I regularly speak at academic, industry and nongovernmental organisation workshops and seminars.
I speak about the brain systems supporting learning, memory, cognition and decision-making and the brain systems affected by stress, anxiety, depression and motivation.
I also explore the application of brain and behavioural science within businesses and organisations, and have written a contracted book in this area (‘A Brain for Business – A Brain for Life‘).
Broadcast Media: I have appeared on many broadcast media stations (radio, televeision, podcast) over the years. These include RTE, BBC, Newstalk and CBC among others.
Here are a few pieces:
