  • Ph.D., general/experimental psychology, Georgia Tech University, 1983

  • Postdoctoral researcher, Duke University, 1983-1984

  • Research scientist, Brandeis University, 1984-1990

Research Interests:

Professor Stine-Morrow's research is focused on the conditions and strategies that augment cognitive health and make us effective learners into later adulthood. Research topics include:

  • Investigating how age-related change in cognition impacts language and text comprehension and how shifts in strategy with age can contribute to maintaining text memory.

  • Mechanisms underlying individual variation in literacy skill among adults.

  • Interventions that promote cognitive resilience into late life.

Professor Stine-Morrow’s research is broadly concerned with the multifaceted nature of adult development and aging; in particular, how cognition and intellectual capacities are optimized over the adult life span. She has examined how self-regulated adaptations (e.g., selective allocation of attentional resources, reliance on knowledge-based processes, activity engagement, etc.) engender positive development in adulthood. Much of this research has focused on the important role of literacy and the processes through which effective reading is maintained into late life.

Professor Stine-Morrow's research has been funded by the National Institute on Aging, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute for Educational Sciences. She is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Gerontological Society of America.

Jamie Maguire , Ph.D.

Kenneth and JoAnn G Wellner Professor Neuroscience

Tufts University

Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Cognitive Sciences, Neuroscience, Psychology

Research in the Maguire lab takes a systems physiology approach to studying the mechanisms contributing to neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, with a focus on epilepsy and mood disorders. Our research has explored the impact of the neuroendocrine system on the comorbidity of epilepsy and depression as well as the role in postpartum depression. Working from the vantage point of synaptic changes, such as GABAergic dysregulation, to circuit dysfunction between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, to in vivo changes in excitability and behavior, we have explored many mechanistic levels contributing to neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. We have incorporated cutting edge tools into our research program, where appropriate, to study the contribution of specific cell types and circuits in mediating physiological and pathological processes. Based on our discovery of neurosteroid-mediated alterations in GABAA receptor subunit expression during pregnancy and the postpartum period and our theory for a potential role in postpartum depression, a company designing neurosteroid-based treatment approaches embarked on a series of successful clinical trials for the treatment of postpartum depression. Our discoveries have also generated two useful mouse models of postpartum depression, leading to a collaboration with SAGE Therapeutics to perform preclinical studies on the underlying mechanisms and treatment options for postpartum depression. Our basic research program is also actively investigating the mechanisms of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation during the peripartum period and the contribution of dysregulation of the HPA axis in abnormal postpartum behaviors. Our research has also discovered a novel mechanism contributing to epilepsy progression and associated comorbidities, involving dysfunction in the regulation of the HPA axis. This work has carved out a niche in the field, establishing our lab as experts in this area. This work also earned two competitive research grants (RO1s) from the National Institutes of Health to fund this work. Our lab is presenting investigating the pathological consequences of seizure-induced activation of the HPA axis, focusing on the role of hypercortisolism in seizure susceptibility and associated comorbidities.

Adrian Esterman, PhD

Professor of Biostatistics Allied Health & Human Performance

University of South Australia

Clinical Sciences, Nursing, Psychology

About me

I attended Beal Grammar School for Boys in Essex, UK, and left to start work at the age of 16. After several years working as a junior clerk, I enrolled in an Honours degree in Statistics at the University of Bath, graduating in 1972.  This was followed by a Masters degree in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 1973, supervised by Professor Peter Armitage. I then took up a Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Aberdeen medical school in late 1973 before joining the World Health Organization in 1974. I worked for 5 years at the WHO head office in Geneva, followed by 2 years at the WHO European Regional Office in Copenhagen.

In 1981 I moved to Australia and worked for many years in the South Australian Department of Health as Principal Epidemiologist. In the mid-1990s, I took a break from epidemiology and became Managing Director of a market research company. This gave me great experience in survey research, qualitative research, HR management, and sales. However, I eventually moved back into academic life, and in 2002, I received my PhD in epidemiology from Flinders University.

