Pascal Wallisch， PhD， Center for Neural Science， New York University Pascal received his PhD from the Uruversity of Chicago and is now a postdoctoral fellow at New York University. He is currently studying the processing of visual motion. Pascal is passionate about teaching， as well as the communication of scientific concepts to a wider audience. He was recognized for his distinguished teaching record by the University of Chicago Booth Prize.Michael Lusignan， Committee on Computational Neuroscience， University of Chicago Michael is an advanced graduate student who has enjoyed teaching several courses involving MATLAB to graduate， as well as undergraduate students. He infuses his teaching with eight years of experience in active software development. His current interests include sensory encoding in neuroethological model systems.Marc Benayoun， Committee on Computational Neuroscience， University of Chicago Marc is an MD/PhD student currently interested in applying statistical field theory to study neural networks with applications to epilepsy. He has an extensive teaching record and was also awarded theUniversity of Chicago Booth Prize.Tanya L Baker， PhD， Junior Research Fellow， Crick-Jacobs Center for Theoretical Neurobiology， The Salk Institute for Biological Studies， La Jolla， California Tanya is a junior research fellow modeling large-scale neuronal population dynamics using modern statistical methods. Previously， she was a post-doctoral lecturer at the University of Chicago where she developed and taught Mathematical Methods for the Biological Sciences， a new year-long course with a computer lab component.She received her PhD in Physics at the University of Chicago and her BS in Physics and Applied Mathematics at UCLA.Adam Dickey， Committee on Computational Neuroscience， University of Chicago Adam is an MD/PhD candidate at the University of Chicago. He is currently a graduate sfudent in the laboratory of Dr. Nicholas Hatsopoulos. Adam is interested in improving decoding techniques used for neuralprosthetic control.Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos， PhD， Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy & Department of Neurology， University of Chicago Nicholas is Associate Professor and Chairman of the graduate program on Computational Neuroscience. He teaches a course inCognitive Neuroscience which formed the basis for some of the chapters in the books.His research focuses on how ensembles of cortical neurons work together to control，coordinate，and learn complex movements of the arm and hand.He is also developing brain-machine interfaces by which patients with severe motor disabitities could activate large groups of neurons to control external devices.
