Profile:
In 1989, I got a degree in Philosophy, Psychology and Education Sciences at the University of Oviedo. From 1990 until 1992, you got a research scholarship of great prestige in Spain. In 1995 I defended my Doctoral Thesis entitled "Comparison by simulation of the power and robustness of the multivariate approach to repeated measures against the corresponding univariate with error structure modeled through autoregressive process" directed by the Professor Guillermo Vallejo Seco. Since 1992 and to date I have worked as a teacher in the Faculty of psychology of the University of Oviedo. I am Professor since 1999. Ive always been teaching in the area of methodology. All my curriculum is developed around two axes, namely purely methodological research (within the area of methodology), and methodological contributions in applied research, mainly in the area of Clinical Psychology and Educational Psychology. The lines of investigation of strictly methodological character have developed under the protection of 14 projects of investigation I+D+I granted to the team during the last 27 years. They are as follows: -Univariate and multivariate repeated measures designs with autocorrelated errors. -Robust procedures to analyze repeated measures designs in different adverse situations, that is, absence of sphericity, normality and homogeneity, covered both the General Linear Model and the Mixed Linear Model. -Robust procedures for randomized designs with uncorrelated groups in absence of normality and homogeneity. -Hierarchical designs and Multilevel Models both marginal and conditional. -Loss of sample size (missing and dropout) and simulation study using imputation of data procedures and parameter estimation. - Experimental and quasi-experimental designs. - Analysis of the quality of research. The contributions of methodological nature in applied research, primarily in the area of Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology and Educational Psychology have been of relevant importance. In these investigations I have dealt with, and Im responsible, for all aspects related to the planning of them since its origin (research design and careful data collection), and the statistical analysis of the data. Both methodological research and applied research have been exposed at numerous national as international congresses, and have been published in national and international journals of extraordinary quality and prestige (i.e., Multivariate Behavioral Research, Behavior Research Methods, Educational and Psychological Measurement, Frontiers in Psychology, etc.) (see Curriculum Vitae CVA) As it has been reflected in the brief summary of my curriculum above, my areas of interest are focused in the area of methodology, both basic character (strictly methodological studies by Monte Carlo simulation), as applied nature (research planning and data analysis). My greatest interest now, however, is focused on the quality of substantive research (from real, experimental and quasi-experimental research, mainly) from a methodological point of view. The only way to obtain scientific evidence, whatever the objective of research having in hand, is properly performing the tasks involved in the entire process of research since its inception. This way, the meaning of the purely methodological research is its integration and application inside areas of applied investigation.

Profile:
I have the expertise, leadership, and motivation necessary to successfully carry out a variety of projects. I am a Full Professor of Psychology in Behavioral Neuroscience at The University at Albany - The State University of New York. For over 30 years, I have been conducting basic, pre-clinical, and clinical research on the effects and mechanisms of steroids to mediate social, affective and cognitive behavior, and neuroprotection. I have maintained an extramurally-funded research program my entire career. I have published more than 300 peer- reviewed journal articles related to effects and mechanisms of steroids actions. This work has had an impact on the field. My papers have been cited over 16,500 times, to date 42 papers are citation classics (over 100 citations), one Nature paper has over 1,000 citations, my H factor is 71. Although I trained years ago as a basic behavioral neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and medical clinician, my research involving clinical trials was through collaborations with neurologists and psychiatrists. I was not practicing and had no need for a license. As part of my vocational rehabilitation when I developed disabilities, I garnered my license to practice as a clinical neuropsychologist. As such, my basic and collaborative clinical research has culminated in my directing a clinic, Comprehensive Neuropsychological Services. In this role, I work with other clinicians to evaluate and treat people with neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, which have a hormonal basis. It is gratifying to have one?s basic and clinical research rise to the level of clinical practice and to have the opportunity to engage in some hands-on clinical research, supervise others, and keep this unique clinic open. I bring the expertise of my longstanding basic and clinical research to decrease barriers for people from underserved populations to obtain evidence-based, patient-centered care. More importantly, I have access to, and I am using unique research resources, archival records, to elucidate gender differences and utilize hormone and behavioral based treatments. Currently, I am the PI on a P20 grant, and have been offered a book deal by Elsevier. I also have over 20 years of administrative experience, and I have been called on to conduct special projects by the private, business, and government sectors. I love teaching, research, and feel blessed to have the opportunity to engage in the role of servant leader. This is consistent with my core cultural values that one who has the ability to assist others is obligated to do so.

