Books by
Dr. Ken To

Neuroscience applied to movement, markets, decision-making and human performance.

Dr. Ken To’s books explore how the brain shapes performance in very different arenas: the golf swing and the financial markets. Both books bring neuroscience out of the laboratory and into real-world decision-making, skill development and disciplined execution.

The books

Two fields.
One mind.

A practical exploration of the brain in performance, from the markets to the golf swing.

Myths Behind the Market Mind

Trading Neuroscience examines the hidden mental patterns behind financial decision-making. The book explores how perception, prediction, uncertainty, reward, fear and memory influence the way traders interpret markets. Rather than presenting trading as a purely technical exercise, it looks at the brain as the centre of market behaviour — where discipline, bias, emotion and timing all interact.

This book is for readers who want to understand the market mind more clearly: why traders hesitate, overreact, chase movement, hold losing views, or lose discipline under pressure. It connects neuroscience with trading psychology in a practical and accessible way.

Neuroscience

A Shaft-Centered Model

Golf Swing Neuroscience introduces a neuroscience-based way of understanding the golf swing. Instead of treating the swing only as a mechanical sequence of body positions, the book looks at how the brain perceives, organises, coordinates and refines movement.

The shaft-centered model provides a clear framework for understanding timing, control, body awareness and club movement. It is written for golfers, coaches and serious learners who want to understand the swing from the perspective of the nervous system, not just from traditional swing theory.

About Dr. Ken To

The discipline
behind performance.

Dr. Ken To is a neuroscientist, author, former PGA golf professional and former Army officer. He trained as an officer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and holds the designation of Golf Stroke Engineer Master (GSEM) from The Golfing Machine.

His work connects neuroscience with golf performance, financial decision-making, health communication and artificial intelligence. Across his books and wider projects, Dr. To focuses on how the brain controls movement, judgement, learning and performance under pressure.

He is the author of Trading Neuroscience and Golf Swing Neuroscience, two books that apply neuroscience to real-world performance: one in the financial markets, and one in the golf swing.
