He received the “Privatedozent” degree in 2004 from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Zurich. His research interests include the development of methods for functional mapping of the human brain based on EEG and MEG (e.g. LORETA: low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography), the analysis of the spatio-temporal properties of brain electric activity and its relation to the mind (cognition), and the development of tools for pattern recognition (in general). More recently, his main focus is on the development of methods for measuring functional, dynamic brain connectivity. Since 2010-April he is a visiting Professor at Kansai Medical University Hospital in Osaka, Japan.

William Bosl, PhD

William Bosl, PhD is a research scientist at Children's Hospital Boston and Instructor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. His primary research interests are in cognitive development and pediatric neuropsychological assessment. The focus of his laboratory is to develop clinically useful technology for analyzing brain function and using advanced informatics methods for extracting psychiatric biomarkers from measurements of brain activity. Early autism risk assessment and epilepsy are two primary areas of interest. Dr. Bosl is also involved with developing clinical decision support and mental health assessment technology for use in developing regions of the world. In this context, he is involved with creating mobile phone based applications for assessing the effects of trauma and infectious diseases on brain development.

Dr. Bosl was originally trained as a computational physicist and has extensive background in scientific computing and data analysis. He designed algorithms for environmental modeling and integration of remote sensing data at the University of California and Stanford University. During this time he invented and patented a method for computing properties of porous materials from CT scans. Dr. Bosl completed his PhD at Stanford University. Since coming to Harvard and Children's Hospital, he has completed additional advanced graduate training in clinical neuroscience, child neuropsychology and neurotechnology at Harvard, MIT and Boston University. He is an adjunct lecturer in human neuropsychology at the Boston University School of Medicine.Dr. Bosl and colleagues recently published "EEG complexity as a biomarker for autism spectrum disorder risk" which can be found at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/9/18.

Adam Clarke, PhD

Prof. Adam Clarke is a Psychologist and lecturer in the School of Psychology, University of Wollongong, Australia.

After completing a masters in Psychology, Adam work for nearly 5 years as a psychologist in a Pediatric practice in Sydney, where he performed over 10 000 electrophysiological assessments on children with a broad range of behavioral disorders and learning disabilities. During this time he also completed a PhD at the University of Wollongong, in the EEG of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Following from this position, he worked for nearly 3 years in the public hospital system, implementing a comprehensive protocol for the treatment of suicidal patients before starting a 3 year Post Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Wollongong. This post doc was once again in the electrophysiology of ADHD. At the end of the Post Doc, he was offered a lectureship at the University. Adam is a recipient of the Australian Psychological Societies Early Career Researcher Award, and the Presidential Award of Merit from the International Society for Neuronal Regulation. Adam continues to research into electrophysiological abnormalities in children with behavioral disorders, with over 50 publications in these groups
