Dr Ryan D'Arcy | Unlocking the Secrets of Brain Health in Mountain Biking
Today on the podcast, I got to hang out with Dr. Ryan Darcy to dive into the intersection where neuroscience meets mountain biking. Ryan’s a neuroscientist, president of NeuroCatch, and—like the rest of us—a stoked mountain biker.
We chatted about everything from the science behind flow states, personal anecdotes from Ryan's riding experiences, and actionable advice on concussion protocols and brain health. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a pro rider, tune in to learn how to ride safer and sharper.
Ryan also breaks down how NeuroCatch's portable brain scanner is changing the game when it comes to tracking cognitive function and boosting performance for riders. They recently partnered with Crankworx to prioritize brain health in Mountain Biking, and have also been working with none other than 5-time Downhill World Cup champion Aaron Gwin.
