Frederick S. Starr, MD, FAACAP, is a computational neuroscientist who has been active in the fields of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and neurofeedback since 1990. He sees patients at Myneurva Brain Centers in Hackensack, New Jersey. 

Dr. Starr formally began integrating neurofeedback into clinical practice in 2003 and went on to pioneer large-scale Remote Neurofeedback in 2006, expanding access to innovative brain-based therapies well before telehealth became mainstream. As the founder of Myneurva Holdings, DE, he is also the inventor of a novel system and method for collecting and analyzing EEG data, for which he was awarded a U.S. Patent in 2020.

His professional mission is deeply personal. His eldest daughter, Anna, suffered from medication-resistant epilepsy, and her condition inspired his lifelong commitment to advancing brain imaging and neurofeedback technologies for individuals with complex neurological and psychiatric disorders. After Anna’s tragic passing from a fatal seizure in 2008, he embarked on a profound personal journey that took him from northern Maine to Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. These experiences broadened his understanding of the global burden of mental illness and strengthened his resolve to develop more accessible, effective solutions.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Starr has been recognized as one of the “Fifty Pioneers in Neurofeedback” by peers in the field for his role in innovating remote neurofeedback delivery.

Dr. Starr earned his MD from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed postgraduate training at Columbia University, Boston University Medical Center (Adult Psychiatry), and Vanderbilt University (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Chief Fellow).

Dr. Starr lives in New Jersey with his wife and three daughters. An avid ocean sports enthusiast, he enjoys sharing his love of the sea with his family. He also speaks Spanish, studies Mandarin, and has a deep interest in international cuisine and ancient history.
