Dr. Marcello Massimini Ph.D., is currently working as Professor in Neurophysiology at the University of Milan, Italy.

Marcello graduated in Medicine from the University of Milan. During his PhD in Neurophysiology Marcello performed, in vivo, intracellular recordings in the lab of Dr. Mircea Steriade at Laval University (Quebec), Canada.

From 2002 to 2006 he worked as a research associate at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin – Madison with Dr. Giulio Tononi. During this period he tested the first commercially available TMS/HD-EEG system and performed experiments to understand changes in thalamocortical information processing that occur across states of vigilance.

Marcello research focus areas are TMS/EEG and its utilization in Neurology.

Dr. Reto Huber, Ph.D., is currently working as Professor at the Children's Hospital of the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

Dr. Huber has performed EEG recordings in humans and rodents to study the mechanisms underlying sleep regulation (Prof. A.A. Borbély lab, University of Zurich, Switzerland).

During the last two years Dr. Huber has carried out the first high-density EEG recordings during sleep at the University of Wisconsin with Prof. G. Tononi.

He has great expertise in quantitative EEG analysis during wakefulness and sleep in healthy subjects and patients in combination with measures of performance.
