The Neanderthal Mind

Toby Pasman

Episode Summary

HELLO Cave Dweller Community. Let me start off with an apology. I have not put an episode out in over 3 weeks! I have no excuses, but I do apologize! But I am back and starting off STRONG with this weeks Guest. Toby Pasman is a Neurophysiology Researcher, who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Joining a research lab called the Brain Development Lab, Toby worked on what was called the emotions and neuroplasticity project, basically looking at the brain and heart electrical recordings that are associated with different sort of emotional states. Toby has been working the past couple years at Peak Performance Center up in Seattle, working to train the brain, train the electrical activity of the brain, through various technologies. Toby has spent about a little over a year at an Addiction Medicine Center in Florida, also utilizing these technologies to treat patients diagnosed with addiction problems along with mental health issues. We touch a little on ECG (electroencephalography), that's basically a tool used by researchers to measure the brain's electrical activity. Toby and I cover the subjects of, neurofeedback, biofeedback, transcranial stimulation, and PMF (Post Electromagnetic Frequencies. I will let Toby explain to the Cave Dweller Community, what all those words mean. We talk about enhancing cognition, nootropics, meditation, parasympathetic and sympathetic. He is currently working on his Master's of Psychology at Lynn University and running Roscoe's Wetsuit Neuro Podcast, his applied neuroscience and psychology show. His show can be found at his Youtube channel Roscoe's Wetsuit along with audio versions of the podcast available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and just about anywhere else you can listen to podcasts. OK, you get the picture, Toby is about to lay down some serious psych on us and tie it all into the Neanderthal Mind and how it affects us today.

Episode Notes

Well, did I tell you, or did I tell you that Toby was about to lay some serious psych on us in this episode. Funny thing is, this is just part one of two, of course. So join me next week Cave Dwellers, as we continue our conversation with Toby, where we get into Float Tanks, the corpus collosum, the left brain and right brain, the reptilian brain, and ssoooo much more. I am excited to listen to it, so I know you will be as well Cave Dwellers. As always, please email the show, leave some comments and critiques. I need to hear from you to know if I am giving you what you want from this podcast, but also, to know what to give you in upcoming episodes. I will, in the future, try my hand at another solo episode, and hopefully I wont butcher it up, like I feel I did the last solo episode. So, until next time Cave Dwellers.
