Dr A. E. Du Beau, PhD, MS, BS, is a neuroscientist with special expertise in forensics. Neuroscience investigates all aspects of the brain’s functionality, inclusive of neurochemical and anatomical processes that underlie behavior, perception, cognition, mentation and consciousness.
Dr Du Beau’s neuroscientific expertise includes altered states of consciousness and sleep, alcohol blackout, psychoactive drugs, traumatic brain injury, memory processes, intentionality, violence and criminality.
For contrast, psychologists and psychiatrists are clinicians who are principally focused on the mental state of any given patient, diagnostics and establishing a therapeutic relationship. Conversely, neuroscience uses an analytical approach to understanding how the brain works.
Dr Du Beau’s doctoral research at the prestigious University of Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom) investigated the neurochemical properties of neural systems using an array of sophisticated laboratory, surgica...

I am a Cognitive Neuroscientist specializing in memory, learning, and decision making. I provide expert witness testimony on the complexities of eyewitness accounts, including issues related to false memories, the misattribution effect, memory reconstruction, and the inherent susceptibility of normal memory recall to error.
I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University and have published extensively in leading scientific journals such as Nature Neuroscience and Nature Communications. My dissertation focused on the retroactive modulation of memory, exploring how memories can be altered by events that follow their initial encoding.
Decades of research have shown that when we recall an event, memory is not replayed perfectly like a video recording. Instead, the brain reconstructs the memory each time it is remembered, relying on associative processes. This reconstruction makes memory—and therefore eyewitness testimony—vulnerable to errors and biases. Despite strong scienti...
