Brain Tech Clinic

Muddsar Hameed

Director

As Director of institute, which focuses on optimizing brain health and well-being through robust research and clinical practice, I am deeply committed to exploring the most sophisticated creation of nature the human being and its most intricate organ, the brain. With a strong foundation in psychology and hands-on experience in neuroscience, my work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the mind’s complexity and its profound connection to behavior. I aim to translate scientific insights into practical interventions, particularly in the areas of addictive behaviors, executive functioning, memory, decision-making, and sleep.

My research integrates fundamental psychological science with emerging neuroscience techniques and computational modeling to address real-world challenges. Rather than adhering to a single theoretical lens, I employ diverse methodologies tailored to each specific research problem. This multidimensional approach allows me to investigate the brain and mind from multiple angles—enabling discoveries that not only advance scientific understanding but also lead to tangible clinical outcomes. I develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that bridge clinical practice and research.
