Martin Bareš is Professor of Neurology at Masaryk University's Medical Faculty and currently serves as Rector of Masaryk University. He also leads the Neurophysiological Laboratories and consults at the Movement Disorders Center at St. Anne's Faculty Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic. His academic journey at Masaryk University spans over two decades, progressing from Resident in Neurology to Full Professor. Professor Bareš earned his M.D. from Medical Faculty Masaryk University Brno (1987-1993) and completed his Ph.D. in 2002. His academic progression includes Assistant Professor (1999-2003), Associate Professor (2005-2009), and Full Professor since 2009. He also holds an Adjunct Professor position at the University of Minnesota's Department of Neurology since 2015. His research focuses on Movement Disorders, particularly the cerebellum's role in motor control and timing. His laboratory investigates Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and functional movement disorders using advanced neuroimaging techniques. Professor Bareš has pioneered research on predictive motor timing and has made significant contributions to understanding neural mechanisms underlying movement disorders, with particular emphasis on cerebellar function. Professor Bareš has earned recognition including the Poster of the Day award at the XI International Congress on EMG and Clinical Neurophysiology (1999) and the Czech Neurological Society award for best publication (2002). He serves on editorial boards of Clinical Neurophysiology, Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, and Cerebellum and Ataxias. As an educator, Professor Bareš mentors dissertation theses in Neurology and Neuroscience, teaches medical students and allied health professionals, and has served as an opponent for professorships at multiple Czech universities. His research has been supported by significant grants including Horizon 2020 projects and Ministry of Health research programs. Professor Bareš has held numerous administrative positions at Masaryk University including Dean of the Medical Faculty (since 2018), Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs (2015-2018), Deputy Rector (2012-2018), and Vice-Rector for Development (2011-2015). He currently leads one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the Czech Republic as its Rector.

Louise Mejer serves as an Instructor in the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, concurrently pursuing her PhD in movement neuroscience. Her academic role integrates teaching with advanced research on neural mechanisms governing human motor control. Her research program investigates causal relationships in core motor networks during visually guided stepping tasks and methodological optimization in TMS-EEG paradigms targeting the primary motor cortex. This work bridges experimental neuroscience with practical applications in movement rehabilitation and sports performance, utilizing cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques to decode sensorimotor integration processes. Recent publications demonstrate dual expertise in empirical motor neuroscience and rigorous methodological critique, establishing her as an emerging contributor to understanding neural substrates of human locomotion. Her work emphasizes experimental precision in establishing causal neural mechanisms while addressing technical challenges in brain stimulation research. Scientific recognition includes: DSB student Award (2014) Collaborative research outputs indicate active engagement with international neuroscience teams, though formal advising relationships and grant details remain unspecified in current records. Her institutional affiliation centers on the NEXS research environment, leveraging Copenhagen's movement neuroscience infrastructure for human motor control investigations.
