Elliot Crooks.

I am a physician-scientist in training at Case Western Reserve University, completing a dual MD/PhD with a focus on neuroscience. My work sits at the intersection of psychiatry, neuromodulation, and the question of what it means to intervene in the human mind.

I am pursuing psychiatry residency at MGH–McLean Hospital with an emphasis on interventional approaches — TMS, ECT, and emerging neurostimulation modalities — alongside a deep commitment to psychoanalytic thinking and the relational dimensions of care.

My research examines how targeted electrical and magnetic stimulation can modify memory, mood, and cognition — and what the limits and ethics of those modifications might be.
