Received my Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Sydney in 2003. It focused on using the recent advances in the brain sciences to provide a new approach to explaining human intelligence. This approach was accepted for publication in The Psychological Review, often considered to be the most prestigious peer-reviewed psychology journal in the world. This publication led to the American Psychological Association and American Psychological Society issuing press releases publicizing this work, indicating its importance to the general public. Wrote my book to bring this new approach to the general public.
