Cognitive Enhancement
Dr. David Barnet is an MIT-trained neuroscientist and neurologist specializing in cognitive performance and attention disorders. He develops science-based protocols that enhance brain function safely and effectively, cutting through supplement myths to make proven treatments accessible to all.
Description
Dr. David Barnet is a neurologist with a PhD in neuroscience from MIT, specializing in cognitive function, attention disorders, and nootropic medications. With dual expertise in clinical neurology and neuroscience research, he developed evidence-based protocols for cognitive enhancement that separate proven medications from supplement industry pseudoscience. His work focuses on optimizing brain function through safe, monitored pharmaceutical interventions.
Short History
Dr. Barnet’s fascination with the brain began during his undergraduate work in cognitive science, leading him to pursue both a PhD and MD. After completing his neurology residency at UCSF, he spent years researching cognitive enhancement in both healthy individuals and those with attention disorders. He became increasingly frustrated with the $500/month “brain optimization” clinics that sold unproven supplement stacks while proven medications like modafinil remained inaccessible due to cost. He joined PharMAX to offer evidence-based cognitive enhancement without the pseudoscience or premium pricing.
Why He Does This
science, not marketing. When prescribed and monitored correctly, these medications can genuinely improve quality of life—and everyone deserves that opportunity.
