Olivier Luminet is Full Professor at UCLouvain and Research Director at the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (FRS-FNRS). His main areas of interest include interactions between emotion, personality and health and the links between emotion, identity and memories (both at the individual and at the collective levels). He has published more than 50 papers on alexithymia in international journals, and a co-edited book Alexithymia: Advances in Research, Theory, and Clinical Practice (2018). He is the co-editor of Flashbulb memories: New challenges and future perspectives (Routledge 2017).

Kristy Nielson is Full Professor at Marquette University, Milwaukee, USA. She is a cognitive neuroscientist and neuropsychologist whose research targets the neural substrates underlying memory, executive functioning, and sensorimotor changes in aging and Alzheimer's disease; genetic influences on these neural substrates; the role of individual differences, such as sex, sexual orientation, and emotion processing (specifically alexithymia) on cognition and "successful aging"; early biomarkers predicting cognitive decline; and interventions, such as exercise, for preventing, reducing, and adapting to cognitive decline.

Nathan Ridout is Senior Lecturer at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. He is experimental psychologist and the primary aim of his research is to understand cognitive and affective changes associated with psychopathology, most notably depression and eating disorders. His areas of interest are memory (especially autobiographical memory) and social cognition (especially processing of facial emotion). Other areas of expertise include: alexithymia (particularly in association with psychopathology, and influence on emotion processing) and cognitive changes observed in older adults.
