Professor Harris A. Eyre, MD, PhD, is Senior Fellow for Brain Health and Society at Rice University’s Office of Innovation and a global leader in neuroinnovation and brain economy policy. He pioneered the brain economy framework—an economic transition that prioritizes brain capital: the integration of brain health and brain skills to drive societal resilience and inclusive growth. His work spans the OECD, Brookings Institution, and World Economic Forum, catalyzing multi-sectoral action. Dr. Eyre’s work explores the convergence of brain and nature economies, highlighting how cognitive resilience, ecological stewardship, and regenerative systems co-create sustainable futures. His work illuminates how investing in brain capital can unlock nature-positive innovation, enabling circularity not just in materials—but in minds, communities, and planetary well-being.
