Konstantin Sering is a researcher at the University of Tübingen within the Faculty of Philosophy, specifically working at the Seminar for Linguistics as part of the Quantitative Linguistics group. His academic journey bridges physics and psychology with computational linguistics, culminating in his 2023 PhD thesis on the PAULE (Predictive Articulatory speech synthesis Utilizing Lexical Embeddings) model. He maintains active collaborations with the Cognitive Modeling Group led by Martin V. Butz and the Quantitative Linguistics Group led by Harald Baayen. Sering's research interests center on the computational modeling of human speech production, with particular focus on the articulatory aspects of language. He approaches spoken language from the perspective of computer-aided modeling and simulation, extending the VocalTractLab model to produce spontaneous human speech. His work emphasizes the information-bearing nature of language over its meaning-bearing aspects, investigating how language signals contextual states and conditions. He combines artificial neural networks with predictive forward approaches to model vocal tract control parameters across multiple target spaces, including meaning and acoustic representations. Analysis of Sering's publication record reveals a consistent trajectory in articulatory speech synthesis and quantitative linguistics. His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in modeling the human speech apparatus, with recent publications focusing on improving the PAULE model through speech/non-speech classification, somatosensory feedback integration, and benchmarking methodologies. His research spans both theoretical computational linguistics and practical applications, with strong connections to cognitive science and psycholinguistics. The publications show interdisciplinary collaboration across linguistics, computer science, and cognitive psychology. Sering actively contributes to the academic community through teaching and software development. He has taught courses including Introduction to Psycholinguistics, Physics of Human Speech Production, and seminars on Predictive Articulatory Speech Synthesis. As software author and maintainer, he has developed several important tools for the field: Articubench (an articulatory speech synthesis benchmark), PAULE (his namesake speech synthesis model), create_vtl_corpus, and contributions to pyndl and other packages. His technical expertise spans Python, R, and specialized instrumentation for speech analysis. Based in room 188 at Keplerstr. 2 in Tübingen, Sering maintains an active research program with regular publications and software releases since 2013. His work environment benefits from the resources of the University of Tübingen's linguistics infrastructure and collaborative opportunities across disciplines.

Sandra Carvalho is an Assistant Professor of Neuropsychology at the Department of Education and Psychology, University of Aveiro, where she serves as Director of the Psychology Course and Coordinator of the Translational Neuropsychology Laboratory. Her work integrates clinical practice with cutting-edge research in neuromodulation and neuroimaging to address complex psychiatric and neurological conditions. Her research program focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation techniques including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), combined with EEG and fMRI methodologies. She investigates neuronal and behavioral correlates of clinical responses across diverse conditions such as neuropathic pain, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, major depression, Tourette’s syndrome, and post-stroke cognitive rehabilitation. This work spans basic neuroscience, translational applications, and clinical trial implementation. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strategic emphasis on personalized neuromodulation protocols, with growing attention to brain connectivity mapping through neuroimaging. Key trends include optimizing tDCS parameters for depression treatment, developing combined tDCS-cognitive therapy approaches, and expanding applications to language rehabilitation in aphasia and autonomic regulation in emotion processing.

Nira Liberman is a Professor of Social Psychology at Tel Aviv University, where she has been a faculty member since 2001. She completed all her formal education at Tel Aviv University, earning her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Comparative Literature, Master's degree in Social Psychology, and PhD in 1997. She also completed postdoctoral work at Columbia University and taught at Indiana University, Bloomington before returning to Tel Aviv University. Professor Liberman's research focuses on psychological distance and its effects on decision making, evaluation, motivation, and mental representation. She is particularly known for her work on Construal Level Theory (CLT), which examines how psychological distance influences cognitive processing. Her research also extends to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), where she developed the Seeking Proxies for Internal States (SPIS) model, as well as to essentialism, disgust, and conservatism. Her Social Psychology Lab investigates how people mentally traverse beyond the immediate 'here and now' to consider future and past time, distant locations, other people, and hypothetical (counterfactual) events. The lab examines what enables such expansion of mental scope and the consequences of this expansion, including how psychological distancing affects cognitive performance, working memory, and decision making. Professor Liberman's publication record shows consistent productivity across multiple domains of psychology. Her recent work continues to explore the intersection of Construal Level Theory with OCD mechanisms, moral judgment, and cognitive performance. Her research demonstrates strong theoretical integration across social, cognitive, and clinical psychology domains, with particular attention to the embodied and neural correlates of abstract thinking. Professor Liberman has established productive collaborations with researchers worldwide, most notably with Yaacov Trope with whom she has co-authored numerous foundational papers on Construal Level Theory. Her work has been published in top-tier psychology journals including Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Review, and Journal of Experimental Psychology. Her lab continues to investigate fundamental questions about how people navigate between proximal and distal concerns, how abstraction enables traversing psychological distance, and how these processes relate to clinical phenomena like OCD. Professor Liberman's research program represents a sophisticated integration of basic cognitive processes with real-world applications in clinical and social domains.
