From compulsive behaviours like scrolling, spending, exercising, to substance use, Nick’s PhD research takes audiences behind the curtain of human behaviour, showing how easily our minds get hooked – and how freedom is possible.
By using artificial intelligence and machine learning models that he has personally built to spot the hidden signals of obsession and disengagement, Nick is uncovering insights that challenge the way we think about resilience, recovery, and choice.
