Co-Founder | Cognitive & Performance Assessment Specialist
Dr. Nicolson Siu Yat Fan is a neuropsychologist and lecturer at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with a PhD in Neuropsychology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He brings extensive experience in neuropsychology, cognitive development, assessment, and brain-based interventions to AMindset Performance Unlimited (APU).
At APU, Nicolson focuses on the cognitive and neurological factors that contribute to effective performance. His work explores how attention, executive function, decision-making, cognitive control, and emotional regulation influence an individual’s ability to perform consistently in sport, education, and other high-performance environments.
Nicolson has extensive experience working with children and adolescents, particularly in the area of cognitive and executive function development. His expertise in neurophysiological methods, including electroencephalography (EEG), allows him to examine brain activity and its relationship with behaviour and cognitive performance. At APU, this knowledge contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the mental processes involved in concentration, reaction, decision-making, and performance under pressure.
His work at APU reflects the organisation’s multidisciplinary approach to performance, connecting psychological, cognitive and neurological insights to practical performance development. By understanding how the brain supports performance, Nicolson helps individuals develop greater awareness of the cognitive skills that underpin learning, training, and high-level performance.
