Hilsabeck, PhD, ABPP earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology with a sub-specialization in neuropsychology from Louisiana State University, and she completed a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology at University of California, San Diego. Dr. Hilsabeck is a board certified clinical neuropsychologist who works at a large, global contract research organization, INC Research, as Senior Clinical Scientist on the Clinical Surveillance Team in the CNS Business Unit. Prior to joining INC Research in 2012, Dr. Hilsabeck worked for 13 years in clinical, administrative, and academic research positions, most recent as Associate Professor of Psychiatry with tenure at University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio (UTHSCSA). She continues to carry an appointment as Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UTHSCSA where she has been on faculty since 2006. Dr. Hilsabeck currently serves as Associate Editor for The Clinical Neuropsychologist and is on the editorial board of Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology and Neuropsychology Review. She is Past President of the National Academy of Neuropsychology. References 1. Bauer, R.M., Iverson, G.L., Cernich, A.N., Binder, L.M., Ruff, R.M., & Naugle, R.I. (2012).

Dr. Roebuck Spencer earned her PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology from the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University Joint Doctoral Program. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine and The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) in Houston, TX. She currently works in private practice in New Orleans at the Jefferson Neurobehavioral Group and remains active in research within her practice and through collaborations at the University of Oklahoma. She is a Fellow and current board member of NAN and previously chaired the NAN Professional Affairs and Information Committee (PAIC). Her research interests include traumatic brain injury, computerized neuropsychological testing, and performance validity testing. key role in understanding non-invasive neurostimulation through their regulatory science research using computational modeling conducted in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health in the Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories. Dr. Leonardo Angelone, a biomedical engineer in the Division of Biomedical Physics, informed the group of the FDA's collaboration with several academic institutions to produce a model of the human head and neck, the "MIDA" model2, which is freely available to the public to facilitate research in this area. During breakout sessions discussing the use of non-invasive neurostimulation devices, some ethical concerns that may be of interest to neuropsychologists were use or misuse of these devices by children and adolescents whose brains have not fully developed and by individuals with neuropsychiatric conditions in which use of these devices may be contraindicated. This concern was raised because these devices may be purchased for individual use and not by prescription or at the recommendation of a health care provider who will monitor use or apply the technology. Closing Comments and Additional Information: Neuropsychology was well represented by Dr. Alison Cernich who spoke on technical aspects in computerized cognitive assessment and Dr. Philip Harvey who spoke on technology assisted cognitive assessment. In addition, Drs. Tresa Roebuck Spencer and Peter Como served as breakout session facilitators.