At the University of South Australia, one of my main roles is to provide advice on biostatistics and epidemiology to researchers in the health and medical areas. I am also a Chief Investigator on several research grants. I am the author of over 400 publications and have an  of 74. I am experienced in mentoring Research Fellows junior staff and of course PhD students.

I really enjoy writing, and have written a number of articles about epidemiology and COVID-19 on the  website. I have also written nearly 30 articles for  about COVID-19 with over 2.5 million reads.  I have published a book on . I have also become an avid tweeter - @profesterman, with over 39,000 followers. I also give presentations on the current COVID-19 situation to community, business, academic and professional groups.

Lorimer Moseley, PhD

Professor of Clinical Neurosciences

University of South Australia

Clinical Sciences, Neuroscientist, Physiotherapy, Psychology

I am fascinated by humans. That fascination has led me to become a physiotherapist, then a neuroscientist, a pain scientist and a science educator. After working as a physiotherapist for seven years, I combined my clinical work with research - a PhD at the University of Sydney Pain Management Research Institute and research positions at the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and Oxford University, UK. My official qualifications are: DSc, PhD, FAAHMS, FACP, HonFFPMANZCA, HonMAPA, BAppSc(Phty)(Hons). In 2020, I was made an Officer of the Order of Australia, for "distinguished service to medical research and science communication, to education, to the study of pain and its management, and to physiotherapy, to humanity at large."

I was appointed University of South Australia's Inaugural Chair in Physiotherapy, and Professor of Clinical Neurosciences, in 2011 and was honoured to be appointed a Bradley Distinguished Professor in 2021.

I have been supported by NHMRC Fellowship/Investigator funding since my return to Australia in 2009.

I am the Chair of PainAdelaide Stakeholders' Consortium, which brings together Adelaide's pain researchers, clinicians and consumers to 'put our heads together' for persistent pain. I established and lead the non-profit grassroots movement called Pain Revolution, which is committed to a bold but realistic vision that all Australians will have access to the knowledge, skills and local support to prevent and overcome persistent pain. Our annual Flagship Event is the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour. Our awareness and fund-raising challenge 'Go the Distance!' encourages pepole to walk, run or ride to meet their own personal challenge, raising awareness of the problem of persistent pain and the possibilities that are emerging with each new scientific discovery. Our ongoing capacity-building programs - Local Pain Educator Program and Local Pain Collectives Project, aim to (i) embed in rural and regional communities the capacity to prevent and overcome persistent pain, and (ii) develop local pain networks to provide sustainable capacity. Learn about Pain Revolution here: painrevolution.org.

I led the establishment of UniSA's Innovation, Implementation & Clinical Translation in Health ('IIMPACT in Health') and was Director from inception until 2023. IIMPACT has grown to about 100 researchers, publishing over 500 scientific articles a year, with a research income of about $2m a year. The research in IIMPACT centres around taking a truly 'biopsychosocial' to a range of significant health conditions, and the primary role that allied health professionals play in discovery and treatment. Central to IIMPACT has been an 'innovation to implementation' approach, led by clinical and consumer needs, with both playing important roles in every phase of the research journey.

I lead the Body in Mind Research Group within IIMPACT. This research group investigates the role of the brain and mind in chronic pain. Pain is a huge problem - it affects 20% of the population and costs western societies about as much as diabetes and cancer combined.  We have a major public engagement and education focus, with our articles and videos attracting over 13 million reads/views, including being on repeat in hospitals and community health centres in several countries. Body in Mind, or 'BIM', research is supported by MRFF and NHMRC Grants and industry funding, and many BIMsters have NHMRC scholarship or fellowship support. We have eight nationalities and several disciplines represented.

For those of you keen on 'metrics', my main metrics are: Total number of papers - about 400; Google scholar H-index - 95; Average Field-weighted citation index - 1.9 - 2.6 in the fields in which I am most active; competitive grant funding - about $22 million over 20 years.

I supervise PhD students and host post-doctoral fellows for between 1 - 3 years. Expressions of interest in joining our group should be directed in the first instance to [email protected]. We have many such expressions of interest each year so it is best to make contact at least 12 months in advance.

