Rafał Jończyk is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pragmatics, Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, where he conducts research at the intersection of psycholinguistics, affective neuroscience, and bilingualism. His work primarily investigates how emotional processing differs between native and second languages using neurophysiological methods, particularly EEG. With a Ph.D. in English Linguistics from Poznań (2015) and postdoctoral experience at Pennsylvania State University, he has established himself as a leading researcher in bilingual emotional processing. His research interests span Affective Neuroscience , Experimental Pragmatics , Psycholinguistics , Bilingualism and Emotion , and the Neurophysiology of Creativity . His methodology heavily relies on EEG to examine language processing, with particular focus on emotional language comprehension and production in bilingual contexts. His work has demonstrated how bilinguals process emotional content differently in their native versus second languages, revealing reduced sensitivity to negative content in the second language. Jończyk's research program has evolved from early work on hemispheric specialization for emotional words to sophisticated EEG studies of emotional anticipation and metaphor processing in bilinguals.

Mark Beeman is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University and director of The Creative Brain Lab. His research focuses on studying the component processes and behaviors that relate to creative problem solving, with particular emphasis on 'high-level cognition' and how the brain thinks when solving complex problems. Beeman seeks to link the brain's wetware to the mind's software, using evidence from both domains to constrain theories and provide novel insights. Beeman's primary research area is creative cognition, particularly insight problem solving exemplified by 'Aha' or 'Eureka' experiences. His work combines behavioral and neuroimaging approaches to investigate the neural correlates of insight. Key findings include the identification of right hemisphere involvement, particularly the anterior Superior Temporal Gyrus, in insight problem solving. He discovered that insight solutions are associated with sudden bursts of gamma activity in this region, along with alpha wave activity that may represent 'gating' of visual input to facilitate solution processing. His research spans multiple dimensions of creativity including intuition, problem solving under performance pressure, the relationship between sleep and incubation effects, and how attentional patterns relate to creative cognition. Beeman's work has been published in top journals including NeuroImage, Psychological Science, and Annual Review of Psychology, with his 2014 review paper with John Kounios becoming a seminal work in the field. Among his notable achievements is the Memory & Cognition Best Paper award in 2016. His lab continues to explore the neural dynamics of creative thought through various ongoing projects examining how different cognitive processes contribute to creative problem solving. Beeman has established The Creative Brain Lab as an interdisciplinary research hub that brings together cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science to uncover the mechanisms underlying creative thought, with implications for education, innovation, and understanding human cognition more broadly.

Onur Güntürkün serves as Professor for Psychology at Ruhr University Bochum and holds a Permanent Fellowship at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute for Advanced Study). His academic career spans decades of pioneering research in comparative cognition, with a focus on evolutionary parallels between avian and mammalian cognitive systems. As a Permanent Fellow, he leads the "One Cognition" project investigating convergent evolution of cognitive abilities across species with vastly different neuroanatomies. Academic Background: Diploma in Psychology, Ruhr University Bochum Dr. phil. in Psychology, Ruhr University Bochum Güntürkün's research centers on the paradox of equivalent cognitive abilities emerging from radically different neural architectures—specifically how birds with tiny brains (3-25g) and no neocortex achieve cognitive feats matching chimpanzees. His work demonstrates that corvids and parrots exhibit identical cognitive capabilities to primates in working memory, problem-solving, and social cognition. He investigates whether algorithmic constraints or neural implementation bottlenecks drive this convergence, using working memory as a model system due to its well-defined parameters across species. His experimental approach integrates behavioral studies with neural circuit analysis to uncover universal principles of cognitive evolution. Analysis of his publication history reveals a consistent trajectory from foundational neuroanatomical studies toward theoretical frameworks for cognitive convergence. The most recent works (2021-2024) emphasize circuit-level homologies between avian pallium and mammalian neocortex, while earlier publications established birds as valid models for complex cognition. Key thematic clusters include neural lateralization mechanisms, sensory modality effects on cognition, and evolutionary constraints on information processing. His 2024 Trends in Cognitive Sciences paper synthesizes two decades of evidence showing birds solve mental problems using cognitive mechanisms nearly identical to mammals despite 300 million years of divergent evolution. Professional Recognition: Honorary Doctorate (Dr. h.c.) Güntürkün actively contributes to scientific discourse through invited colloquia, including an upcoming presentation at Wiko on November 25, 2025. While specific grant details aren't documented in the source material, his sustained research output and leadership in major projects indicate significant funding acquisition. His work bridges neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and cognitive psychology, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations evident in co-authored publications with researchers from diverse fields. As Principal Investigator of the "One Cognition" project, Güntürkün directs a research initiative examining why evolution repeatedly produces similar cognitive solutions across phylogenetically distant species. This work involves comparative analysis of neural circuits across avian and mammalian models, with particular focus on working memory constraints and neural implementation strategies. His laboratory at Ruhr University Bochum collaborates with international teams studying bird cognition, contributing to the growing paradigm shift recognizing avian intelligence as a powerful model for understanding universal cognitive principles.
