Work With Us

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.

Who the Institute Works With

Specialized consulting for each domain of human performance.

Athletes and Athletic Organizations

Players who dominate in practice and disappear in competition. Training investments that don't transfer to game day. Coaching communication that inadvertently fuels the problems it's trying to solve. Performance breakdowns after errors that turn minor mistakes into cascading collapses. These are neurological problems with specific mechanisms, and they require neurological solutions. Performance Neurology provides the diagnostic framework to identify what's actually going wrong for each individual and the targeted interventions to address it.

Most individual athletes begin with a Performance Neurology Evaluation. Organizations typically start with a keynote or workshop.

Corporate and Executive

Executives who know the material but stumble under pressure in board presentations, investor pitches, and high-stakes negotiations. Training programs that feel productive but produce poor retention and transfer. Decision-making that degrades under stress in ways that cost the organization money. Burnout cycles that erode the cognitive capacity of your most valuable people. Performance Neurology applies clinical neuroscience to these problems with the same diagnostic rigor a neurologist brings to any other brain-related issue.

Individual executives typically begin with an Evaluation or Ongoing Partnership. Organizations often start with a keynote presentation or team workshop.

Musicians and Performing Artists

The piece you've played a thousand times that falls apart on stage. The dread that builds for days before a performance. The running internal commentary that never stops evaluating your playing. The plateau that won't break no matter how much you practice. These aren't character flaws or talent gaps. They're specific neural mechanisms that can be identified and addressed.

Most musicians begin with a Performance Neurology Evaluation. For those dealing with performance anxiety, the Institute also offers the Lose Yourself program, a structured six-week course built on the Access pillar of the framework.

Individuals and Lifelong Learners

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.

Individual engagements begin with a Performance Neurology Evaluation tailored to your goals.

How We Work

Every engagement begins the same way: we identify the specific neurological mechanism behind the problem before prescribing anything. This is the diagnostic approach of clinical neurology applied to performance. What differs across engagements is the scope, duration, and format.

Tier 1

Performance Neurology Evaluation

A comprehensive diagnostic assessment for an individual performer. The evaluation maps your performance problem across contexts, timelines, and conditions, screens the biological factors that affect performance (sleep, stress, autonomic function), and narrows the problem to a specific diagnosis.

You receive a written diagnostic report explaining the failure mechanism, compounding factors, and a targeted intervention plan. A follow-up session reviews the findings and ensures the plan is actionable.

Timeline: Two to three sessions over two to four weeks, plus report delivery and follow-up.

Tier 2

Evaluation and Ongoing Performance Partnership

The full diagnostic evaluation plus continued clinical guidance as you implement the plan and navigate real-world performance challenges over time. Sessions address real situations as they arise. The diagnosis and plan are updated as compound patterns emerge or conditions change.

This is not motivational coaching. It is clinical guidance from a neurologist who understands the mechanisms behind your performance and can adjust the strategy as conditions change.

Structure: Three-month or six-month blocks. Evaluation completed in the first month, with ongoing sessions (typically biweekly or monthly) beginning immediately after.

Tier 3

Team and Organizational Engagements

Presentations, workshops, and consulting partnerships that bring the Performance Neurology framework to teams, organizations, and institutions.

Keynote presentations introduce the framework and change how people think about performance, practice, pressure, and the brain. Adapted to the audience's domain.

Workshops provide hands-on training in specific areas: the failure routes that cause choking under pressure, practice design for more efficient skill acquisition, pre-performance routines and why they work. Half-day or full-day, built around interactive exercises.

Consulting partnerships embed the framework within an organization's existing training and development infrastructure, including team-wide assessments, training design, and ongoing advisory relationships.

For Practitioners

The Institute is building the infrastructure for coaches, sports psychologists, trainers, music educators, and clinicians to apply Performance Neurology in their own work. This includes a clinical handbook with a complete diagnostic framework, a certification program, and a professional community.

These resources are currently in development. If you work with performers and want to be notified when they become available, leave your email below.
