Penijean is a neural frequency analyst and published author who rides motorcycles, drinks tea, and designs therapeutic applications for emerging neurotechnology.
As a licensed mental health clinician, she constructs closed-loop EEG-based feedback paradigms that alter neural dynamics in real time, helping people to recover from injury and trauma or improve cognitive flexibility and adaptive cascades. Penijean’s groundbreaking work has led to industry-wide changes in neuromodulation and is the basis for current standards in international certification. Her passions include spectral analysis, donuts, and taking things apart to see how they work. She regularly collaborates on the wild and weird, exploring how much we can really learn about the subjective human experience by measuring and observing biometric data. In one of her recent projects, she investigated brain patterns associated with heartbreak and designed a feedback paradigm to help increase resiliency in romantic relationships.
