Sophia Snipes

I am a postdoc specialized in EEG signal analysis during sleep. I found a new brain wave during REM sleep, iota, and I'm currently investigating its relationship to development and aging. I did my PhD in Zurich, with Prof. Reto Huber, and have been working with Thomas Andrillon since 2024. I currently have a two year SNSF Postdoc.Mobility fellowship to conduct my research in Paris.
