Jonathan Cannon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster University's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on timing and rhythm in perception and action, with particular interest in timing-related neural dynamics in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and supplementary motor area. His work combines mathematical modeling with experimental approaches to understand the neural basis of rhythm perception and production. Dr. Cannon's research interests span timing and rhythm perception , neural dynamics , dynamical systems theory , Bayesian cognition , neural oscillations , and autism research . His approach centers on formulating and simulating neurophysiological and cognitive models, drawing on dynamical systems theory and Bayesian cognitive frameworks. His work incorporates psychophysics, EEG experiments, and collaborations with experimentalists to investigate how the brain processes rhythmic information. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on the intersection of rhythm perception, motor control, and autism spectrum disorder. His work demonstrates how beat perception co-opts motor neurophysiology, with particular attention to predictive processes in rhythmic cognition. His research shows reduced precision of motor and perceptual rhythmic timing in autistic adults, while also finding intact sequence learning abilities in certain contexts. Dr. Cannon teaches advanced courses including Machine Learning Methods for Brain Modelling and Neural Data Analysis (PSYCH 734), Computational Models in Neuroscience (NEUROSCI 3MN3), and Neuroscience Seminars.

Timothy Williamson is a prominent Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, holding the prestigious Wykeham Professorship of Logic. His academic career spans several decades with continuous contributions to analytic philosophy, particularly in epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophical logic. His work has positioned him as one of the leading philosophers of his generation. Williamson's research interests concentrate on epistemology (particularly his influential knowledge-first approach), metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophical logic. His work on vagueness champions epistemicism—the view that vague predicates have sharp boundaries that we cannot know. His book Knowledge and its Limits revolutionized epistemological thinking by placing knowledge rather than belief at the center of epistemological theory. Williamson has also made significant contributions to modal metaphysics, higher-order thought, and the philosophy of logic. His publication record reveals consistent engagement with foundational philosophical problems across several decades. His most recent work continues his exploration of knowledge-first epistemology while expanding into moral epistemology and methodological questions in philosophy. Williamson's articles demonstrate a distinctive blend of logical precision and philosophical depth, often using formal methods to address traditional philosophical problems. His work frequently intersects with debates in philosophy of language, metaphysics, and philosophical methodology. Williamson has been actively engaged in scholarly debate through numerous replies to critics, demonstrating his commitment to rigorous philosophical dialogue. His publications span major philosophy journals including Synthese , Canadian Journal of Philosophy , Analysis , and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research . Throughout his career, Williamson has mentored numerous graduate students and collaborated with leading philosophers across the globe. His methodological approach emphasizes the value of formal modeling in philosophical inquiry, arguing that philosophy can benefit from the model-building approaches common in natural sciences.
