EEG Cleanup Live: ICA, Montage & What Your Amp Tells You | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

The Brain Bar case file didn't make it to Jay in time — so we pivoted and did something probably more valuable. Jay opened a real EEG live on air and walked Pete through the entire clinical cleanup process from scratch: calibrations, montage selection, ICA artifact removal, and spectral analysis..By the end, Jay had identified beta spindles, slowed right temporal alpha, and gave the full clinical picture — ADD/ADHD kid, split medication target. Carnac doesn't need the envelope when he's got half a million scans in his head..🎙️ Panel: Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans), Pete Jansons (host).🧠 What You'll Learn:📐 Why calibrations are non-negotiable — and what happens in court without them🔌 Linked ears vs. global average reference — why linked ears will burn you🧹 ICA artifact removal live — eye blinks, muscle, electrode pop, DC shifts⚠️ Why you must never erase EEG data — the med-legal trap🔰 What montage a new clinician should default to starting out📊 How to read spectral analysis — beta spindles, slowed alpha, right temporal focus💊 Split medication targeting — amphetamine for slowed alpha, guanfacine for beta spindles🌀 Gauss's Law of Electricity — the fastest way to spot a bad montage.⏱️ Timestamps / Key Moments:🎙️ 0:00 Welcome — pivot episode, Jay pulls a real EEG live🧠 3:06 Jay Gunkelman screen share — live ADHD EEG walkthrough begins🌀 11:46 Gauss's Law of Electricity — if all channels go the same direction, leave🔰 26:00 What montage should a new clinician default to starting out?🗑️ 34:43 When do you quit on a bad EEG recording and throw it out?⏱️ 38:03 Jay vs. a newbie — how much faster is 500K scans worth?💊 45:13 ADHD case revealed — beta spindles, slowed alpha, split medication target.🔗 Updates & Links:🌀 Gauss's Law of Electricity — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%2....🎵 Walk to the Beach (Spotify) — https://open.spotify.com/album/369UTV...🧠 Suisun Summit 2026 — https://suisuncitysummit.com.💪 Help keep NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast going!👉 Support on Patreon:   / neuronoodle  🔔 Like, subscribe, share & hit the bell for weekly episodes📺 The Brain Bar — LIVE every Wednesday 6 PM CST | 4 PM PST | 7 PM EST.#NeuroNoodle #NeurofeedbackTherapyPodcast #Neurofeedback #JayGunkelman#PeteJansons #EEG #QEEG #BrainMapping #MentalHealth #BrainHealth#Neurotherapy #EEGCleanup #ICA #ArtifactRemoval #LinkedEars #Montage#BetaSpindles #ADHD #GausssLaw #SpectralAnalysis
