James Allister Odd is an Oregon investigator, digital-forensics examiner, interdisciplinary researcher, photographer, and author. He leads NTRLNK, an investigative and forensic practice, and founded OMAT Institute, an independent research program examining music, information, and cognition.
His new book, The Pink Elephant Problem, examines what happens between seeing and believing—how information becomes accepted truth, public authority, and consequence. He is also the author of The Hidden Shape of Music and The American Guide to the Laws of Cricket.
Across his professional and research work, he is concerned with how evidence is separated, tested, interpreted, and communicated without reducing a complex record to one convenient conclusion.
