Cognitive neuroscientist and writer | Expertise in psychedelics, consciousness, meditation, and psychology

Profile Summary

Cognitive Neuroscience | Psychology | Psychedelics | Consciousness | Mental Health | I am a PhD student currently studying cognitive neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. I received my BSc Psychology (1st Class) from the University of Sheffield and my research master's in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Amsterdam (GPA: 8.6; Cum Laude). During my master's I broadly worked on cognitive (neuro)science, gaining a fundamental grounding in a variety of methods that serve as the foundation for the field. At my time here, I worked on computational neuroscience, the neuroscience of psychedelics, the cognitive neuroscience of meditation, and, more broadly, researched in the field of consciousness. Currently I am a PhD student at the Consciousness and Cognition Lab at the University of Cambridge. Here I am working with electroencephalography and phenomenological methods to understand what's going on in the brain, and in people's subjective experience, during breathwork, psychedelics, and meditation. I am collecting and working with large empirical datasets, and process these large neural and quantitative multivariate phenomenological datasets using MATLAB. Within my PhD, I am also personally managing the several projects that are ongoing, and so have experience in ensuring the correct feasibility and scope of each project. Outside of academia I am a freelance writer, specifically focusing on the subject of psychedelic science. I have a large portfolio of articles I have previously written on my Medium page, where I have amassed 16k followers (https://evan-lhealey.medium.com/). I have also worked as a freelance scientific consultant for a psychedelic drug development company, NeonMind Biosciences. I provide consultancy services for clients that are seeking information in the field of psychedelics, consciousness, the science of meditation, and cognitive neuroscience/psychology more broadly. Within this scope of consultancy I can: - Write literature reviews for a product or service you provide - Write a whitepaper for a product or service you provide - Discuss the logistics of projects including milestones - Analyze (large) datasets - Present results to clients as a representative of a company I also provide writing services that range from academically inclined to science communication. I pride myself in my excellent ability to be able to translate technical findings to a wider audience. My academic knowledge dwells primarily in the field of cognitive neuroscience and psychology, with extensive knowledge in: psychedelics, mental health, meditation, and consciousness.
