Sandi Chapman

Sandra Bond Chapman, Chief Director of Center for
BrainHealth® at The University of Texas at Dallas and Dee
Wyly Distinguished University Professor in the School of
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, has devoted her career to
measuring and enhancing human cognitive capacity and the
underlying brain systems across the lifespan.
Dr. Chapman is co-creator with 32 of the world’s leading brain
health experts of The BrainHealth® Project, focused on doubling
peak brain performance, inoculating against decline, and
extending brain capacity to match our longer lifespan.
With 30,000 participants from the U.S. and 60 countries, the Project has established one of the richest
longitudinal data sets in the world, showing that people of all ages and backgrounds can optimize their
brain health with simple, sustained steps. Measured by a first-of-its-kind composite BrainHealth Index,
and validated by more than 1000 fMRI scans, the Project’s digital assessment and training platform
motivates improvement in three broad domains: clarity, connectedness and emotional balance.
With more than 50 funded research grants and 250+ peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Chapman is
committed to democratizing access to proven brain health strategies and tools to achieve for brain
health what has been done for heart health. Her work is transforming how we care for our brain before
something goes wrong, removing stigma, and elevating brain health with scientifically validated
measurements, interventions and practices.
