Stephanie holds a Physics degree from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is currently working as a doctoral fellow for the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) at the Laboratory of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (www.cocucolab.org) at the University of Buenos Aires. There she is investigating the effects of altered states of consciousness in the brain, experimentally as well as with semi empirical models of the brain. She is particularly interested in states elicited by serotonergic psychedelics in natural environments.
