Mariano Sigman is a renowned neuroscientist and physicist whose work bridges the gap between science, education, and human behaviour. His research explores how we think, decide, and learn, offering insights into leadership, decision-making, and innovation that resonate in both academic and corporate settings.
Mariano began his academic journey with a master’s degree in physics from the University of Buenos Aires before earning a PhD in neuroscience at Rockefeller University. There, he studied how the brain organises complex functions such as perception, memory, and cognitive control. His postdoctoral work at the Collège de France in Paris deepened his exploration of decision-making and consciousness. In 2006, he founded the Integrative Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Buenos Aires, where his team has made significant contributions to understanding human cognition and behaviour.
Mariano’s work has earned him prestigious accolades, including the Human Frontiers Career Development Award, the National Prize of Physics, and the Young Investigator Prize from the Collège de France. He is also a Laureate of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, an honour recognising his global impact on science and society. Beyond academia, he has directed large-scale projects such as the Human Brain Project, where he leads research into decision-making and its practical applications.
A co-founder of Sigmind, Mariano is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to develop tools that assist mental health professionals in diagnosing and tracking patient progress. His research has practical implications in fields ranging from education and healthcare to the arts, where he collaborates with creatives to explore the intersections of science and culture.
Mariano’s unique perspective, combining rigorous scientific expertise with accessible storytelling, offers audiences fresh insights into how understanding the brain can transform the way we lead, learn, and connect with others.
