About the Author

Michael W. Parsons, PhD, ABPP, graduated from the University of Virginia and earned his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. He completed an internship at the University of Florida/Shands Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). He was on the faculty of MCW briefly before joining the faculty of West Virginia University (WVU) School of Medicine, where he became an associate professor. During his 7 years at WVU, Dr. Parsons directed the clinical psychology internship program and developed a program for clinical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He joined the Cleveland Clinic in 2007, serving as Staff in the Section of Neuropsychology with appointments in the Center for Behavioral Health and the Burkhardt Brain Tumor Center. Dr. Parsons' research has included numerous functional brain imaging studies of processes of learning and memory. His work has included studies of the clinical applications of fMRI. More recently, his research has focused on neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies of clinical conditions, including brain tumor and concussion. He has developed the program for neuropsychology at the Burkhardt Brain Tumor Center at the Cleveland Clinic.
 
Thomas A. Hammeke, PhD, ABPP, graduated summa cum laude from Fort Hays State University and obtained his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of South Dakota. He completed an internship at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in Milwaukee and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). He then joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at the MCW, where he became a professor and has been director of the Division of Neuropsychology for 25 years. While there, he also assisted in development and served as the director of training of an APA-accredited postdoctoral residency program. He transitioned to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at MCW in 2010 and became the lead neuropsychologist for the Polytrauma Program at Zablocki VAMC and the preceptor for a postdoctoral residency program in clinical neuropsychology. Dr. Hammeke has received research grants from the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN), American Heart Association of Wisconsin, and NFL Charities, among other organization and foundations. His research has concentrated on use of neurocognitive tests and functional imaging techniques in the study of neuropathological conditions, in particular, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. He has coauthored more than 75 peer-reviewed research publications, 25 book chapters, and five books, and has made scientific presentations on his work in North America, Europe and North Korea. He has served as an associate editor for the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society and on the editorial boards of Neuropsychology and The Clinical Neuropsychologist, and done ad hoc research reviews for 11 neuroscience journals and the National Institute for Disability Research and Rehabilitation. He was the founding president of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology, and served as president of APA Division 40 (Neuropsychology), and the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology. He is a fellow of APA (Division 40) and the NAN. He was honored with the Distinguished Neuropsychologist Award from the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology in 2013.
