PBS at Clare
If you are admitted to study PBS at Clare, you will be joining a vibrant and supportive community of academics with a shared interest in what drives human and animal behaviour.
At Clare we have a range of Fellows based at the Psychology Department with expertise ranging across the neuroscience of perception, neuropsychiatric disorders, comparative cognition in birds, and human language processing. We also have a diverse Fellowship in the broader biological, social, political, anthropological and medical sciences; to support the elective papers that students may choose from outside the core PBS Tripos.
Clare is conveniently located in the heart of Cambridge, just a short walk across the Market Square to get to the Psychology Department and Psychology Library.

My work uses computational models, pharmacology and brain imaging to understand how humans learn to build adaptive expectations about the world around us, other people and ourselves. The aim is to understand how and when predictions are realised in the brain, how these mechanisms develop in babies and how they might underlie individual differences in how the world is experienced by people with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric conditions.
