Can a tiny patch on your skin change how your brain organizes information? In this fascinating episode, Sue Hitzmann sits down with Jay Dhaliwal, founder of Super Patch, to explore the neuroscience behind haptic vibrotactile patterns — and why touch‑based signaling may influence everything from balance to mood. They break down the research, the EEG findings, the Brodmann area activation, and the surprising ways patterned touch interacts with the nervous system. Together, they explore: · what haptic vibrotactile “trigger patterns” actually are · how tactile input communicates with the brain· EEG findings showing shifts in brainwave activity · Brodmann area activation related to pain, balance, cognition, and mood · why these patches don’t use chemicals, electricity, or vibration · how patterned touch may disrupt the neuromatrix of pain · research showing improvements in balance, stability, and sleep · the future of non‑invasive neuro‑technology This episode blends neuroscience, curiosity, and real‑world application — perfect for anyone fascinated by the intersection of touch, perception, and human performance.
