The Missing Link in Athletic Performance: Brain Mapping & Neurofeedback (Part 1) with Dr. Kevin Butterfield
Athletes spend countless hours training strength, endurance, mobility, and movementâbut how often do we intentionally train the brain?
In this special featured episode from the Better Brains, Better Futures Podcast, now part of the FAKTR Podcast Network, host Seth Kaelin sits down with returning FAKTR Podcast guest Dr. Kevin Butterfield to explore the growing role of quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain mapping and neurofeedback in sports performance.
In this two-part training, Dr. Butterfield discusses how objective brain data may help clinicians evaluate focus, reaction time, cognitive fatigue, emotional regulation, concussion recovery, and overall athletic performance.
Together, Seth and Dr. Butterfield make the case that neurological performance may be one of the greatest untapped opportunities in modern sports medicine.
Whether you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, sports medicine physician, or rehabilitation professional, this episode offers an engaging introduction to one of the fastest-growing areas of performance healthcare.
