Measuring the mind — from brainwaves to machines.

I'm a clinical neurotechnology practitioner and founder. For over a decade I've worked at the place where the brain becomes measurable: 3,000+ brain maps, 20,000+ neurofeedback sessions, and now the systems — human and artificial — that turn that measurement into change. This is where I write under my own name.

The throughline

One question, followed across five lives

Every chapter has chased the same thing — if you can't measure it, you can't change it — through whatever medium would carry it next.

What I've been saying out loud

Manufactured Doubt: how one ADHD trial became a weapon against neurofeedback

A $2M, double-blind, top-journal study concluded neurofeedback "fails." I think it was built to — and that it follows the playbook the tobacco industry wrote. A signed analysis, conflict of interest disclosed, every fact sourced.

How I think

Three things I keep coming back to

"If you can't measure it, you can't change it."

"Go to the source, not the symptom."

Function over label — RDoC over DSM.
