Sophia Sanborn is co-director of the Enigma Project, co-founder of Metamorphic, and an Assistant Professor at Stanford University.

I study intelligence in search of the principles that govern perception and cognition. My work combines large-scale neural data, foundation models of the brain, automated scientific discovery, and neuroscience theory to uncover those principles and put them to use in artificial systems.

I believe in doing science at scale, collaboratively, and in environments where basic research and application strengthen each other.
