Professor Boyle has spent over three decades undertaking quantitative research in the field of psychometrics, as related to the measurement of individual differences inpersonality, intelligence, and motivation, as well as undertaking studies within the fields of neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and educational psychology. In more recent years, he has applied his extensive research skills to studies within the broad fields of medical/health psychology, and has undertaken many studies within thearea of women′s health. Lately, he has focused his attention more on research topics pertaining to men′s health. Yaakov Stern is the Florence Irving Professor of Neuropsychology in the departments of Neurology and Psychiatry, as well as the Taub Institute for the Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain and the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center, at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is chief of the Cognitive Neuroscience Division of the Department of Neurology. His research work focuses on cognition in normal aging and diseases of aging, including exploring the neural implementation of cognitive reserve, structural and functional imaging of cognitive aging, and modeling the natural history of Alzheimer’s disease.Dan J.

She is perhaps best known for her work on ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ cognitive deficits in depression and early detection and early treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors in Alzheimer’s disease. She has over 400 publications in high impact scientific journals. Sahakian co-invented the neuropsychological CANTAB tests. Sahakian has contributed to Neuroscience and Mental Health Government Policy and has spoken on resilience, brain health, neuroscience and mental health at the World Economic Forum, Davos, 2014. She is a member of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Brain Research.Charles J. Golden is nationally and internationally known for his clinical research in neuropsychological assessment. He has given over 1000 presentations, posters, and workshops, and published over 500 articles, book chapters, and books. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and holds a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology, and Psychological Assessment.

Tatia Mei-Chun Lee is the Chair Professor of Psychological Science and Clinical Psychology and May Endowed Professor of Neuropsychology at The University of Hong Kong. She is also the Director of the State Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Laboratory of Neuropsychology and Human Neuroscience at the university. Her research focuses on the neuroplastic and neuropsychological underpinnings of brain and psychological health. She is an elected Fellow of learned societies, including the Academy of Social Sciences in the United Kingdom, the American Psychological Association (Society of Clinical Psychology and Society of Clinical Neuropsychology), and the Association for Psychological Science (Clinical Psychology).Annabel Chen Shen-Hsing is a Professor of Psychology and Director of Centre for Research and Development in Learning (CRADLE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. She is a clinical neuropsychologist educated in the United States (Purdue University, West Virginia University, Medical College of Wisconsin) and conducted post-doctoral research in neuroimaging at the Lucas Centre, Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research seeks to understand disturbance in brain and behaviour using neuropsychological and neuroimaging techniques focusing on cerebellar contributions to higher cognition, optimizing cognition in aging neuroscience (active aging), and the science of learning to translate neuroscience for education.
