In this fascinating episode of "Alzheimer’s Breakthrough with Dr. Josh" ,Dr. Josh sits down with Mike Cohen, Director of the Center for Brain Training, to explore the science of neurofeedback, quantitative EEG (QEEG), brain mapping, and brain training— and how these tools may support Alzheimer’s prevention, cognitive optimization, memory improvement, and overall brain health.
Mike shares his remarkable personal story of how neurofeedback helped his father recover from severe treatment-resistant depression, inspiring over 30 years of work in applied psychophysiology and brain training.
