 Manos Tsakiris studied psychology and philosophy before completing his PhD in psychology and cognitive neurosciences at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL. His research has focused on the neurocognitve mechanisms that shape the experience of embodiment and self-identity using a wide range of research methods, from psychometrics and psychophysics to neuroimaging. He is Professor of Psychology at the Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, where he is also Director of Research (2014+). His research is funded by ESRC (UK), Volkswagen Foundation (Germany) and by a Starting Investigator Grant from the European Research Council. He has published widely in neuroscientific and psychology journals, and his current research projects investigate the plasticity of self-identity.He is the recipient of the 2014 Young Mind and Brain Prize  and of the 22nd Experimental Psychology Society Prize. His research has attracted interest from media around the world, and has appeared in major international news organizations (ReutersBBCThe Times,The GuardianEl PaisMail on Sunday,  Le FigaroWall Street JournalEl Mundo,Huffington PostScientific American).

 Research Interests :The self, corporeal awareness, disorders of consciousness, art and the brain

 In my experience as a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, I have been primarily interested in the neurological and cognitive mechanisms of bodily awareness. I have investigated this topic through the assessment of neurological patients, behavioural studies on tactile illusions and neuroimaging experiments. As such, I have developed skills in a number of neuroscientific techniques: experimental design, statistical analysis, lesion analysis, EEG, fMRI, and neuropsychological assessment.

 Currently, I am interested in the interactions between language, bodily- and spatial-awareness, and especially what bilingual individuals can teach us about such interactions.

 Methods :Clinical neuropsychology, Behavioral measures, EEG

Aziz Moqrich (IBDM, Marseille, France)

IBDM – Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille
UMR 7288, Case 907 – Parc Scientifique de Luminy, 13288 Marseille Cedex 9 – France

 Tel : 04 91 26 97 65

 Aziz Moqrich est biologiste de formation. Après l’obtention de son baccalauréat scientifique à Agadir au Maroc, il décide de poursuivre ses études universitaires en France et soutient en 2000, un doctorat de neurobiologie à l’Université d'Aix-Marseille. Il rejoint ensuite le laboratoire naissant d’Ardem Patapoutian à l’Institut de recherche Scripps (TSRI) à San Diego, où il contribue au décodage des mécanismes moléculaires responsables de la diversité des neurones sensoriels somatiques. Il participe notamment au clonage et à l’identification de nouveaux canaux ioniques TRP impliqués dans la perception de la température. En 2005, il est recruté au CNRS comme chargé de recherche à l’IBDML et créé une équipe Atip dont le projet est de mieux comprendre la signification fonctionnelle de la diversité du système nerveux sensoriel somatique.