Research Interest:
Having wide interests, Dr. Alberto Zani is concerned with the study of mind and brain from cognitive neurosciences perspective. He investigates visuo-cognitive and affective functions of the human brain in the attempt to localize brain areas and neural networks subserving these functions, and to determine the temporal dynamics of their activation so to gain insight onto brain serial and parallel processing modes. More specifically, the investigation of neural networks for visual stimulus perception and categorization as well as for the control of endogenous and exogenous visuospatial attention are some of his primary interests. Other fields of his interest are neural mechanisms underlying brain language-switching processes in interpreters and multilinguals, with the goal of understanding the plastic reorganization occurring in the human brain with the learning and proficient use of multiple languages. In addition, individual differences in affective functions between genders, and marital and parental status (e.g., male vs. female, married vs. unmarried people, and people with vs. people without children) are in the focus of his interests. This research bears strong implications for his research on the activation of the so-called F5-located “mirror neurons” (MN) in motor-skilled (e.g., such as athletes, ballet dancers, etc.) and non-skilled individuals as well as for emotion-related MN activation in the context of both appropriate and inappropriate socio-relational and emotional contexts. More recently, he also got involved in the study of the functionality of both the central and peripheral nervous systems in relation to music production and appreciation both in musicians and musically-non-educated people.

Profile:
Dr Alberto Zani graduated “Summa cum laude” in Experimental Psychology in 1979 at the University “La Sapienza” of Rome, discussing a Dissertation on “Brain Chemical Neuro-transmitters: Metabolic, Functional and Behavioral Aspects”. In 1981, he won a Fellowship from the Italian National Council of Research (CNR) in the context of the Triennial Special Research Program “Early Diagnosis and Prevention of Neural Sensory Deficits” to be carried out at the Umberto I Hospital of Rome, Italy. In 1982 he also received a Fellowship from the Dutch Foreign Office for an experimental program to be carried out at the Institute of Physiology and the Faculty of Psychology of University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Since late 1982 until late 1984 he spent a research period as Visiting Research Fellow at these same Institutions. Since 1982 until 1990 he was also a Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychology (IP) of the Italian CNR. In 1990, he obtained a contest-awarded specialization in “Physiological and Pharmacological Sciences” from Italian CNR, and was awarded with a tenured position of Researcher at the IP-CNR. In 1991, he received a Scholarship from James McDonnel Foundation for Cognitive Neuroscience, School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, USA, and, in 1996, a Scholarship from NATO, Advanced Institute on Role of Human Corpus Callosum in Sensory Motor Integration: Anatomy, Physiology, Behavior: Individual Differences & Clinical Applications. In 2000, he moved to the Institute of Neuroscience and Bioimaging of CNR, in Milan, Italy, which in 2003 was renamed in Institute of Molecular Bioimaging and Physiology (IBFM-CNR). From 1996 till 2012, he directed the “Cognitive Electrophysiology Lab”, while, since late 2012 up today, the state-of-the-art “Cognitive Electrofunctional Brain imaging Laboratory” of IBFM-CNR.

Samuelochie has a Jungian background. His Master’s Thesis was on Jung and the Shadow and over 30 years of therapeutic work, in three continents, as well as 10 years with Physis, under the late Petruska Clarkson. He was trained in the United States and furthered his training in the UK. He undertook his placement at the Isis Centre in Oxford and the Oxford Brooks University before setting up a practice in Reading, as well as doing presentations for professional bodies, researching and writing books in the field. His approach to client work is that the client decides on what mode of approach works for them, and a model is then built around the “structure” of the client. This is negotiated by how the client absorbs the one to one interaction and the emotional language of the client. The approaches are Integrative, integrating Person Center, CBT, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis or structuralism approaches. The forms of therapy may be short term counseling, (under six sessions) or long term psychotherapy (generally over eight sessions). He had gone on to construct and developed an approach called Skiatism, which is an approach that transcends cultural biases, as it can be put into any culture without diluting the content of the interaction. His e-book entitled In Bed With My Therapists gives a wider grounding about this process, developed from experience of three continents to which he had travelled and lived as an Author, Trainer and a Psychologist for the past 30 years. He had counseled in the areas of Mental Health, Ageing, ethnicity, Race and culture.
