BH

Biyu He

Associate Professor of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Radiology · New York University

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Neuroscientist studying the neural mechanisms of conscious perception, particularly how the brain makes decisions at perceptual thresholds and the role of spontaneous neural activity in shaping awareness.

New York, NYWebsite
GR

Gavin Rees

Professor of Cognitive Neurology · University College London

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Cognitive neuroscientist studying the neural basis of visual awareness, attention, and how brain structure relates to individual differences in conscious experience.

London, UKWebsite
HL

Hakwan Lau

Team Leader, Consciousness and Cognition · RIKEN Center for Brain Science

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Neuroscientist working on higher-order theories of consciousness and perceptual reality monitoring. His research uses neuroimaging and computational modeling to understand how the brain generates subjective experience.

Wako, Japan
LM

Liad Mudrik

Professor of Neuroscience · Tel Aviv University

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Cognitive neuroscientist studying the neural mechanisms of consciousness, integration, and volition. Co-leads adversarial collaboration COGITATE project testing consciousness theories.

Tel Aviv, IsraelWebsite
LM

Lucia Melloni

Research Group Leader · Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics

ConsciousnessNeuroscienceNeuroimaging

Neuroscientist leading adversarial collaboration COGITATE project testing IIT vs. GWT. Studies neural underpinnings of perception and consciousness.

Frankfurt, GermanyWebsite
MW

Melanie Wilke

Professor of Cognitive Neurology · University Medical Center Goettingen

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Neuroscientist studying the neural correlates of visual awareness using neuroimaging and lesion studies, focusing on how subcortical structures contribute to conscious perception.

Goettingen, GermanyWebsite
OB

Olaf Blanke

Professor of Neuroscience · École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Neuroscientist who studies the neural basis of bodily self-consciousness, including out-of-body experiences, which he can experimentally induce using virtual reality and brain stimulation. His work bridges neurology with consciousness research.

Lausanne, SwitzerlandWebsite
RY

Rafael Yuste

Professor of Biological Sciences and Neuroscience · Columbia University

ConsciousnessNeuroimagingNeuroscience

Neuroscientist who co-launched the BRAIN Initiative and develops technologies to map and manipulate neural circuits. His work on neural ensembles is foundational for understanding the brain-basis of consciousness at the circuit level.

New York, NYWebsite
VL

Victor Lamme

Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience · University of Amsterdam

NeuroimagingConsciousnessNeuroscience

Neuroscientist who developed the recurrent processing theory of visual consciousness, arguing that recurrent (feedback) neural activity is both necessary and sufficient for conscious experience, independent of attention or report.

Amsterdam, Netherlands
