Helen Savaki is a Professor of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Crete and a Collaborating Researcher at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics, Foundation for Research & Technology (FORTH). Her current research interests include: 1) Investigation of the cortical cerebral pathways associated with voluntary arm-reaching movements of monkeys executing learned visuo-skeletomotor tasks. Representation of the visual and somatosensory guidance of arm movements. 2) Cortical regions, related to saccadic eye-movements in the brain. How are saccade parameters (direction, amplitude, eye-position and trajectory) coded in distinct cortical areas. 3) Cortical areas involved in execution and observation of grasping movements. Mirror-neurons circuit in the human brain. Her work has received over 4000 citations.

Panagiotis Simos is a Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology at the Division of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Crete Medical School. His research focuses on neuropsychological and brain imaging studies of language, reading, and memory using Magnetic Source Imaging (Magnetoencephalography) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (perfusion and fMRI) with school-aged children and adults, exploring psychoeducational and neurophysiological profiles associated with learning disabilities, autoimmune and other neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia, MCI, SLE, and MS. He has published more than 160 research papers in top peer-reviewed journals in Neuropsychology and Neurology, and his work has received over 3400 citations.
