Nicco Reggente

Nicco Reggente is a Lecturer at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Research Director at the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies (IACS). His work integrates cognitive neuroscience, meditation studies, and technodelics using neuroimaging, neurofeedback, and machine learning to advance well-being and adaptive belief systems. He also explores VR-based memory enhancement and prognostic neuroimaging for treatment prediction.

Research Interests:

• Decoding meditation depth via EEG and fMRI
• Neural mechanisms of aesthetic chills and emotional experiences
• Developing Neuroprint protocol for individualized brain response characterization
• Non-invasive tFUS neuromodulation of subcortical regions
• VR-based cognitive enhancement and memory rehabilitation

Labs & Projects:

As Research Director at IACS, he leads initiatives combining EEG, fMRI, DTI, and tFUS with machine learning to create personalized neurofeedback systems. The institute focuses on democratizing non-ordinary states of consciousness through experiential technology.
