Professor Paul Bays is a leading cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, holding a professorship in the Department of Psychology within the School of Biological Sciences. He directs the Computational Cognition Group (Bays Lab), where his research focuses on understanding the neural and computational mechanisms underlying visual working memory and perception. His laboratory employs a diverse range of methodologies including visual psychophysics, extended reality (XR) technology, eye and body movement recordings, mathematical models, and artificial neural networks. Bays Lab collaborates extensively with researchers using brain imaging, recording and stimulation techniques, as well as neuropsychologists studying cognitive aging, mental illness, and neurological disorders. Professor Bays' research has revolutionized our understanding of visual working memory, demonstrating that memory capacity operates as a flexible resource rather than a fixed number of "slots." His work has shown how this resource is dynamically allocated across visual features and how it influences perception, decision-making, and action. A major focus examines how working memory bridges discrete transitions in visual input during eye movements, allowing for continuous visual experience despite frequent shifts in gaze. His laboratory has made significant contributions to understanding sensory prediction and motor learning, particularly regarding tactile attenuation (the phenomenon where self-generated touch feels weaker than externally generated touch). Recent work has applied efficient coding principles to explain various perceptual phenomena including weight illusions. Research Theme: Adaptive Brain Computations Research Theme: Lifelong Brain Development and Brain Ageing Research Theme: Brains and Machines Professor Bays actively supervises PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in the Bays Lab, fostering the next generation of cognitive neuroscientists. His laboratory has developed valuable research tools including the Analogue Report Toolbox for analyzing visual working memory data.

Gabriele Contessa serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy within Carleton University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. His academic profile centers on interdisciplinary research bridging epistemology, scientific practice, and socioeconomic theory, with significant contributions to understanding public trust in science and methodological challenges in economics. His educational trajectory includes a Laurea from Universita' di Roma "La Sapienza", followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the London School of Economics (LSE), establishing foundations for his dual focus on analytical philosophy and economic methodology. Contessa's research program exhibits three converging strands: (1) Social epistemology investigations into how collective cognitive structures sustain scientific credibility, particularly regarding public trust mechanisms and expert networks; (2) Philosophy of economics analyses of value-laden judgments in macroeconomic modeling, especially concerning inductive risk and policy impacts; (3) Metaphysical examinations of dispositional properties and mereological structures. His recent publications reveal intensifying engagement with science-society interfaces, notably through frameworks like the "science contract" concept. His publication pattern shows consistent output in premier philosophy journals including Synthese , Mind , and Erkenntnis , with increasing emphasis on socially embedded epistemology since 2020. The thematic evolution from technical metaphysics toward institutional epistemology reflects broader disciplinary shifts in philosophy of science. Contessa maintains active teaching responsibilities including Introduction to Philosophy of Science and Truth and Propaganda, courses examining scientific methodology and truth-claims in public discourse. His virtual office hours (Wednesdays 1:35–2:25 PM) facilitate student engagement within Carleton's philosophy community.
