the full qeeg story: the peak brain plates from the nov 10, 2025 baseline and the dec 19, 2025 retest, the 28-row iva-2 change table, and dr. andrew hill's dec 31, 2025 zoom readout of the retest. every region attribution below comes from hill's video readout, checked against the transcript timestamp.
eleven of these numbers moved at or beyond the test's stated sensitivity of 5 points. six went up. five went down. that's the count. the +35 on top and the −15 further down are on the same page for a reason: i didn't move the number-that-improved to the top and hide the number-that-declined at the bottom. they are both real. whether either of them is a genuine change or measurement noise or practice effect, i can't tell you. i felt a difference before i saw the number. but i can't prove that, and i'm not going to pretend i can.
dr. hill's dec 31, 2025 zoom readout of the retest. the readout ran 33 minutes. these are his words, pulled from the transcript with verified timestamps.
[ 00:02:35 ] — dr. hill"let me get into your dataset here. we see some small changes… all those blues have… reduced. that means you're making more brain waves, basically, in the betas, which is executive and sleep, the alpha with eyes open, i saw, was more of a mood change. there's a handful of things here that are moderate changes that i'm guessing you're feeling."
[ 00:03:47 ] — dr. hill"this side had some stamina issues, though. you were kind of burning out, kevin, and kind of dipping at the end of the test, and getting more brittle, more reactive. that was happening especially a lot in the auditory… you can see here how you brought the stamina up pretty nice… having the resilience under the resource now, with the stamina there."
[ 00:07:17 ] — dr. hill"here, we actually see the auditory system that i was just showing you. in the performance, we can see it here in the beta waves, behind your left ear… that's auditory tissue… the right side, same thing, and that's more about the non-verbal information coming in from the outside world. so, when the left gets better, we get better at listening to people in a busy room, at parsing out auditory. when the right gets better, we get better at the subtlety and nuance and emotion in people's voices."
[ 00:10:04 ] — dr. hill"the other big thing we see is our frontal shift… not in beta as much, it's mostly theta and alpha. you see how the frontal lobes… had this blue, upside-down horseshoe, or horseshoe shape here, m shape, and now it's really broken up on the right, even the left is lifting… your theta's lifting off the left in relative power… the left is a happy little kid on the porch who wants to wave at the world and experience life… so your approach system appears to be waking up and being more interested in stuff around you."
[ 00:14:21 ] — dr. hill"the auditory tissue performance change on the attention test, because your auditory tissue is waking up. and the mood stuff, you can see here, too, the beta waves in the frontal lobe are less deeper blue, so more of the mood stuff, it's not as obvious."
[ 00:23:14 ] — dr. hill"it speeds up the beta a little bit, speeds up the alpha, and it should help with word finding and short-term memory right away, like, by day 2."
[ 00:28:19 ] — dr. hill"we've done a lot of executive function work, and the beta's moving. so we can do more mood and motivation work, more executive function work, but the real category we haven't gone after much is flow state, emotional awareness, access consciousness, immune support, deep healing and creativity stuff called alpha theta. that's the 40 years of zen approach, where you would do lots of alpha synchrony and alpha theta, and it brings up, like, for you, there's a target of bringing up your theta on both sides of the head, and that should give you the experience of having deep internal communication. like, literally talking to yourself deeply inside your mind… that's what alpha theta brings, but she holds you there for 20 minutes at a time."
one thing hill did not name on the qeeg during this readout: the basal ganglia. that region shows up only on the amen spect side. on the qeeg, card 4's anchor is the frontal-lobe theta/alpha horseshoe shift above — not basal ganglia.
the neurofeedback protocol. nov 10 – dec 19, 2025: 20 sessions at peak brain, bilateral c3-a1 / c4-a2, confirmed by hill on the dec 31 zoom. at that readout i proposed switching to c3-cz vertex duals for the next block and hill confirmed the switch; he also proposed a second direction, an alpha-theta block — the "40 years of zen" approach — aimed at flow state, deep internal communication, creativity, and healing. whether either block ran before i stopped in february 2026 is not something this site claims until my own record confirms it.
[ 00:01:47 ] — kevin, on dr. hill"peak brain was where i went, and doctor andrew hill, who is excellent, did a phenomenal job. broke down the qeeg, told me the results. i really wanted to see what's happening with my brain — when it functioned, what areas were hyper-functioning, what were hypo-functioning, all of those types of things. i did the neurofeedback and it's very specific when you do it with him. very specific points you find on your brain… i then did an update a couple months later, and you could see improvements and changes on it. during that time, my key metric with him is: i am looking for eight hours of unmedicated sleep. that's my north star with this treatment, and that's what we wanted to try to do."
"i am fine. i am fine. i am fine."
