Dr. Anna Maria Matziorinis

Founder & Director

Dr. Anna Maria Matziorinis is the Founder and Director of Hidden Information Labs, where she leads cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience, computational modeling, and artistic expression. She earned her PhD from the University of Bergen, where her doctoral research advanced predictive brain modeling for early detection of neurodegenerative conditions. Her work focused on how music therapy and physical activity impact neural plasticity and cognitive resilience, resulting in computational frameworks that detect subtle structural brain changes years before traditional diagnostic methods.

At Hidden Information Labs, Anna Maria explores the frontiers of neuroeconomics, neuroaesthetics, and social network theory. Her research investigates how artistic engagement—particularly through film and music—shapes cognitive function and can buffer against cognitive decline. She has also contributed to the development of blockchain-secured provenance protocols, designing systems that reflect how the brain naturally assigns value, builds trust, and preserves memory. These protocols provide a neuroscience-informed foundation for validating and circulating artistic works in digital ecosystems.

Anna Maria and her research collaborators continue to push the boundaries of interdisciplinary science, bridging rigorous methodology with creative innovation. With expertise in EEG, neurotech, neurodegenerative disease, pedagogy, and applied mathematics, she brings a systems-level perspective to cognition and culture. Through her leadership at Hidden Information Labs, she is redefining how we understand—and design for—the complex relationship between brain function, social systems, and long-term cognitive health.
