Ford Burles, PhD
Cognitive Neuroscientist | Neuroimaging & Machine Learning Specialist | Performance Consultant
With over a decade of experience in neuroscience research, technology development, and high-performance cognition, I offer consulting services to help your organization leverage cutting-edge tools and scientific insights. My expertise spans neuroimaging, machine learning engineering, server architecture, and cognitive performance enhancement, with a special focus on healthcare and high-performance optimization.
Areas of Expertise
- Neuroimaging Pipelines and Research
- I specialize in designing and implementing comprehensive pipelines for neuroimaging research, including data acquisition, processing, and advanced analysis. My services are applicable across healthcare, neuromarketing, performance diagnostics, and academic or industry research.
- Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence in Neuroscience
- With hands-on experience in machine learning, I provide consultation on applying ML techniques (segmentation, classification, dimensionality reduction) for neuroimaging and cognitive science. My focus includes integrating AI and ML applications to enhance diagnostic tools and optimize performance in healthcare settings.
- Field Neuroscience
- I bring specialized expertise in ambulatory EEG and integrating multimodal biometric data collection for real-world applications, including cognitive assessment in remote environments. Solutions are tailored for unique operational contexts, such as spaceflight, sports, and specialized training environments.
- Space Health and Extreme Cognition
- I have extensive experience working with astronauts, performing cognitive neuroscience research in space health, and investigating how spaceflight impacts brain structure and function, and spatial cognition.
- Custom Cognitive Task Development
- I develop fully customizable cognitive tasks for research, assessment, or performance enhancement. These tasks can integrate behavioral data with concurrent EEG, fMRI, or multimodal inputs (eye tracking, video, and other devices), and are adaptable for web use with server integration.
- Cognitive & Performance Enhancement
- I offer strategies and interventions based on spatial cognition training, mental rotation exercises, and neurostimulation. Whether optimizing performance in athletes or enhancing cognitive abilities in high-stakes environments, I bring a deep understanding of how targeted techniques can boost human potential.
