Gabriella obtained her PhD at KULeuven in the Laboratory for Cognitive Neurology. Currently, she is a FWO Postdoctoral Researcher at KU Leuven. Her research program focuses on leveraging the huge advances in Natural Language Processing in computational sciences to address the neurobiology of sentence processing.

Doris investigates macro-scale brain architectures using fMRI and simulations to create personalized virtual brains. During her PhD, she characterized rule representations in the human brain. As a postdoc, she focused on social cognition in collaborative tasks (University of Milano-Bicocca), strategic games (University of Minnesota), social learning (University of Trento) and human-robot interactions (Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin).

Ana Luísa graduated in Eng. Physics at IST (Lisbon, PT). She studied functional imaging and cognitive neuroscience during her PhD at Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, SE) and, after, worked on the application of data-science techniques to fMRI data as a Postdoc at Inria (Paris, FR). She is now working on the development of atlasing methods to map cognition, with a particular focus on the encoding of music in the cortico-striatal-cerebellar network.

Paola's research focuses on understanding the impact of expectations on spatial attention by combining computational modelling of behavior with fMRI and TMS. During her PhD in cognitive neuroscience at SISSA (Trieste, Italy), she investigated the neural correlates of gesture imitation.

After a PhD in France and postdocs in California and Quebec, Valentina is starting as an Assistant Professor at the University of Geneva, focusing on the neurobiology of language and semantic knowledge.

Irene's work explores brain and behavioural correlated of individual differences in language learning abilities and how multilingual experience impacts dyslexic readers. She is working on her PhD at the University of Fribourg and the University of Geneva. She is also passionate about science communication, particularly working on scientific activities for children, and open science.

Karin Grasenick (Dr.tech.) has a background in biomedical engineering and social sciences. She is the founder and the CEO of convelop – cooperative knowledge design gmbh, specialised in the process design and evaluation of RTI related strategies and measures. Her specific focus is thereby diversity, inclusion and interdisciplinary collaboration, topics she lectures at several universities.

Ginevra is a final-year MSCA PhD Fellow working between Germany and France, and doing research on the neuropsychobiological impact of psychological distress on pain and mood/affective comorbidities, with a focus on sex differences. She is passionate about bridging science and policy and actively advocates for gender equity and equality in health and research.

Thuy is a PhD student at the University of Queensland, developing open-source software to enable reproducible and accessible neuroimaging. Her work focuses on affording a yacht in 5 years.

Soumaiya has a background in Genetics and Neuroscience. She obtained her PhD in Neuroscience from Sorbonne University, where she investigated the neural correlates of stress behavior in zebrafish. She is actively involved in outreach initiatives and advocates for greater inclusion in science.

Abigail is a PhD student at the University of Geneva, within the Lemanic Neuroscience Doctoral School. Her doctoral work focuses on semantic knowledge and representation in multilingual speakers. Prior to starting her PhD in 2022, she obtained her MSc in Munich, Germany and worked as a neuroimaging data scientist at the University of California San Francisco.

Natasha's research is focused on using computational approaches to study potential biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease. For her PhD she used machine learning to investigate changes in speech in Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and as a postdoc her current project involves pooling multiple large fMRI datasets to research resting-state fMRI as a transdiagnostic marker.

Hugo is a freelance software engineer with an ML master's from Centrale Nantes and Keio University, and two years building research software at the University of Geneva, collaborating with neuroscience groups including the Salk Institute and Neuromatch. He maintains open-source scientific Python libraries such as pylinkage and leggedsnake (30,000+ downloads), and co-authored a conference paper on city-scale traffic optimization.
