Meet Your Presenter: Dr. Irena O’Brien, PhD

Dr. Irena O'Brien is a Cognitive Neuroscientist and has been studying psychology and neuroscience for over 25 years. Her first career was as a chartered accountant but it had lost meaning for her and she went back to university. In her first semester back at Concordia University, she took her first neurobiology course and thought her mind had been let out of a box. That started her love affair with neuroscience and the brain.

She went on to obtain a PhD at the Université du Quebec à Montréal (UQAM) where she did brain imaging and electrophysiological studies followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Language, Mind and Brain at McGill University.

She founded The Neuroscience School in 2017 offering a Certificate Programme in Applied Neuroscience - and now teaches coaches and helping professionals the basics of neuroscience and how students can apply the practical, evidence-based tools and strategies they learn with their clients.
