About the Authors

Costanza Papagno is a Full Professor of Neurology at the University of Trento in Italy. She has an MD and a PhD in Neuropsychology from Milano University. She was the former President of the Italian Neuropsychology Society (2016-2022), and she is Clinical Director of the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Centre (CeRiN), Rovereto, Italy. She is the editor-in-chief for the Journal of Neuropsychology, and on the editorial boards of Neuropsychology Review and Journal of Neurolinguistics. She is a former guest editor of Cortex.

Major themes of her research are the anatomical correlates of figurative language, verbal short-term memory, and neuropsychological disorders in Parkinson's disease.

Paul Corballis is a cognitive neuroscientist with research interests in visual perception, attention, and cognition. He received his PhD from Columbia in 1997, spent several years at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, joined the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta in 2002, and returned to the University of Auckland in 2011.

His research incorporates psychophysical, electrophysiological, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological approaches to study human visual perception, attention, and awareness. Topics include target selection and distractor suppression in visual search, the functional organization of the cortical visual system, and the interaction between attention and emotion in young and ageing populations. The hemispheric organization of the visual system has been a major theme in much of his research, as well as cortical organization at finer scales, and in relationships between brain activity and variability in human performance.
