Matthew Altobelli

Matt Altobelli is a cognitive scientist, psychology professor, and researcher with a passion for helping everyday people think better, choose smarter, and live more intentionally. With over a decade of academic and real-world experience studying how the brain processes information and makes decisions, Matt has dedicated their career to understanding how unconscious mental patterns like cognitive biases and distortions impact our lives, often without us even realizing it.

As a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Matt teaches cognitive psychology, psychological disorders, and decision-making science to the next generation of thinkers and problem-solvers. Their research spans trauma processing, AI-assisted cognitive analysis, and the role of heuristics in shaping behavior, blending rigorous science with practical insight.

The Decision Detox was born out of a deep desire to take powerful academic concepts and translate them into something real—something usable. Something that could help people stop repeating the same patterns and finally move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you're struggling with overthinking, regretful choices, or simply want to get out of your own way, Matt's work will help you understand your mind and start using it to your advantage.
