László Harmat has been postdoctoral research fellow at the Karolinska Institute, Department of Neuroscience in Fredrik Ulléns' group since 2011. He completed his Ph.D. in 2010 at Semmelweis University, Institute of Behavioral Sciences, Budapest, Hungary and he was a lecturer in psychology at the same institution for several years. His main research interest involves exploring the neurophysiological underpinnings of psychological flow experience; the psychophysiological and therapeutic effects of music. He also investigates the neurophysiological underpinnings of expertise and skill learning. László Harmat is a graduated music teacher and he has been leading a chamber choir in Stockholm, Sweden since 2012. Frans Ørsted Andersen has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Education, Aarhus University, Denmark, since 2010. He is involved in school research at many levels and has conducted research within areas like motivation, engagement, cooperation, attention, learning and attention at both primary and secondary school levels, using flow as a concept and a theory to understand optimal learning environments. Teaching and learning in the STEM area (Science Technology Engineering and Math) is another area researched by Frans Ørsted Andersen. He also works with comparative Nordic educational research and has looked especially at the qualities of Finnish education. He has published several books and articles on flow, mainly in Danish and Norwegian, the latest book title being "Flow i hverdagen. Navigation mellem kaos, stress og kedsomhed" [Flow in everyday life. Navigation between chaos, stress and boredom](2013).Fredrik Ullén is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, since 2010. An overall aim of his research is to analyse the neuropsychology of expert performance, i.e. the various brain mechanisms that allow us to perform at a very high level within a specific domain, after many years of training.
