    neurotherapy that will go down in fame. By thus author's estimation, as well as many others, he is the world's leading EEG expert. He has read well over 500,000 EEGs in his time, likely closer to 750k or one million (since he stopped counting in
    the early 90s).</p>
<p>He was raised in Fargo, North Dakota, to a family that made a fortune in the seed business. Much of his biography is available to us in video format:&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of Jay's seminal contributions to the field has been he addition of common EEG patterns, what he calls the Phenotypes.&nbsp; Here is a short video on one of Jay's seminal theories, that of the 11 types of phenotypes:</p>

<h3>Reading the Raw EEG</h3>
<p>Jay was the first person to receive the Quantitative EEG Diplomacy status. He is the field's leading authority on reading the raw EEG. Jay has emphasized that because the QEEG map relies on a fast Fourier transform to understand the wavelets as frequencies, its application assumes a stable state, but fails to account for morphology, therefore,&nbsp; the understanding of the raw data is first and foremost to understanding a patient's symptomology.&nbsp; Chapter 6 on Patient / Client Assessment in this course covers, in depth,&nbsp; the raw EEG and morphological considerations of many disorders common to neurotherapy.</p>
<p>Jay has been many students go-to guy for interpretation of the raw EEG throughout the course of his career. He is now retired, living in Suisun City, California, although he still sees mentees online to go over raw EEGs.&nbsp;</p><br>
