Luisa Prochazkova finished her Ph.D. at the Cognitive Psychology Unit, Leiden University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bernhard Hommel and Dr. Roberta Sellaro. In her PhD project, funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant, she worked on the questions of how cognitive control affects the interplay between so-called intentional and automatic processes. In particular, she investigates how the ability to maintain behavioural goals is dictated by current metacontrol state bias and how is such bias induced. To this end, Luisa studies the effect of drugs (psychedelics/microdosing), meditation, changes in the autonomic nervous system and reward processing on the metacontrol policies. Furthermore, Luisa is interested in improving existing VR-mindfulness games by implementing biofeedback to monitor and aid emotional responses and psychophysiological states during training.

Talea Cornelius is a health psychologist and Assistant Professor of Medical Sciences at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Her research situates mental health and health behaviors within a social context.
