Emmanuel Mignot, MD, is a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He is internationally recognized for discovering the cause of narcolepsy. His research focuses on the neurobiology, genetics, and immunology of narcolepsy, a disorder caused by hypocretin (orexin) cell loss, with an indirect interest in the neuroimmunology of other brain disorders. Currently, Dr. Mignot is interested in analyses involving statistics and machine learning of polysomnography, clinical and biological data, including the combination of EEG, wearable biosensors, and genetic datasets.
