The Institute for Performance Neurology offers consulting services grounded in the Performance Neurology framework. Whether for an elite athlete, a performing artist, an individual seeking cognitive optimization, or an organization pursuing a competitive edge, the starting premise is the same: the brain is the most important organ in human performance, and it deserves the same systematic attention as everything else.
Every engagement is built on the integration of neuroscience, motor learning research, cognitive psychology, sleep science, and preventive neurology, tailored to the specific demands of the individual or organization.
Specialized consulting for each domain of human performance.
Neurological performance optimization across motor learning, perceptual training, performance under pressure, sleep and recovery, cognitive sharpness, attentional control, and long-term brain health. Whether the goal is shaving milliseconds, eliminating performance breakdowns, or extending a career, the starting point is the same: understanding what the nervous system is actually doing and intervening accordingly.
Skill acquisition, practice optimization, performance anxiety and stage fright, creative access, and sustaining abilities across a performing career. The demands on a performing artist's brain are extraordinary and extraordinarily specific. Performance Neurology provides the neurological framework to address them systematically rather than through guesswork and conventional wisdom.
Evidence-based guidance for anyone seeking to optimize cognitive function, learn more effectively, or protect brain health. The brain optimization marketplace is vast and largely unregulated, filled with apps, supplements, devices, and protocols of wildly varying quality. The institute provides the scientific expertise to navigate that landscape and design protocols grounded in what the research actually supports.
Consulting for sports organizations, performing arts institutions, and other high-performance entities seeking to integrate neurological optimization into their programs. From team-wide cognitive assessments to organizational training design, the institute partners with organizations that recognize the brain is not a detail to be addressed after everything else but the foundation on which everything else rests.
Every engagement follows the same systematic process, tailored to individual or organizational needs.
Performance Neurology applies the same clinical logic used throughout neurology: identify the problem, determine the mechanism, design the intervention, and monitor the outcome. The difference is the domain. Instead of diagnosing disease, the focus is on identifying the neurological factors shaping performance and designing evidence-based strategies to optimize them.
A comprehensive neurological evaluation of the individual or team, examining cognitive function, motor control, sleep architecture, attentional patterns, stress physiology, and the specific performance demands of the domain. The goal is a clear picture of where the nervous system stands and where the opportunities lie.
Identifying the specific neurological factors at play. Is the performance breakdown a routing problem, an arousal regulation issue, a consolidation deficit, or something else entirely? The diagnosis determines everything that follows and distinguishes this approach from generic optimization advice.
A tailored protocol built on the diagnosis. This may include modifications to training or practice structure, sleep optimization strategies, attentional training, arousal regulation techniques, cognitive enhancement protocols, or any combination the assessment indicates. Every recommendation is grounded in the research literature.
Ongoing tracking of outcomes and adjustment of the protocol. The nervous system adapts, demands shift, and the intervention evolves accordingly. Progress is measured systematically, and the approach is refined as needed, maintaining the same diagnostic rigor throughout the engagement.
