Brice McConnell
MD, PhD
I’m Brice McConnell, a physician-scientist and behavioral neurologist with an MD and a PhD in molecular biology. My clinical work with people living with Alzheimer’s disease and my research in sleep neuroscience converge on a central question: what can the sleeping brain tell us about health?
My research combines sleep physiology with deep learning and advanced computational analysis. I develop algorithms for wearable devices to make meaningful physiological measurements accessible at home. The goal is to understand changes in brain and body health and investigate whether sleep can become a meaningful target for intervention.
