Cecilia Mazzetti has a background on translational neuroscience. She obtained her PhD at the Donders Institue for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Netherlands), with a thesis on the structural and functional underpinnings of attention in the brain. Afterwards, she worked as postdoc researcher at the Campus Biotech in Geneva (Switzerland), working on a neurofeedback protocol for rehabilitation of visual attention in post-stroke patients, by means of multimodal (fMRI-EEG) imaging. In march 2022, she joined Braincredible, a Swiss neurotech startup, spinoff of ANT neuro, which aims at removing the barriers to the exploitation of big brain data, by providing services such as deployment of multiple EEG systems in EU and worldwide.
EEG is a neuroimaging technique which has been allowing researchers to make significant progress in the neuroscience field, producing numerous brain datasets and precious insights in the clinical field. However, EEG has a scaling problem due to expensive equipment, complex logistics and limited accessibility: this puts an upper limit on the amount of EEG data researchers can collect. In turn, this severely constrains the power of studies and the benefit they can deliver. Braincredible provides easy access to large numbers of EEG systems and accessories for the duration of a study. In August 2022, Braincredible supported a study led by Spanish researcher Gustavo Diex and his team at the Nirakara Lab. Their goal was to assess whether it’s possible to have positive impact on people coping with severe stress in an intensive six-day meditation retreat and investigate the epigenetic, psychological, neurological changes related to the meditation treatment. A total of 50 participants signed up for the project in the El Escorial Monastery, in Madrid. Using multiple high-density EEG systems and relying on support staff from Braincredible they were able to record 150 datasets in the span of a couple of days, without compromising on data quality
