About Justin Nichols, Ph.D.
Founder and CEO, Zencora Neuro

With over a decade of experience in neuroimaging and neuromodulation, I’ve had the privilege of working at the cutting edge of neuroscience, exploring how technology can shape the future of wellness. Initially, I approached sound therapy with skepticism, unsure of its ability to interact with the body in a scientifically measurable way. However, through rigorous research and personal experience, I came to recognize that sound and vibration can profoundly support relaxation, mental clarity, and overall well-being—acting as an accessible form of neuromodulation.

At Zencora, we’ve taken a deep dive into optimizing how sound and vibration interact with the body from a neuroscience and body physics perspective. Our proprietary IP brings new precision to this interaction, offering unmatched neuroimaging integration options for more personalized wellness experiences. Zencora technology, once reserved for high-grade research applications, is now available for the home, spa, and clinic alike—bringing this transformative experience to more people than ever before.

My Ph.D. research focused on leveraging the vagus nerve for brain plasticity, and my contributions to the neurobiology of stress and brain health have earned over 500 citations in peer-reviewed academic journals. I’ve seen firsthand how impactful these technologies can be for well-being—both in my research and within my own family. Now, through Zencora, my mission is to make these benefits widely accessible and help more people find balance, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
