This week, we’re diving into Dr. Steven Rondeau’s October 2025 paper“Demand Task Cognitive Slowing: EEG Theta or Delta Increase During Cognitive Tasks.”

In this episode, we discuss what happens in the brain when cognitive demands increase — why processing slows down, how EEG reveals shifts in theta and delta brainwave activity, and what this means for performance, fatigue, and cognitive control.

It’s not Dr. Steve speaking in this episode, but a discussion and breakdown of his published work, exploring how cognitive load and neural activity interact under pressure.

Tune in for an insightful look at how brainwave data helps us understand the hidden costs of mental effort — and why slowing down might say more about your brain than you think.
