Dr. Simon B N Thompson is an Associate Professor at Bournemouth University and a Visiting Professor at Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense. As a member of the International Scientific Council for Research into Multiple Sclerosis, his work bridges neuroscience, endocrinology, and clinical diagnostics through the Thompson Cortisol Hypothesis.
- Key Research Focus: Cortisol-yawning connection, brain thermoregulation, and MS-related fatigue.
- Methodology: fMRI studies, electromyography, and international comparative analysis.
Scientific Contributions: Proposed cortisol as diagnostic biomarker for neurological disorders and developed protocols for yawning-related stress response. Current projects aim to create early MS detection systems using cortisol metrics.
Awards & Collaborations:
- Santander Travel Scholarship
- International partnerships with Princeton University, Bard College, and French MS Society
- Collaboration with Dr. Andrew Gallup on yawning mechanisms
Public Engagement: Featured in New Scientist and multiple international conferences (Paris, Dubai, New York). His work has been presented to the French Ambassador and received cross-disciplinary support from the MS Society Osborne Centre.
