror Neurons & Emotional Health: Dr. Mari explores how our brain's mirror neurons shape emotional development, connection, and psychological well-being—especially after periods of social isolation.
✅ Telepathy & Telekinesis? Jay offers insights into the science (and fiction) of telepathy, telekinesis, and how the brain stores and communicates information.
