His Research Interest Score of 21,000 places him well within the top 1% of Neuroscientists worldwide.Stephen is one of those rare academics who has succeeded as an entrepreneur. In 2013 he founded NeuroTest Pty Ltd to market his intellectual property, the Subtle Cognitive Impairment Test (SCIT) (see https://www.neurotest.com), a sensitive online test of cognitive performance. A decade later, NeuroTest Pty Ltd continues to grow and is a tangible example of translational research, where basic research has made the difficult journey through the 'valley of death' and into the marketplace. Licenses to use the SCIT have been purchased by researchers and commercial companies in the healthcare sector in Australia, USA, China, UK, NZ and the Netherlands.Stephen is now 'semi-retired' and focusses on writing papers, public speaking and advisory roles.
