Micah M. Murray
Micah is an associate professor in the Radiology Department CHUV-UNIL, Section Head of the CIBM EEG CHUV-UNIL, and adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University. In 2021, he was named Founding Scientific and Academic Director of The Sense Innovation and Research Center; a joint venture of CHUV-UNIL and HES-SO Valais. He earned a double bachelor’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University and received his PhD in neuroscience with honours from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Among others, he received awards from the Leenaards Foundation, Swiss Brain League, and Swiss Society for Biological Psychiatry. Micah’s work has characterised new schemas of brain functional organization, spurring new diagnostic and intervention strategies for cognitive dysfunction using sensory processes as an access point.
Charles Spence
Charles Spence
Professor Charles Spence is a world-famous experimental psychologist with a specialization in neuroscience-inspired multisensory design. He has worked with many of the world’s largest companies across the globe since establishing the Crossmodal Research Laboratory (CRL) at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford University in 1997. Prof. Spence has published over 1,100 academic articles and edited or authored, 16 books including, in 2014, the Prose prize-winning “The perfect meal”, and the international bestseller “Gastrophysics: The new science of eating” (2017; Penguin Viking) – winner of the 2019 Le Grand Prix de la Culture Gastronomique from Académie Internationale de la Gastronomie. His latest book Sensehacking was published in 2021.

Qian Janice Wang
Experimental psychologist and computer scientist by training. Assistant Professor at the Department of Food Science at Aarhus University, with an affiliation at the Center for Hybrid Intelligence, the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Unit, and the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies. Her research examines multisensory flavour perception and preference, with on a focus on how environmental (like background music) and cognitive factors (like expertise) can modify and enhance the way we perceive food and drink. Researcher interested in the role of the brain flavour system and its connection with eating behaviour, in order to gain a deeper understanding of why people eat what they do, and to encourage behaviour change for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

Mats B. Küssner
Mats B. Küssner is a Lecturer in the Department of Musicology and Media Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London. His research focuses on multimodal perception and mental imagery of music, emotional responses to music, and performance science. Before moving to Berlin, he was Peter Sowerby Research Associate in Performance Science at the Royal College of Music.
Francisco Fernández de Miguel
Francisco Fernández de Miguel
Fernandez de MIguel is a world leader in the study of the mechanisms of extrasynaptic exocytosis of serotonin, a vital transmitter that modulates mood, fundamental brain functions and psychiatric disorders. His lab has shown that serotonin is released by a multistep mechanism completely different from that in synaptic terminals. His studies have led him to the development of ultra-resolution optical systems for the study of serotonin release and its fate in the nervous system.
He has also analyzed how we perceive visual art, with emphasis on the relationship between beauty and violence. His research group in this field incorporates artists, psychologists, anthropologists, biologists, engineers, mathematicians and physicists.
He has received several honors and awards including the 2022 Award for Neuroscience Education by the Society for Neuroscience. He has been visiting professor in the universities of Basel. Switzerland, Oxford, UK., Berkeley, US., Stanford, US., Pablo de Olavide and Barcelona, in Spain.
He has authored or co-edited 7 books including the sixth edition of From Neuron to Brain and has given Neuroscience courses for high-school students to postgraduates in Mexico, United States, Latin America and Europe.

Eldad Tsabary
Dr. Eldad Tsabary's main areas of expertise are in the domain of sound studies specifically sonic aural training and live electroacoustic performance. Through these areas of inquiry, Tsabary has been developing educational approaches, tools, and strategies to better-understand and transform the diverse internal processes involved in sound perception, organization, and creation. He has been teaching electroacoustic performance, composition, and ear training at Concordia University (Montreal) since 2005, where in collaboration with his students, he created the Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk, 2010)—one of the largest and most prolific electroacoustic ensembles worldwide.
