About

Dr Michael Keane is a Medical Doctor, with a PhD inBehavioural Neuroscientist and a Neurotechnology expert. He is a former University Lecturer, founder/co-founder of five start-ups and three university brain technology laboratories for investigating brain function. He is widely published, including the most recent clinical guidelines for EEG and technology-assisted therapy for the Psychiatry Clinics of North America (textbook to be published in 2025), and a reviewer for several academic journals. He has pioneered the latest advances in 3D functional brain imaging and brain optimisation technologies to image thousands of brains, allowing people to see inside their own brains and get real insights into who they are and how they work. Michael’s 1000s of hours of linking brain function to behaviour, in sports professionals, musicians, surgeons, and clinical populations make him an authority in the area of Neuroscience.  

Michael works a wide portfolio of global corporate organisations, provincial and international athletes, pilots, surgeons, musicians and leadership teams, including within the English Premier League, NFL, NBA, UFC and International Rugby. Using Neuroscience education, brain imaging and interactive brain technologies, Michael works with these professionals to foster a deeper understanding of the mechanics, capabilities and potential of the human brain.

A prominent public speaker and authority on leadership, stress and peak performance in Europe, the US and Asia, Michael combines an acclaimed academic and clinical track record with humour and an engaging, authentic style to make Neuroscience accessible and compelling to global audiences.

The essence of Michael’s work is anchored in the premise that we have an ‘old brain for a new world’. Whilst our brain has evolved over millions of years into a finely-tuned supercomputer, it is not built to deal with the demands of modern society. For so many, this results in prolific overwhelm, stress and anxiety. Bringing deep insight into how brain mechanisms can be exploited to equip people to live, work and relate more effectively, Michael is emerging as a thought leader in how we can use Neuroscience to empower resilience and wellbeing.
