Dr. Irhose Apori

Of humanity's mental treasures, there's perhaps none as great as curiosity. The ardent desire to discover, learn, and find answers to meaningful questions. I live and work daily to help guide humanity's curious adventures on a predictable path, defined by self validating principles called axioms.

If you didn't understand the paragraph above, it's fine. I was just trying to say that I help people use their curiosity to produce predictable results in any field.

My pursuit of curiosity was kickstarted by my late dad, Prof. Kwadwo Antwi Apori, on my 15th birthday. He gifted me a book by Charles Darwin titled The Voyage of the Beagle. He wrote a sweet and destiny defining note on the first page, “What better gift to give a curious young mind, than this work by one of history's greatest minds”. And that was it for me. Everything about the note and the book screamed unbridled possibilities.

Charles Darwin's voyage was fueled by curiosity, but he needed sound science to validate many of his findings. I knew that if I was ever going to be a transgenerational phenom, I'd have to embrace science backed curiosity. Here I am, years later, doing all of my favorite things for a living; neuroscience research, machine learning, and teaching.

I am Dr. Irhose Apori and I'm a cognitive and computational neuroscientist. I'm the founder and Chief Scientist at tenexcel., the Human Intelligence Enterprise.

Over the past decade, I have developed methodologies, products, and mental models, including The Mental Capacity and Adaptability Test (MenCAT) — a specialized intelligence test that assesses core skills for the AI era — The Principle Driven Thought Formulation Methodology, The Causal Reasoning Engine (CaRe Engine™), and a host of other sciencey stuff.

I write essays on the science and philosophy of the human mind, articles on intelligence (man and machine), and whatever else tingles my curious mind.

When I'm not writing an algorithm, I'm very likely reading a comic or playing Monopoly with my wife.
