SAPIEN LABS Centers for Human Brain And Mind

Embedded within Universities, the Sapien Labs Centres for Human Brain and Mind run ongoing programs for large-scale acquisition of brain EEG and mind health survey data to understand how changing social, cultural, environmental and technological factors impact brain physiology and mind health.

In addition, we undertake selective collection of urine, blood and other physiological samples to understand the impact of nutrients and toxic chemicals in our food and water on brain physiology and mind health.

CROSS-DISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES

Faculty and researchers with diverse domain expertise from neuroscience, cognitive science, psychiatry and psychology to data science, dynamical systems, complex systems, nutrition, toxicology and health policy to bring a broad and varied perspective to the data.

STRATEGIES FOR LOCAL IMPACT

The Centers disseminate country specific insights and engage with the government and nonprofit sectors to develop and test interventions and solutions.
