Summary
This episode is all about the brain, specifically how to optimize cognitive performance and behaviors via neurofeedback. Research shows our brains are highly malleable and neurofeedback is a cutting edge tool to help us safely train broad regulatory actions associated with mood, attention, self-regulation and self-control, sleep, energy, stress, anxiety, and much, much more.
But how exactly does neurofeedback work? And for those with advanced knowledge in the field, can we objectively measure executive function? Dr. Andrew Hill, a previous guest on this podcast who holds a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience, helps us answer those questions. We break down the brain’s “languages” (think delta, theta, alpha beta brainwaves) in an easy to understand format while satisfying questions we all want answers to, such as:
The difference between neurofeedback and biofeedback
Why normal readings during brain mappings are overrated
What neurofeedback reveals about the brain post COVID
Combining chemicals that boost brain plasticity with neurofeedback
What brain maps tell us about cannabis and the brain
If you love the brain like we do, this episode is for you. Listen in now.

| 0:00.0 | As I got into neurofeedback before grad school, I started being blown away by the transformation. |
| 0:05.7 | I'm sure you are too when you first started seeing what it could do, just magical transformation |
| 0:10.1 | often and things that other stuff doesn't change to some extent. And what I found was as I got good |
| 0:18.0 | at brain mapping and talking to people about the process of what was happening in their brain, it created almost as much benefit as the transformation |
| 0:28.2 | they got from neurofeedback. |
| 0:30.2 | The agency that you understand, if you see your anterior cingulate is crampy and I can say, |
| 0:35.2 | hey, that's a thing that shows up when you're a high powered CEO or if you have a little OCD, they can go, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, cool, superpower, kryptonite, |
| 0:42.6 | nice, okay, gets in control over that. And it's not a disease. Now it's like a quirk. It's a |
| 0:46.9 | strength that's gotten a little disregulated. |
| 0:51.5 | Collective insights as a voyage through topics and technologies revolutionizing human well-being. |
| 0:57.0 | Groundbreaking approaches for a better world and a better life away you. |
| 1:00.7 | Welcome to Collective Insights. |
| 1:05.1 | Welcome to the Collective Insights podcast. |
| 1:07.7 | I'm Dr. Dan Sickler. |
| 1:08.9 | I'll be your host for today. |
| 1:10.2 | And we are happy today to bring |
| 1:12.1 | back Dr. Andrew Hill to the show. Dr. Hill is the founder of Peak Brain Institute and a top |
| 1:18.4 | performance coach in the country. He holds a PhD in cognitive neuroscience from UCLA's |
| 1:24.7 | Department of Psychology and continues to spearhead cognitive research |
| 1:28.7 | using EEG, QEEG, and ERP methodologies. Dr. Hill, welcome back to the show. Oh, thank you so much |
| 1:35.8 | for having me back. Nice to see you again. Yeah, I'm excited to talk to you today. We've been doing a big |
| 1:42.4 | deep dive into COVID brain, and I want to pick your brain on that one |
