About Kyle Bills, DC, PhD
Kyle Bills is a neuroscientist, clinician, inventor, and published researcher whose work focuses on understanding how the nervous system responds to mechanical stimulation—and how those insights could lead to new approaches to neurological and behavioral health.
Dr. Bills holds a PhD in Neuroscience from Brigham Young University and a Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University. He completed an NIH/NCCIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship at BYU and clinical training at the Dallas VA Medical Center. His research has spanned neuromodulation, dopamine signaling, opioid use disorder, chronic migraine, traumatic brain injury, metabolic health, and artificial intelligence.
As Chief Scientific Officer of NeuroNova, Dr. Bills helps lead the science behind the company's neuromodulation technology and its translation from laboratory research into real-world applications.
He also serves as Associate Dean of Research at Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, where his research focus includes neurohealth and musculoskeletal technology.

Key Topics & Conversation Starters
Dopamine is more than the “pleasure chemical”
What neuroscience actually tells us about dopamine, motivation, reward, behavior, and addiction.
Can we influence the brain without touching the brain?
Exploring how stimulation of the body can produce measurable effects within the central nervous system.
Your nervous system is listening to your body
What mechanoreceptors can teach us about communication between the body, spinal cord, and brain.
Rethinking addiction through neuroscience
What dopamine circuitry and decades of addiction research can teach us about dependence, withdrawal, and recovery.
What if neuromodulation didn't require surgery?
The growing field of non-invasive approaches to influencing nervous-system activity.
The science of vibration
Separating decades of neuroscience research from the hype surrounding consumer wellness technology.
From a neuroscience lab to a real-world technology
What it takes to move an idea through university research, patents, NIH-funded studies, clinical research, and commercialization.
Why migraines may be more than a headache
Emerging research into glucose regulation, metabolism, and chronic migraine.
AI is changing medical research
Where machine learning and artificial intelligence could meaningfully change how researchers study health and disease.
The next frontier of neuromodulation
Where neuroscience, engineering, personalized medicine, and non-invasive technology may converge.
