Dr. Habeck originally trained as a Particle Physicist in the UK, completing this studies with a PhD in 1998 from the University of Sussex. During the last years of his graduate training he became interested in the Neurosciences, leading him to move to the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego in 1998, spending 2.5 years pursuing large-scale neural networks models of the cat thalamocortical system as Postdoctoral Fellow under the guidance of Gerald Edelman. In 2000, Dr. Habeck moved to Columbia University and joined the Cognitive Neuroscience Division of the Taub Institute. He specializes in multivariate data analysis of PET and fMRI brain imaging data for the purposes of basic research and early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease. His general interests concern robustness and replication of empirical inference in neuroimaging.

In addition, Dr. Habeck has been studying the advancement in the use of psilocybin for clinical depression and it's effects on the brain.

His research and passion have been essential to help develop and guide the scientific approach to the FUSION protocol.
