About
Andrew Steven Neff earned his Ph.D. in Translational Neuroscience studying interactions between the gut and brain. He spent four years teaching psychology and neuroscience at Emory University and Indiana University, including courses in Introductory Psychology, Clinical Neuroscience, and EEG, before returning to Michigan to live and raise his kids near friends and family.
His work centers on neuroscience education, classroom assessment, and emerging neurotechnology. He is the author of Fundamentals of Biological Psychology: A Critical Perspective, published by Cambridge University Press, and has conducted empirical research on classroom practices, including experiments on grade breaks or ungrading. He is especially interested in wearable technology, particularly EEG, and in how portable brain-recording tools might expand psychological research beyond the lab and into the real world. He is also both enthusiastic and extremely confused about how to incorporate AI into the undergraduate classroom.
