A Passion Transformed into Reality
The Beginnings
In 2007, our founder, Jean-Jacques Martin, who has been passionate about information and its interaction with the human brain since his studies at the University of Geneva, explored this field from different angles. First from a literary perspective, studying the ability of words to transform individuals and civilisations, then through the prism of neuromarketing, before devoting himself fully to cognitive neuroscience. This path inspired him to found BrainCore, a company dedicated to research in the field of information.
His main passion is information as a vector for transforming neural networks and, by extension, human behaviour. Information, captured by all our senses, is what generates knowledge. Jean-Jacques Martin sees neuroeducation as a powerful lever capable of shaping each individual by developing their intelligence and critical thinking.
BrainCore embodies this vision by seeking to better understand how information, in all its forms, modifies the structure of the brain and, by extension, influences our decisions and behaviour.
