Dr Jack Lewis has a First Class degree in Neuroscience from Nottingham University and earned his PhD from University of London using fMRI brain scanning to investigate multisensory perception – specifically investigating where in the human brain what we see is integrated with what we hear. His most recent research in multisensory neurobiology was conducted at the Max Planck Institute in Germany and was published in the Journal of Neuroscience in September 2010.

In his most recent project for television Dr Jack presents “The Tech Show” (airs in summer 2011), a 26 part series showcasing the latest developments in science, technology and engineering for Discovery Science.

Jack co-presented Sky One‘s primetime series “Body Language Secrets“and presented Sky One’s “Naked Britain”, a series which took a light-hearted look into British attitudes to nudity.

Jack also provides neuroscience consultancy services to TV, PR, Marketing and Advertising firms and helped to design the games for Five’s“Britain’s Best Brain”, and developed a science-based 3D feature film for Blink Films; doing for the brain what “The Great Sperm Race” did for the story of conception.

Jack’s first presenting job was a 20-part social psychology series for BBC2 called “The People Watchers”, where he performed a wide variety of social psychology experiments on unsuspecting members of the public. Previously, he was the science consultant for a feature-length, Emmy Award winning documentary for Channel 4 and National Geographic, which described the biological processes that take place “Inside the Living Body” from birth until death.

Other television credits include Jack’s contribution to the 5-part strand ‘Teen Club’ for This Morning and a 3-part prime-time ITV series called “How to Get More Sex”.

Dr Jack also designed a Brain Gym in Central London, where he tested the brain power of the public, offering advice on how to improve memory and decision making strategies. Most recently he has launched a series of live presentations “Brain Coach Live!” aimed at variously: 1) school kids about to sit exams, 2) university students, 3) corporate business people or 4) elderly audiences. The purpose of the presentations is to cover various ways in which a person can optimise the functionality of their brain using memory tricks , techniques for minimising and harnessing stress, a brain-focused explanation of why practice makes perfect and a range of practical tips on how to boost general brain health.

Dr Jack writes a daily #Braintweet and a monthly blog on his website: www.drjack.co.uk. He has also appeared on various regional and national radio stations discussing subjects such as the effects of partying hard on the human brain, different types of decision making strategies and how the brain’s response to beauty can be influenced by factors other than physical appearances. He has also contributed to the health/science pages of the Mail on Sunday and London Lite.
