Sapien Labs is a research organization based in Arlington, VA that focuses on understanding and tracking the evolving brain and mind of humanity. Through their Global Mind Project, they analyze mental wellbeing across the globe and identify key socio-cultural factors to address the generational decline. They also establish Centers for Human Brain and Mind, which bring together cross-disciplinary perspectives and data acquisition infrastructure to study how our environment impacts brain physiology and mental outcomes.
With a cross-disciplinary approach to research, Sapien Labs develops new tools for measurement, signal processing, and data analytics to understand the relationship between environment, brain, and mental outcomes. Their research findings indicate that mental wellbeing in young adulthood improves with older age of first smartphone ownership, while suicidal thoughts and intentions decrease significantly with older age of smartphone acquisition. They also highlight the decline in mental wellbeing among younger generations globally and the importance of close relationships with adult family members and friends for better mental health.
