Stefano Ferraina
Professor of Human Physiology, I'm a systems neuroscientist and neurologist by training. My current researches include the study of the cognitive aspects of motor control and the neural correlates of hierarchical learning in human and non-human primates. I'm also interested to multidimensional signal analysis and to the progress of neurotechnologies for developing innovative brain-computer interfaces.
Marco Filardi
Marco Filardi, Ph.D., is a Senior Assistant Professor of Experimental Psychology in the Department of Italian Language, Literature, and Arts in the World at the University for Foreigners of Perugia (Italy)
His research interests involve sleep and circadian rhythms in clinical (e.g., primary sleep disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders), and non-clinical populations (e.g., children, adolescents, and elderly), sleep methodology (e.g., multisignal wearables, actigraphy, non-linear movement analysis, PSG, signal processing), neuroimaging correlates of sleep disturbances and cognitive deficits in sleep disorders and neurodegenerative conditions.
Eleonora Fiorenzato
Dr. Eleonora Fiorenzato is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Padova, Italy. Her research aims at investigating the interplay between cognitive as well as behavioral disorders in Parkinson’s disease, with a particular interest to the brain imaging changes associated with these deficits.
Dr. Fiorenzato's main scientific interest is to identify biomarkers of cognitive decline in neurodegenerative disorders (such as, Parkinson’s disease) by combining clinical, cognitive and neuroimaging data (i.e., structural MRI, resting-state fMRI, PET) to identify different trajectories of disease progression.
Nick Fogt
Dr. Nick Fogt is a professor at the Ohio State University College of Optometry in the USA. His work is primarily in eye movements, head and eye coordination, and sports vision. He teaches courses in eye movements, retinal disease, and systemic disease.
Lasse Folkersen
PhD in genetics from Karolinska Institute, Sweden. Research according to an overarching theme of my research is the use of high-throughput omics to bridge the gap between research and medicine. My initial interest was in expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), and their possibilities for translating genetics to medical use. This followed a further step into actual industrial drug and pharmacogenetics development from the technique, performed at Novo Nordisk, Denmark. Current interests focus on further translation of main genetics results into actual use both in the clinical context of response stratification and in the industrial context of drug development.
Karl J. Friston
Karl Friston is Professor of Imaging Neuroscience/Wellcome Principal Research Fellow, Faculty of Brain Science, University College London. In 2000 he was President of the international Organization of Human Brain Mapping. In 2003 he was awarded the Minerva Golden Brain Award and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006. In 2008 he received a Medal, Collège de France and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of York in 2011. He became of Fellow of the Society of Biology in 2012.
Dorota Frydecka
Dorota Frydecka M.A., M.Sc. Eng., M.D. Ph.D. specialist in psychiatry/
I am currently working as a psychiatrist, lecturer and researcher at the University Hospital in the Department of Psychiatry, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland. Additionally, I work at the Department of Psychology as well as at the Institute of Health Psychology. My main interest is genetics, epigenetics psychoneuroimmunology and computational modeling of cognitive functions using artificial neural networks.
Tamsin C German
Tamsin German studied Experimental Psychology at Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford, earning her B.A. in Experimental Psychology (1991), before moving to London to study at the Medical Research Council Cognitive Development Unit and the Department of Psychological & Brain sciences, University College London. She earned her Ph. D. in Psychology (1995). After a short appointment as a visiting Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Cognitive Science at Rutgers University during 1995 and a first faculty position at the Department of Psychology, University of Essex, UK, from 1996-2001, Tamsin accepted her current position at UCSB.
Alfonso Gil-Martínez
Dr. Alfonso Gil-Martínez is Academic Vice President, Full Professor and Researcher at La Salle Higher Center for University Studies (CSEU), Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM); Physiotherapist Consultant and Researcher in the La Paz University Hospital (HULP) #IdiPAZ; and Director del Experto #fitemyc y #CranioSPainRS.
Charles GIllespie
I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry (M.D., Ph.D.) and the Associate Director of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry at Emory University. My clinical work focuses on the treatment of mood, anxiety, and stress/trauma-related disorders in adolescents and young adults. My primary research interest is the study of the psychobiology of trauma and stress across the lifespan. In addition to the complications of trauma-related psychopathology (post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, personality disorders, and substance abuse), individuals exposed to trauma also often bear a heavy burden of stress-related medical illness including obesity, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Impoverished minority populations in particular are at high risk for trauma exposure and have limited access to behavioral and medical healthcare. My current research focuses on the genetic mechanisms, environmental exposures, and stress pathobiology that contribute to risk for these disorders with particular emphasis on diabetes mellitus.
Tugrul Giray
I am a scientist working and living in Puerto Rico. I value enthusiasm about discovery, and the collective nature of scientific enterprise. I also hope that what we learn in the process is going to be used to improve our lives.
I am a Professor within the Biology Department at Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Rio Pidras.
My research focus is social insect behavior. I study evolution and genetics of physiological mechanisms of behavior to understand integration of individuals into the functional social insect colony.
Leonardo L Gollo
Leonardo is a Senior Research Fellow with training in Neuroscience and Physics. He works on Neuroscience, Computational Biology, Connectomics, and Complex Systems. His research focuses on computational and mathematical models of brain function.
