Bringing brain science to the people since 2008 through books, blogs, keynote talks, PR campaigns, podcasts, radio days and TV series for BBC, Sky, Discovery, Curiosity Stream and more…
A very warm welcome to my website, where I’ve been posting brain blogs every month for over a decade.

In a nutshell, since completing my PhD in neuroscience in 2005, I’ve been doing everything in my power to make brain science more interesting, accessible and applicable to lives of the general public through TV, radio, books, podcasts and talks.
I regularly help brands with public relations campaigns by finding exciting new insights into how our brains work in the latest neuroscience and psychology literature to support press releases and radio days. Dozens of business case studies outlining the work I’ve done for countless top brands are available via my Neuroformed Ltd consultancy website.
As a motivational speaker I’ve given brain talks on decision making (helping Deloitte to add £100M to their bottom line), innovation and how to reduce stress, build resilience and improve cognitive abilities at Annual General Meetings and industry conferences for dozens of businesses and professional organisations across every sector.
Since early 2025, I started delivered my brand new keynote on “gen brAIn” – outlining the evidence so far regarding our brain’s innate capacity for change, the impact of technology on the brain and how best to use generative Artificial Intelligence to gain all the advantages without falling foul of several potentially devastating drawbacks.
Here’s what one happy customer had to say:
I would like to recommend Dr Jack Lewis. We chose Dr Jack to be the lunchtime speaker at our Smartcomm Technology Day earlier this year. He engaged with our audience really well and his presentation was filled with useful information, hacks and ‘aha’ moments.
His talk was so engaging there was a queue of attendees wanting to chat with him afterwards. Dr Jack kindly stayed behind to chat with our guests, which made their day extra special.
I’ve also written several books including a best-selling business book (Sort Your Brain Out) and a couple of pop science books (The Science of Sin and the Mice Who Sing For Sex).
I’ve also presented many science TV shows that have aired on the BBC, Discovery and Sky, plus two series of The Secrets of the Brain which are available, on demand, wherever you are in the world, via Curiosity Stream and Amazon Prime.
I’ve appeared as a brain expert in a few documentaries (such as the multi-award winning caution against screen overuse I Am Gen Z) and prime-time TV shows like Duck Quacks Don’t Echo, Ranganation and Celebrity Big Brother.
In clip that follows, I help Rylan understand what’s going on in his celebrity contestants’ brains. I was surprised by his enthusiasm for neuroscience but, then again, he’s smarter than he lets on…
The next clip was a fantastic project to be a part of, as it merged my two major passions in life: brain science and virtual reality. We used virtual reality to take a volunteer on a voyage inside their own brain in a short film for the gambling charity GamCare to help people understand some of the process that lead to addictive behaviour…
