    Authors

    Guro E. Løseth

    Guro Engvig Løseth is a former science journalist who turned to psychology and cognitive neuroscience after realizing that the really interesting questions are better asked on the other side of the microphone. In her current work at the University of Oslo, Norway, she investigates the neurochemistry of affective touch through psychopharmacological studies and psychophysical investigations using self-report and autonomic measures.

    Dan-Mikael Ellingson

    Dan-Mikael Ellingsen is a cognitive neuroscientist interested in how hedonic feelings are shaped by top-down influences like expectations, context, and social cues. In his doctoral work at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, he combines neuroimaging and psychophysics with pharmacological and cognitive manipulations to investigate how pain and pleasant touch experiences are modulated by cognitive and cross-modal influences.

    Siri Leknes

    Siri Graff Leknes is a cognitive neuroscientist, working as a Research Fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway. Her academic training includes a D.Phil. on ‘Pain, Pleasure and Relief’ at Oxford University, UK. Her research revolves around the subjective hedonic feelings associated with rewards and punishments, and individual differences in the subjective experience of pain and pleasure.
