Dr. Paul Matusz, PhD is an assistant professor and a PhysioLab coordinator at the School of Health Sciences, University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais). At The Sense Innovation and Research Center, he is a principal investigator in the Real-World Neuroscience Unit. Dr. Matusz completed his Ph.D. at Birbeck College London and post-doctoral fellowships at Oxford University as well as The Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Dr. Matusz’s research combines behavior and electroencephalography (EEG) to study how attentional skills and multisensory processes interact to contribute to childhood learning. His research brings the rigor of laboratory-based research into real-world settings to ascertain if models based on laboratory research extend to everyday environments and contexts. Dr. Matusz is a co-founder and board member of the Swiss Society for Early Childhood Research, where he coordinates the Neurodevelopment special-interest group. Since 2023, he is Editor-in-Chief of Mind, Brain & Education, a flagship journal of The Internal Mind, Brain, and Education Society – the only international association devoted to educational neuroscience.

Dr. Gabriel Lázaro-Muñoz, PhD, JD is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry in the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School and the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Lázaro-Muñoz combines his background in neuroscience, law, and bioethics to examine the implications of emerging biomedical technologies in neuroscience and genomics. He is the principal investigator of studies funded by the BRAIN Initiative-National institutes of Health, the National Human Genome Research Institute, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Lázaro-Muñoz’s current studies examine the ethical and social implications of integrating psychiatric genomics into clinical care, polygenic embryo screening, the development of neurotechnologies such as adaptive deep brain stimulation systems, and the use of deep brain stimulation in children. Dr. Lázaro-Muñoz received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from New York University; his J.D. and Master of Bioethics from the University of Pennsylvania, and his BA in Psychology from the University of Puerto Rico.

Micah M. Murray is an American-Swiss neuroscientist and the founding Scientific and Academic Director of The Sense Innovation and Research Center in Switzerland. He earned a double BA from Johns Hopkins University in 1995. In 2002, he received his PhD with honors in neuroscience from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University. In 2003, was recruited to a faculty position at the University Hospital Center and the University of
Lausanne, Switzerland . He also holds an adjunct professorship at Vanderbilt University. He is the laureate of awards from the Leenaards Foundation, the Swiss Society for Biological Psychiatry, the Swiss National Science Foundation, and the Swiss Brain League. Professor Murray’s scientific output includes more than 200 articles and book chapters. He has spearheaded advancements allowing EEG to be used as a true neuroimaging technique. He has been a pioneer in characterizing brain mechanisms of human perception and in particular, the ways that the senses appropriately combine information. This has led to a new schema of the functional organization of the brain and new approaches for screening and rehabilitation.
