Summary
Chris Forsythe is a cognitive scientist and technology leader with over three decades of research and applied experience, currently serving as Chief Scientist at Quantum Kingdom where he designs multiplayer games that non-invasively measure and train teamwork-relevant cognitive skills. He previously spent over 20 years as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, developing adaptive systems that capture and leverage individual differences to enhance human performance. As founder of the Brain Hackers Association, he translated that research into practice by running large-scale STEM and metacognition programs for youth, reaching over 1,200 students across New Mexico. Chris blends deep neuroscience and neuroergonomics expertise with product-minded development of training technologies and augmented cognition, and he teaches seminars on everyday applications of brain science for both professionals and children. A PhD in cognitive psychobiology underpins his work, and his current focus uniquely marries game design, operational neuroscience, and measurable performance enhancement.
