The Future of Brain Data, AI & Mental Health
Stellar Success with Tudor Francu
Watch Now
What happens when a physician looks beyond traditional mental health diagnoses and uses brain data, EEG, and AI to better understand the individual patient? In this episode of the Stellar Success Podcast, Dr. Steve Rondeau shares his journey from developmental pediatrics and working with children with autism, developmental delays, and seizures to exploring brain imaging, EEG, AI, and data-driven approaches to mental health. Dr. Rondeau discusses how his experience in an integrative mental health center led him to explore objective data as another way to understand patients, eventually building a large repository of brain scans and using AI to identify patterns across different populations.
The Impact of Our Environments and How to Think Like a Brain
Perception Dynamics with Dian Griesel
Watch Now
Host Dian Griesel interviews Dr. Steve Rondeau about “thinking like a brain” and the idea that many struggles we experience may reflect a brain responding appropriately to an unsupportive environment rather than being broken. Dr. Rondeau explains how EEG-based brain scans measure real-time electrical functioning, identifying over- and underactive areas and responses to triggers. Drawing on over 50,000 scans, work in residential addiction centers, and studies of groups like racing drivers, he describes how the same brain patterns that are often tied to problems can also relate to strengths, and how people in the same setting interpret experiences differently.
The Brain Type Behind Your Kid’s Focus and Meltdowns

If your child has been labeled with ADHD, anxiety, or “just difficult,” this brain scan conversation will change how you see their brain completely. In this episode, Dr. Steve Rondeau explains why two kids with the same ADHD diagnosis can have completely different brains, what a QEEG brain scan actually measures, and why he calls certain wiring patterns “gifts” instead of disorders. We also get into his Husky Phenomenon concept, why some kids self-regulate on screens while others fall apart, and how to find or request a brain scan for your own child. This is the episode to listen to before your next trial-and-error conversation with a provider.

Psychiatry often operates without looking at the actual organ being treated. Dr. Steve Rondeau notes that this is unlike any other field in medicine. A cardiologist would never diagnose a heart problem without using an EKG. Most specialties use objective tests to guide their treatment decisions. Brain scans provide the missing data needed for accurate care. Without objective measures, doctors must rely on how a patient describes their feelings. This interpretation can lead to different diagnoses depending on which specialist you visit. Testing ensures that the treatment matches the actual biological need.
End the Guessing Game in Mental Health Care
Between Sessions With Berries hosted by Kym Tolson

When a client cycles through medication after medication with no real improvement, it is easy to label them treatment-resistant and run out of ideas. Referring out to a psychiatrist often just means more trial and error, with no clear answer for why nothing seems to be working. Kym sits down with Dr. Steve Rondeau, founder of Axon EEG Solutions and a naturopathic doctor who has analyzed more than 50,000 brain scans. Steve explains how objective brain data can show what is actually happening in a client’s brain instead of relying on subjective symptom checklists, and why two people with the exact same diagnosis can need completely different treatment approaches.
Brain Mapping: A New Language for Mental Health

Dr. Steven Rondeau has conducted more than 50,000 qEEG (quantitative EEG) brain scans, giving him one of the largest pattern recognition datasets in mental health care. In this episode, he breaks down how brain behavior patterns show up in anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood instability, cognitive decline, and cases where clients do not respond to standard protocols. This is about seeing mental health differently. Not just symptoms, but patterns.

Is Your Child’s Treatment Based on a Guess?
Parenting on the Spectrum with Theresa Alexander Inman

When your child is struggling, the last thing you want is another treatment chosen through trial and error. Dr. Rondeau reveals how qEEG brain mapping may offer valuable information about what is happening beneath a child’s behavior. They explore why two children with the same diagnosis may have completely different brain patterns and need very different supports. This is not a conversation about replacing professional medical care. It is about asking better questions, using more objective information, and creating environments where autistic children can reveal their strengths and thrive.
AI Won’t Replace Therapists. It May Replace Guesswork
The CTO Show with Mehmet Gonullu
Watch Now
The core tension is clear: mental health has too often treated labels as answers, while the brain may be telling a different story. The conversation reframes AI in healthcare as a decision-support layer, not a replacement for clinicians. Dr. Steve explains why two people with the same diagnosis can respond completely differently to treatment, how a database of more than 50,000 brain scans changes the conversation, and why objective biological data can reduce trial and error in care. The episode also connects AI, explainability, human judgment, and empathy in a field where the cost of guessing can be very high.
The Brain in the Wrong Place
The Superhuman Academy Podcast with Collin Jewett
Listen Now
Dr. Steve Rondeau joins us today to explore how different brain patterns influence performance, focus, stress, learning, and behavior and why “normal” may not actually be the goal. Drawing from over 50,000 EEG brain scans, we discuss ADHD-like traits, high-performance wiring, meditation, environment fit, and the idea that many so-called weaknesses may actually become strengths in the right conditions. If you’ve ever felt like your brain works differently from everyone else’s, this conversation offers a practical and surprisingly hopeful framework for understanding how you’re wired and how to build a life that works with your brain instead of against it.

Show Notes: Can Brain Waves Help the Mental Health Crisis?
Episode Description: In this episode, we conduct an in-depth review of the 2026 narrative review, ”Quantitative Electroencephalography as a Complement to Symptom-Based Psychiatric Diagnosis: A Narrative Review,” published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine.
Joining us to discuss the groundbreaking findings are the paper's authors: DrsFrancesco Amico, Scott Shannon, and Steve Rondeau. Together, they challenge the traditional psychiatric reliance on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which they argue is limited by its focus on subjective symptom clusters rather than underlying neurobiological causes.
We explore how Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) serves as a vital bridge toward precision psychiatry. By transforming raw brain activity into a digital ”power spectrum,” clinicians can identify objective biomarkers for complex conditions that often look identical on the surface.
In this episode, we review the paper’s key sections, including:
The Problem with ”Trial-and-Error”: Why symptom-based assessments often lead to inaccurate diagnoses and ineffective treatments.
The qEEG Toolkit: A breakdown of essential neurophysiological markers, from Spectral Slowing and Peak Alpha Frequency to Frontal Alpha Asymmetry and Source Localization (LORETA).
Disorder-Specific Patterns: How the authors synthesize recurring trends in ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, and Addiction to guide more targeted interventions.
Practical Implementation: The shift toward portable, affordable, and wireless EEG systems that make brain-based diagnostics accessible for the average clinic.
Challenges & Cautions: A look at the importance of expert interpretation (IQCB standards) and the need to avoid over-interpreting data.
