Watch real brain scans analyzed live every Wednesday on The Brain Bar, then cold-read Thursday by Jay Gunkelman — the man who has reviewed over 500,000 qEEGs.
Real-time brain scan analysis with a rotating panel of experts. We pull a raw EEG recording, put it on screen, and break down what we see — live, in front of you.
Every Thursday, Jay Gunkelman cold-reads the scan from the previous week's Brain Bar — no prep, no history, no context. Just pure pattern recognition from a man who has reviewed 500,000+ scans. Pete and Jay (and sometimes Dr. Mari Swingle) break down what the brain is really saying.
Jay Gunkelman is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts in quantitative EEG (qEEG) interpretation. With over five decades of experience and having personally reviewed more than half a million brain maps, Jay brings unparalleled pattern recognition to every scan he analyzes.
His nickname "Carnac" comes from his almost uncanny ability to cold-read a brain map — describing personality traits, history, symptoms, and even medications with startling accuracy, often with zero prior information.
