BRAIN MAP

1
See How Your Brain Is Wired

Your brain shapes how you think, feel, focus, connect, and respond — every moment of your life. This assessment gives you insights into how your brain functions so you can make important decisions about how to improve your brain and your life.
2
Welcome to the BRAIN MAP Assessment!

This self-assessment is designed to help you explore how different regions and rhythms of your brain may be functioning — based on your lived experience.

It’s surprisingly fast, intuitive, and built to provide meaningful insights you can use right away.

Estimated Time: 15 minutes

Goal: A clear and thorough understanding of how your brain functions

My Story

Growing up, my older brother was fascinated with space: LEGO sets, Star Trek, and dinner-table conversations about “the final frontier.” One night, when I was about five, I asked what that phrase meant. My parents explained that space was the last thing left to explore. Disappointed that my brother had already claimed the final frontier, I asked if there was anything else left to discover. After thinking for a moment, they said, “Well, we still don’t really understand the brain.” Looking back, I think that was the moment I chose my life’s direction.

I was raised in a home steeped in science. My parents, a doctor-chemist and a nurse practitioner-pharmacologist, had me peering through microscopes before I could ride a bike. By my early teens, I was reading graduate-level textbooks, swabbing blood agar plates in the kitchen, and running a small mouse lab out of our basement.

My dad used to joke that we’re basically “a meat chassis for a nervous system.” While I’ve come to see humans as much more than our biology, that line stayed with me, because it captured something profound: everything we experience, feel, and become begins with the brain.

Over time, that childhood fascination evolved from cells and circuits to consciousness and change: to how thoughts, emotions, and physiology weave together to create our experience of being human. That curiosity led me through psychology, philosophy, communication, the Socratic method, neurobiology, applied neuroscience, and finally to EEGs and neurofeedback. After more than a decade of studying the brain and reading thousands of hours of EEGs, what moves me most is still the same truth that inspired me as a child: the greatest frontier isn’t out there in the stars...it’s right here, within us. The brain holds extraordinary wisdom, if we learn how to listen.

Why I Created BRAIN MAP

I created BRAIN MAP to make self-understanding more accessible, human, and empowering. After more than a decade studying the brain and thousands of hours interpreting EEGs, I’ve come to deeply trust what the brain reveals, and what it’s capable of when we learn to listen. Whether through coaching, neurofeedback, or biofeedback, I’ve seen again and again how self-awareness tools act as the mirrors that we need to change everything.

This assessment helps strengthen what’s called your interoceptive awareness: your brain’s ability to sense and interpret signals from within your own body and mind. In an age where we’ve grown dependent on the flashes, beeps, buzzes and screens of technology to tell us how we feel, we risk losing that inner calibration. I believe it’s vital that we reclaim it. Not everyone has access to a skilled practitioner or a QEEG, but everyone deserves to understand their own brain...to see its patterns, its rhythms, and its potential. That’s why I built this: to help anyone, anywhere, explore their mind from the inside out.

What This Assessment Does

This tool helps:

Identify functional patterns across major brain regions
(based on Brodmann areas, neural networks, and hemispheric specialization)

Suggest where brainwave activity may be over- or under-activated
(across delta, theta, alpha, SMR, beta, and gamma frequencies)

Act as a qualitative analog to a QEEG (quantitative EEG), using lived experience to suggest patterns that might correspond to electrical activity seen in brain mapping

Support reflection and guide next steps like neurofeedback, coaching, or lifestyle adjustments.

This assessment is not a medical or psychological diagnosis. It is an informational tool designed to promote self-awareness, insight, and informed discussion.

Let’s Get Started

This assessment is structured in two parts, a neurological assessment section, and a habits and demographics section.

You’re about to begin the first section of questions.

These will explore how your brain may be functioning in areas like:

Focus and attention

Memory and learning

Emotional regulation

Movement, coordination, and sensory processing

Please answer intuitively and honestly — there are no wrong answers. Your responses will guide personalized insights and support deeper understanding.
