Christophers Chambers, Professor of Cognitive Neurosciences, Cardiff University, UK

The principal research interests of Chris Chambers include the use of brain stimulation (TMS, TES) and brain imaging techniques (fMRI, MRS, MEG) to understand cognitive control, attention and awareness in the human brain. He is especially interested in translational applications of cognitive neuroscience in the domain of obesity and behaviour change. His group is also working on the simultaneous combination of TMS and MRI, as well as technical advances in TMS methods to improve the precision and reliability of cortical stimulation.

In addition to his core research programme in cognitive neuroscience he also pursue interests in the relationship between science and the media, the role of science in shaping evidence-based public policy, and the promotion of open scientific practices including data sharing and study pre-registration.
