Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Goodale holds the Canada Research Chair in Visual Neuroscience in the Departments of Psychology and Physiology at the University of Western Ontario. He is best known for his work on the functional organization of the visual pathways in the cerebral cortex, and was a pioneer in the study of visuomotor control in neurological patients. His recent research uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to look at the activity in the normal human brain as it performs different kinds of visual tasks. He has also developed virtual-object technology to study the visual information used to program and control grasping movements.

Curriculum Vitae
Born in 1961. M.D., Ph.D. Post-doctoral fellow at the University of Bologna from 1990. Senior Researcher at the University of Parma from 1992 and Assistant Professor at the University of Parma from 1997. Associate Professor at the University of Ferrara from 2000. He has a long experience in electrophysiological investigation in monkeys (single neurons recordings) and humans (transcranial magnetic stimulation, study of spinal excitability and brain imaging). Among his contributions are the description of functional properties of monkey area F5, in which, in collaboration with the researchers of University of Parma, he found a set of neurons that discharge both when the monkey makes an action and observes an action made by another individual. Other fields of his research concern attention and its neuron mechanism in normal subjects and in patients.

Curriculum Vitae
Joseph McIntyre is senior scientist at the Laboratory for Action and Perception in the National Research Centre of the College de France. He is involved in research on the elaboration of force information by the brain, with particular interest on the treatment of gravitational forces. He is especially renowned for his theory that the brain has a built-in internal model of the gravity law, based on an innovative ball-catching experiment conducted in space. According to Joe McIntyre and his colleagues, the brain is so accurate because it contains an internal model of gravity, which permits to anticipate, calculate and compensate for gravitational acceleration.
