Sigi Hale
/ Neuroscientist, co-founder Mindful Awareness Research Center, UCLA /

T. Sigi Hale, Ph.D is a Co-Founder of UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center and a Post-doctoral Fellow in Neuroscience at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute.  His research explores the implications of human beings possessing two distinct and specialized brain hemispheres. In particular, he studies how atypical cerebral asymmetry contributes to the diversity of intelligence styles among human beings as well as psychopathology. Outside of science, he has been a life long practitioner of martial arts and various mindfulness practices. He currently operates a sports training program that teaches mindfulness and ‘physical intelligence’ to young athletes with aspirations to become professional soccer players. In the near future, he hopes to participate in the development of a movement-based mindfulness curriculum that can be evaluated as a potential component of an intervention treatment for ADHD and other disorders.
