Computational cognitive neuroscientist | Expert in EEG, statistics & data analysis

Profile Summary

Computational Cognitive Neuroscientist | EEG Specialist | Data Analyst I am a computational cognitive neuroscientist with a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Cambridge (completion June 2025) and extensive expertise in the study of altered states of consciousness, particularly the neural and phenomenological effects of psychedelics. My work integrates advanced EEG methodologies, data analysis, and programming to uncover the brain's dynamic activity patterns during complex cognitive states. Core Expertise: - EEG Data Analysis: Comprehensive experience in preprocessing, artifact removal, and advanced signal processing techniques. - Programming and Automation: Proficient in Python and MATLAB for data processing, visualization, and statistical modeling. - Machine Learning and Feature Selection: Skilled in implementing machine learning techniques for neural data. - Neurophenomenology: Specialized in combining subjective experience measures with neural data to explore the dynamic relationship between brain activity and consciousness. - Statistical Expertise: Advanced knowledge of parametric and non-parametric statistics, linear mixed models, and ANOVA for neuroscientific research. Key Achievements: - Conducted a groundbreaking study on the neural correlates of DMT-induced altered states, leveraging EEG measures like permutation entropy, lempel-ziv complexity, oscillatory power, and connectivity. - Developed and implemented robust Python/MATLAB pipelines for real-time and offline EEG data analysis in complex experimental paradigms. - Presented research findings at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, highlighting my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. Consultancy Services: - EEG experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation. - Custom Python/MATLAB script development for neural data analysis. - Machine learning applications for neuroscience. - Statistical consultation and visualization for academic and industrial projects. - Training and workshops on EEG methodologies and data analysis. - Write literature reviews for a product or service you provide. - Write whitepapers for a product or service you provide. - Discuss the logistics of projects including milestones. - Present results to clients as a representative of the company/organisation. I am passionate about bridging academic insights with practical applications, helping businesses and research teams leverage cutting-edge neuroscience methods to drive innovation. Whether you need assistance with data analysis, experimental design, or interpreting complex EEG data, I bring a collaborative and results-driven approach to every project.
