Profile
Dr Andrew Cooke worked as an ESRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham (2010-2012), before returning to Bangor University as a Lecturer in the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences (2013-Present). His research employs a multi-measure approach (e.g., brain, eyes, heart and muscles) to investigate: a) the psychophysiological mechanisms underpinning human performance; and b) psychophysiological interventions to enhance performance (e.g., neurofeedback training). It covers a range of performance domains including sport (e.g., preparatory cortical activity distinguishes successful from unsuccessful golf putts), health (e.g., effects of neurofeedback on the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease), and transportation (e.g., effects of gaze-training on driving), and has been supported by a variety of funders (e.g., ESRC, NHS, AXA insurance, England and Wales Cricket Board).
Dr Andrew Cooke, Bangor UniversityScience is a team sport. Events and conferences that bring great minds together in inspiring and supportive environments can fuel powerful team science, driving new research breakthroughs and delivering an important competitive advantage for applied practice. Wales has world-leading expertise in performance psychology, sport, exercise and coaching science, first-rate facilities, and a spectacular natural environment to support top-class performance science events."
