Mariano Sigman is one of the most outstanding neuroscientists in the world. He deals with complex questions such as the role of the subconscious, the origin of our thoughts and decision-making. The multi-award-winning scientist provides astonishing answers with his research.

Mariano Sigman was born in Argentina and grew up in Barcelona, Spain. He earned a master’s degree in physics at the University of Buenos Aires and a doctorate in neuroscience in New York. In 2006, he founded the Integrative Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Buenos Aires, an interdisciplinary group in which physicists, psychologists, biologists, engineers, educational scientists, linguists, mathematicians, artists and computer scientists work together.

Based on his lab’s research, Sigman explains, for example, why people who speak more than one language are less prone to dementia or how we make decisions and trust our judgments.
Over the course of his impressive 20-year career, Dr. Sigman has explored the inner workings of the human brain, cultivating a remarkable interdisciplinary vision and deciphering the cerebral processes that control how we learn, think, feel and dream.
