Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWayne Mackey is a cognitive neuroscience founder and translational researcher with 13 years of experience probing how attention and memory support goal-directed behavior. He builds biologically-plausible computational models and applies methods from neuroimaging, lesion studies, eye-tracking, TMS, and virtual reality to map information processing in higher-order brain networks. As founder of Statespace and Founder in Residence at NYU, he bridges academic rigor with startup translation to develop interventions for disorders like ADHD, autism, and schizophrenia. His background as a postdoctoral fellow in computational neuroimaging and mentor at Endless Frontier Labs reflects a rare blend of theoretical modeling and hands-on experimental technique. Notably, he leverages tools typically used for visual cortical analysis to reveal computation in executive-control regions, aiming to turn mechanistic insight into practical treatments.
