Dr. Curtis Cripe – On the Leadng edge of Neuroengineering Curtis Cripe is a man of science and that has been a constant throughout his public career. Today, Curtis Cripe is the Research Director at the NTL Group, Inc., in Scottsdale, Arizona. This research center is focused on pushing the envelope on treatments for brain-based dysfunction. The work that is done there by a group of healthcare professionals and dedicated researchers drive new changes in treatment options and techniques for those who struggle with such afflictions as addictions, traumatic brain injuries, and neurodevelopmental delays. Dr. Curtis Cripe leads in a field where he combines the scientific application of neuroscience technologies with the principles of neuro-engineering towards the ultimate goal of developing new processes, new programs that are on the cutting edge, and new techniques for cognitive rehabilitation. Dr. Curtis Cripe espouses the across the board benefits of implementing a system that identifies problems early and efficiently. Dr. Cripe feels this is a fundamental and critical task to aligning the right solution with the right problem. Among these practices are NeuroEval, NeuroCodeX, and NeuroCoach – each with a specific stage and goal in mind. NeuroEval is focused on collecting brain processing data through neuro-imaging techniques and cognitive elements. That data leads to the stage known as NeuroCodeX which analyzes this data and references other normative data. From there, the picture becomes clearer, showing the results in a way that narrows the treatments down to the NeuroCoach program where treatment begins. These treatments have turned up some interesting findings and statistics over the years, and the NTL Group has delivered programs and processes that have supplemented various therapies in practices across the country as well as being utilized as programs on their own. Dr. Cripe is constantly producing written authoritative materials on these topics and they are reviewed by many in the industry, and he has achieved a commanding position of respect as a researcher in the disciplines of neuroengineering and behavioral medicine. That kind of leadership in a cutting-edge industry can only be achieved by an unending drive to excellence and attention to news and developments that emerge from the field. Dr. Curtis Cripe comes from a diverse scientific and professional background. He holds a high amount of scientific accreditation and was once an aerospace engineer. He earned a bachelor of science in aerospace engineering and a master of engineering degree from California State Polytechnic University. He went on to achieve a graduate degree and a PhD in health psychology and behavioral medicine at Northcentral University. His achievements as an aerospace engineer include a role in the first successful interplanetary landing of the Viking 1 spacecraft on the planet of Mars in 1976.