I co-developed, with David Moen and Sam Chisolm, a consumer facing resource called Tame the Beast - go to tamethebeast.org.

I established bodyinmind.org in 2009 and was Chief Editor until we handed it to the IASP.  This library of over 900 blog posts is now hosted on their consumer/clinician facing website called RELIEF. You can visit that library here: https://relief.news/relief-to-provide-body-in-mind-content-as-a-free-resource/

Pain revolution is revamping our website, but until then you can find some factsheets you can download and print in a range of languages here: https://www.painrevolution.org/factsheets

I have authored or co-authored several books. You can find them here: https://www.noigroup.com/shop/

Please note that I receive royalties for these books. I have no financial interest in the publisher noigroup.com. I do however, have relevant disclosures - in the last five years, I have received support from the following entities: Reality Health, Kaiser Permanente, ConnectHealth UK, workers compensation agencies in Australia and abroad, AIA Australia, Arsenal Football Club, the International Olympic Committee. Professional and scientific bodies have reimbursed me for travel costs related to presentation of research on pain at scientific conferences/symposia. 

I am on the Board of Pain Australia.

I live and work on Kaurna Country.

Robert-Paul Juster is a neuroscience researcher. His research mainly focuses on the study of chronic stress by considering the effects of gender, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Dr. Juster's research interests include the study of allostatic load, a measure of the long-term consequences of the effects of chronic stress in people. In his studies, he takes into account variables linked to gender and sex to identify possible differences and explanations. Doctor Juster is interested in both the biological and social determinants of chronic stress. In addition to being a researcher, he is director and founder of the Center for Studies on Sex*Gender, Allostasis, and Resilience (CESAR).

 

Aging, Cognitive Neuroscience, EEG, Electroencephalogram, Electrophysiology, ERP, Hemispheres, Language, Language Processing, Memory, Neurobiology, Neuroscience, Psychology, Semantics

is a professor in the Department of Psychology and the Neuroscience Program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a faculty member in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Her fields of professional interest are language, memory, hemispheric differences and cognitive neuroscience.

Certain sensory stimuli — words, pictures, faces, sounds — seem to immediately and effortlessly bring to mind a rich array of knowledge that we experience as the "meaning" of those cues. Federmeier's research examines the neurobiological basis of such meaning, asking how world knowledge derived from multiple modalities comes to be organized in the brain and how such information is integrated and made available for use in varied contexts and often in only hundreds of milliseconds. To study these time-sensitive processes, Federmeier uses event-related brain potentials, or ERPs, supplemented by behavioral, eye tracking, and hemodynamic measures.

Research areas:

  • Language processing

  • Semantic memory

  • Aging

Research interests:

  • Neurobiological basis

  • Hemispheric differences

  • Electrophysiology (EEG, ERPs)

Hope, Psychology

Tharina Guse is a Professor and Head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Pretoria.

She is one of the lead researchers of the , which is an annual survey covering 13 countries that measures people’s hopes and expectations for the coming year, but also how much their hopes were fulfilled in the prior year. Interestingly, African countries have high levels of hope, which seems to stem from a trust in resources in the community and the people around us as well as faith-based trust.

Her research interests include psychological well-being, psychological strengths (particularly hope and gratitude), positive psychology interventions and the application of hypnosis for mental health promotion. She has published and presented several papers and workshops on implementing hypnosis as positive psychological intervention.

Cognition, Cognitive Control, Cognitive Flexibility, Decision Making, Postdoctoral Fellowship, Psychology

James Hyman is a psychology professor and neuroscientist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Hyman’s research utilizes massive multi-site electrophysiological recordings while examining behavioral tasks to understand how memory and cognition work. His lab focuses on how information is encoded in the anterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus, and how these two vital parts of our memory system interact to enable behavioral adaptations, cognitive control, cognitive flexibility, and decision making.

He is particularly interested in disease states, such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and schizophrenia, and how these divergent problems affect cognition and memory.
