Annemarie Wolff is an empirical and computational neuroscientist based in Montréal.
She develops electrophysiological biomarkers and quantum-computational methods to understand brain dynamics in Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
Her current work investigates how chronic stress shapes neural and physiological signatures across the lifespan.
Currently a CanNRT Fellow at Université de Montréal and CHU Sainte-Justine in Montréal, Qué.
Psychiatry lacks the objective biological markers that define the rest of medicine. This forces clinicians to rely on subjective symptom checklists and trial-and-error treatment.
Annemarie's research aims to change that.
Her work spans three areas. First, she discovers and validates quantifiable EEG signatures of psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental conditions. Second, she applies normative modeling to large-scale neuroimaging datasets to characterize sex differences in autism and ADHD. Third, she develops and evaluates quantum computing algorithms for analyzing human brain data. This work is done as a member of the IBM Quantum Healthcare and Life Sciences Working Group and is funded through Les Fonds de Recherches de Québec.
Together, these lines of work are building toward the central goal of linking real-time neural and autonomic signatures to long-term health outcomes in Neurodevelopmental disorders.
