Prof. Joseph Glicksohn is the Head of the Research Lab of the Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center in Bar-Ilan University, Israel. He was trained in cognitive psychology (MA, PhD), with a focus on the study of subjective experience--and in particular, the microgenesis of cognition and consciousness, namely the microdevelopmental unfolding of cognition, whose earlier products, if forced into existence by whatever experimental (or natural) means, bear the hallmark of the type of cognition that one encounters in altered states of consciousness.

Prof. Narayanan Srinivasan is currently a Professor and Head of the Department of Cognitive Science, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He did his undergraduate degree in Physics from Madras University and Master degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He did his PhD in Psychology at University of Georgia, Athens, USA. He uses multiple approaches to study mental processes and has wide ranging interests in cognitive science and seem to be (accidentally!) getting involved in projects in different areas of cognitive science.
