About Stefanie Faye

About me...

I'm a neuroscience specialist and educator focused on improving life outcomes for diverse populations by giving actionable and engaging neuroscience education that transforms mindsets and behaviors.

I'm a former researcher and have spent parts of my career measuring electric conductance of the skin (GSR), facial electromyography (EMG), and heart rate.  My most current work has been with assessing and analyzing quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), rhythmic sinus arrhythmia (heart rate variability), and administering neurofeedback, and transcranial magnetic stimulation for clinical treatment at an intensive outpatient mental health clinic. 

My graduate research at New York University and fieldwork at the NYU Phelps lab for neuroscience research, the NYU Institute for Prevention Science and Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine focused on the cross-section of self-directed neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, family emotional climates, and empathy. 

My clients include MIT, Google, Stanford University, the FBI, Northwestern University, Alberta Children’s Hospital, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, as well as therapists, coaches, educational consultants, district superintendents, CEOs, yoga instructors, osteopaths, and many more.

I also currently work at a neuropsychology clinic, where I focus on brainwave training (neurofeedback), biofeedback, eye movement for attention/focus, cognitive training and brain maps (qEEG) for clients ranging from small children to older adults, with a variety of challenges including ADHD, anxiety, sleep issues, traumatic brain injury and social-emotional-communication challenges.

For the past decade, I've been teaching and consulting in countries all over the world by combining scientific insights and my training in monasteries with meditation masters from India, Africa and Vietnam. 

I am also a former intelligence analyst, and a Master Faculty instructor and researcher at Google, where I have consulted on and facilitated global workshops on the Science of Learning and Mindset in London, Chicago, Tel Aviv, Munich and Singapore.
