The innovation is to provide a management solution to the ageing demographics across Europe and the world through an evidence-based approach with high efficacy.I am creating a neurocognitive model of motor learning representation for the elderly, using supervised machine learning with electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral data to predict cognitive and motor states. This project will use two different forms of meditation to obtain greater learning outcomes in a shorter timeframe for the elderly. It is predicted that elder adults with individualised training will gain benefits such as improved balance control for falls prevention. Show less

As Director of Prime Your Mind Now, my life goal is to help you reach your upmost mental and physical potential. I love to investigate the mind using naturalistic and non-medicinal approaches such as meditation. The thoughts reflected here are my own or in collaboration with trusted partners. Enjoy my insights on the mind.

I conducted experiments using brain imaging techniques in the form of MEG and EEG. My expertise lies in understanding movement disorders and intervening to improve motor performance. Understanding brain signals will help to decipher the problems with movement representation in the brain.

I teach the principles of yoga and meditation to other yoga teachers. My specialization is in the cognitive enhancements stemming from these practices for cognitive control that lead into daily activities.
