 Jan Koenderink | Jan Koenderink and Andrea van Doorn have collaborated (for the past half century) on a variety of topics in psychophysics and experimental phenomenology. They both have roots in physics and mathematics. Throughout the decades they have been involved in helping develop the basics of cybernetics, computer vision and artificial intelligence. Their current interests are mainly focussed on the visual arts. Both are since long retired. They regularly work at Utrecht University (Netherlands), Leuven University (KU Leuven, Belgium), Giessen University (Germany) and the University of Sassari (Italy). Their homebase is Utrecht, the Netherlands. Some works can be downloaded from the Clootcrans Press (https://gestaltrevision.be/resources/clootcrans). |
 Kristine Krug | Kristine Krug is the Heisenberg-Professor for Sensory Physiology at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg and Visiting Professor in Neuroscience at Oxford University. She investigates the neural basis of visual perception and decision-making in primates. Kristine seeks to understand and control the neuronal signals that generate our visual experience.

 Hanspeter Mallot | Hanspeter Mallot is professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen and his working group is part of the Institute of Neurobiology. He was also a founding member of the Werner-Reichardt-Centre for Integrative Neuroscience in Tuebingen. His research focuses on spatial behavior and spatial cognition in humans and robots. Hanspeter Mallot uses behavioral experiments in virtual reality, recordings of eye-movements, visual psychophysics, autonomous robots and simulated agents in hard- and software. |
 Laurence Maloney | Laurence Maloney is professor for Psychology and Neural Science at New York University. His research interests focus on how organisms gather information and act on it, on visual perception, decision making and movement planning. By using mathematical statistics, physics and mathematics, Laurence Maloney compares human performance to models of performance. Website: https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/laurence-thomas-maloney.html |
 Pascal Mamassian | Pascal Mamassian is head of the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His research interests lie on various aspects of mid-level vision, including 3D visual perception, motion direction and speed perception, history effects in perception, time, visual confidence, and probabilistic modelling of perception.

 Marty Sereno | Marty Sereno is professor at the department of psychology and director of the MRI imaging facility at San Diego State University (SDSU). He uses fMRI and cortical-surface-based methods to map multiple visual, auditory, somatosensory and motor areas in the human brain and determines how they have been modified from similar areas in non-human primates. He is also interested in predictive analogies between the architecture and origin of the two naturally-occurring code-using systems: DNA for protein synthesis and speech or sign streams for the peculiarly human comprehension of linguistic discourse.

 Li Zhaoping | Li Zhaoping is head of the department of Sensory and Sensorimotor Systems at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics, a professor at the University of Tuebingen, and the author of the textbook “Understanding vision: theory, models, and data”. In the 1990s, she proposed V1 Saliency Hypothesis (V1SH) that the primary visual cortex in primates creates a saliency map to automatically attract visual attention to salient visual locations. V1SH is supported by behavioral and neural data, and is motivating a new framework to understand vision. Zhaoping uses both theoretical and experimental methods in her studies.
