URGENT REMINDER!!!!!

BrainSignals 2026 QEEG Mentoring groiup meetings with Jay Gunkelman, QEEG Diplomate, Emeritus are starting nextweek.

We are offering clinicians and researchers a unique learning experience with one of the most experienced minds in the field of quantitative EEG analysis. Despite being semi-retired, Jay continues to generously share insights gained from decades of work and analysis of hundreds of thousands of EEGs. Participants will deepen their practical skills in EEG interpretation and brain diagnostics in a collaborative environment that emphasizes case-based learning and meaningful signal analysis.

The first meeting is schedule next week:

Friday January 30, 15:00-17:00pm US Pacific time or Saturday 31st 10:00-12:00 am (Sydney time) AEDT

You can register for a single meeting on January 31, 2026, here: https://www.braininstitute.com.au/event-6525805

Or register for the block of 10 Grand Rounds here: https://www.braininstitute.com.au/event-6477172

We are looking forward to continuing to learn QEEG — and so much more —from our amazing mentor, Jay Gunkelman

Cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology have made substantial advances in knowledge about metacognitive processes, but these fields have progressed in parallel. This Review integrates the literature to start a cross-field dialogue that will improve the understanding and treatment of psychopathology.

🧠 The Neurobiology of Stress and the Hidden Feedback Loop That Controls Behavior

When we feel stressed, it often feels like a sudden storm. Panic. Pressure. A wave that hits out of nowhere. But inside the brain, stress is not random at all. It follows a loop. A sequence. A structured workflow that looks surprisingly similar to you daily works.

Your nervous system collects information, evaluates inputs, filters what matters, takes action, and then rewires itself based on the final outcome.
Yes, stress literally updates your brain just like a system updates its data.

The moment I understood this, everything changed.
I stopped feeling bullied by my stress and started understanding it.
And when you understand the logic of the stress loop, you can influence it. You can redirect it. You can even rewire how it shows up in your life.

Today I broke down this entire loop in a detailed article.
Not in textbook language. But in a human, honest, lived way.

I explained each stage the way I personally interpret it:
✔ how the brain sets goals before stress even begins
✔ how sensory and emotional channels feed signals into the system
✔ how the body activates and why it feels like it does
✔ how the brain selects which stressor deserves attention
✔ how you learn from each stressful event
✔ how repeated stress reshapes your neural pathways

I also added prompts you can use to decode your own reactions.
And examples from my own life studying, working in clinical environments, and managing pressure in real time.

ATTENTION BRAIN THERAPISTS AND BRAIN ENTHUSIASTS!

An important event that will change the way you understand brain function in health and disease

Join our upcoming webinar:

ERP Components as Functional Neuromarkers of Brain Systems
with renowned neuroscientist Prof. Yury Kropotov.

Date: December 03_2025
Time: 18:00-20:00 pm AEDT (Sydney, Australia time)


Prof. Kropotov will take you step by step through the complexity of information flow in the brain, revealing how latent ERP components map the functional architecture of sensory processing, proactive control, and affective systems.
This webinar will help you solve the puzzle of the brain.
Many current therapies in mental health are still based on outdated paradigms that overlook the subtle, dynamic features of the individual brain during task performance.
When we oversimplify brain function, we risk misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment.
Patients deserve better.
Discover how measuring information processing in the brain—through QEEG and ERP neuromarkers—can transform your understanding of each client’s unique neural patterns and guide more precise, personalised treatment.
