Dr Michael Keane is a Medical Doctor, a Registered Psychologist, and holds a PhD in Behavioural Neuroscience. His work focuses on understanding how brain function shapes behaviour — particularly in situations involving stress, pressure, and performance.
He has worked across clinical, academic, and applied settings, including founding multiple brain technology laboratories and contributing to research in neurotechnology and EEG.
His work involves analysing large-scale brain data and linking patterns of brain activity to real-world behaviour. He has delivered talks internationally across corporate, clinical, and performance settings, with a focus on translating complex neuroscience into clear, practical insight.
Michael works with organisations operating in high-performance and high-pressure environments, including elite sport, healthcare, and corporate leadership. This includes work within the Premier League and NFL, where understanding how the brain responds under pressure is directly linked to performance and decision-making.
His work focuses on translating neuroscience into clear insight about how behaviour and decision-making change under pressure.
At the centre of Michael’s work is a simple premise: The brain reacts quickly, automatically, and often outside of awareness — particularly under pressure. Understanding this changes how behaviour is interpreted — in ourselves and in others — particularly in high-pressure situations. This work is used to help organisations better understand performance, decision-making, and behaviour in environments where pressure is high and outcomes matter.
