Matthew D. Sacchet is a neuroscientist, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and Director of the Meditation Research Program at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital ("Mass General").[1] His research focuses on advancing the science of meditation and includes studies of brain structure and function using multimodal neuroimaging, in addition to clinical trials, neuromodulation (neurofeedback and neurostimulation), and computational approaches (e.g., machine learning).[2] He is notable for his work at the intersection of meditation, neuroscience, and mental illness.[3] His work has been cited over 6,000 times[4] and covered by major media outlets including CBS,[5] NBC,[6] NPR,[7] Time,[8] Vox,[9] and The Wall Street Journal.[10] In 2017 Forbes Magazine selected Sacchet for the “30 Under 30”.[3]
