  • About the Authors

Lisa Burklund received her PhD in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is currently working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. Her work involves using functional magnetic resonance imaging to study the neural bases of anxiety, depression, interventions for anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as general emotion processing. She can be contacted via email at burklund@psych.ucla.edu.

Sergi G. Costafreda is a psychiatrist, working in functional brain imaging research at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, UK. He is working in the development of new methods for functional neuroimaging meta-analysis, and for the analysis of large-scale and multisite neuroimaging studies. He can be contacted via email at s.costafreda@iop.kcl.ac.uk

James M. Fielding is interested in foundational issues in philosophy of language and metaphysics. In the field of applied ontology, his work focuses in particular on the ontology of information. This has led him to an investigation of images, texts, and other documents (digital and analog). He is currently working on applying philosophical principles to enhance database management and improve the navigation of digital archives. He can be contacted via email at James.Fielding@malix.univ-paris1.fr.

Keith Frankish is a Visiting Senior Research Fellow in Philosophy at The Open University, UK, and an Adjunct Professor with the Brain and Mind Program in Neurosciences at the University of Crete, Greece. His research focuses on topics in philosophy of psychology, including the nature of belief, mental architecture (especially dual-process theories of reasoning), and cognitive theories of psychopathology. He is the author of Mind and Supermind (2004) and Consciousness (2005), and co-editor of In Two Minds: Dual Processes and Beyond (2009) and New Waves in Philosophy of Action (2010). He may be contacted via email at k.frankish@gmail.com

Thor Grünbaum is currently an Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy and an Associate Fellow at The Danish National Research Foundation: Center for Subjectivity Research, University of Copenhagen. Before that, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, and at the Danish National Research Foundations Center for Subjectivity Research, University of Copenhagen. His main research interests are in philosophy of action, mind, and psychology. In addition to articles in these areas, he has published a number of articles on aesthetics and the theory of narratives. He can be contacted via email at tgr@hum.ku.dk.

Richard Kanaan studied mathematics and philosophy in Oxford and Los Angeles, before training in medicine and psychiatry in London. He now works at the Institute of Psychiatry, where he studies schizophrenia using neuroimaging, and conversion disorder from a number of [End Page 371] standpoints. Recent publications include Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Schizophrenia, Biological Psychiatry (2005), and Tract-Specific Anisotropy Measurements in Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging (2006). He may be contacted via email at r.kanaan@iop.kcl.ac.uk

Matthew Lieberman is a Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. His work utilizes functional magnetic resonance imaging to conduct studies on social cognitive neuroscience. He can be contact via email at lieber@ucla.edu

Dan Lloyd is Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Trinity College, Connecticut. He works at the intersection of mind and brain, with emphasis on the neuroscience of consciousness. His book, Radiant Cool: a Novel Theory of Consciousness (MIT Press, 2003), combines philosophical phenomenology with functional brain imaging. He can be contacted via email at Dan.Lloyd@trincoll.edu

Dirk Marwede is a radiologist and computer scientist interested in knowledge modeling and medical ontologies. In the field of medical imaging his special focus is the application of standardized terminologies to capture information from images and the representation of numerical and textual information in computational formats. He can be contacted via email at dirkmarwede@yahoo.de

Philip McGuire is Professor of Psychiatry & Cognitive Neuroscience, Head of the Section of Neuroimaging at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, and Chairman of the Association of European Psychiatrists Section of Neuroimaging.
