🎙️ SMR & Brain Blood Flow, Cold Feet, and Restless Legs | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast

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: Cold feet during neurofeedback might be linked to sympathetic overarousal or circulation issues—Jay explores temperature training, HRV, and even vascular screenings.
✅ Topic 2 Deep Dive: SMR’s effect on blood flow and how precise frequency training can improve perfusion, reduce ischemia, and support conditions like migraines and traumatic brain injury.
✅ Topic 3 Insights: Restless leg syndrome is examined as a sleep disorder treated with dopamine-based meds and SMR neurofeedback—plus how frontal beta balance prevents underarousal.

✅ Additional Topics:
🎯 The “round tuit” coin Jay’s bringing to the summit
💪 EEG patterns in ADD and CPT tasks
💡 SMR and seizure prevention: NASA cats, Barry Sterman, and intractable epilepsy
📻 Rumination and the anterior cingulate cortex
😴 Using frequency bands to gently adjust perfusion and avoid hypoxia
🖐️ Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes and customizing protocols
📅 SMR, Parkinsonism, and brain flexibility discussed for the upcoming Suisun Summit
