Compassion is rooted in our neurobiological evolution as tools for survival to be a part of a group. Today’s conversation will be an exploration into the overview of this field and looking at current research.
Panelists: Tracy Brandmeyer
Moderators: Tom Eddington, Carson Kelly
Convener: Jim Garrison
Tracy Brandmeyer, Ph.D.
Dr. Tracy Brandmeyer is an American Neuroscientist and Chief Science Officer at BrainMind where she coordinates and oversees scientific operations and research ventures of the organization. Her scientific career has focused on the development of innovative scientific methods to study and promote human flourishing. Over the last two decades her research has explored the neural and physiological mechanisms underlying attention and emotion regulation, and the development of novel neurophenomenological methods for studying meditation, closed-loop BCI systems, and altered states of consciousness. She is also a research scientist at the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies, serves as a scientific advisor to Lionheart Ventures, and advises several early stage startups in the neuro and biotechnology sector.
Tracy completed her postdoctoral training in Integrative Neuroscience at UCSF, a PhD in Neuroscience at the CNRS in France, and a MSc in Neuropsychology at the Donders Institute, in the Netherlands. Throughout her doctoral studies she conducted her field research and trained in monastic lineages in the northern Indian Himalaya, where she led an international collaboration studying the electrophysiological correlates of mental states arising from a variety of contemplative traditions. She was awarded a three-year NIH research grant at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine to pursue the translational features of her research for clinical, neurotechnological, and biomedical applications and interventions. She joined the BrainMind team as CSO in Spring of 2021.
Nicco Reggente, Ph.D
Nicco Reggente is a neuroscientist and co-founder of the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies where he currently serves as Principal Investigator. The overarching theme of his research is the development of neuroimaging-informed, personalized neurotechnology to help individuals achieve desired outcomes. Nicco’s research has spanned the domains of memory, consciousness, and psychiatric disorders. His current focus is on leveraging immersive technology to induce maximally beneficial qualia (e.g. meditative, entheogenic states) that can be captured and re-instantiated via neurofeedback.
