Brain Science
Scientific Advisory Board
Some of the world's leading neuroscience and cognitive psychology researchers advise Lumos Labs on the research, development, testing and refinement of our brain training program.
Moriah Thomason, Ph.D., Cognitive Neuroscience, Stanford University
Researches the neural correlates
of working memory and attention with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Russell Fernald, Ph.D., Benjamin Scott Crocker Professor of Human Biology, Stanford University.
Current research includes neuronal and system level adult plasticity due to environmental and hormonal changes.
Michael Walker, Ph.D., President of Walker Bioscience, Consulting Professor at Stanford University.
Specialization in biostatistics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics for biotechnology R&D.
Elizabeth Race, Ph.D candidate, Cognitive Neuroscience, Stanford University
Currently researching cognition across young and old adults. Using fMRI, she measures changes
in behavior and biology of cognitive processes.
Cris Niell, Ph.D., Neuroscience, UCSF
Studies the anatomical and functional changes in neurons during the development of the visual system.
Jennifer Tsui, Ph.D., Neuroscience, McGill University
Studying cell signaling
pathways and visual system plasticity. Doctoral work examined the molecular underpinning of memory and learning.
Elizabeth Buchen, M.S., Ph.D. candidate, Neuroscience, UCSF
Researches factors regulating adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus.
Raag Airan, MD, Ph.D. candidate, Bioengineering,
Stanford University
Develops optical tools for studying the neural basis of neuropsychiatric diseases.
Wesley C. Clapp, Ph.D., Neuroscience, UCSF
Specialization in human neural plasticity as well as major research interests in memory, attention, distraction and aging.
