Autorenporträt

Julian Paul Keenan, PhD is a Professor in both the Biology and Psychology Departments at Montclair State University and the Director of the Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory. He has been publishing on the neural correlates of self-face recognition for three decades in journals such as Nature, and is a leader in the field of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. He is the founder of the journal Social Neuroscience and is the leader of the Brains, Equity, and Medicine Program. He lives with family in New Jersey where he raises various animals. Karina Quevedo was born in Havana, Cuba where she studied Biochemistry and Psychology. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Minnesota Medical Center. She published the first biomarkers of suicide attempts using neuroimaging in adolescents and has published extensively on the topic of self-referential processing using non-invasive neuroimaging methods. She is currently developing neurofeedback and using self-face processing as a potential treatment for suicide risks. She directs the Health and Emotions in Adolescent Trajectories laboratory and is both a licensed psychologist and supervisor. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and grows native Prairie plants to support the migration of Monarch butterflies. William D. Hopkins is Professor of Comparative Medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He has published extensively on the topic of primate cognition and comparative neuroscience, particularly in chimpanzees using non-invasive neuroimaging methods. He co-directs the National Chimpanzee Brain Resource (www.chimpanzeebrain.org) and is currently the Director of the Michale E Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research. He lives with his wife in Bastrop, Texas, and enjoys spending time traveling abroad.
