Overview

Clare Press is affiliated with Birkbeck, University of London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience. This includes specialized subfields such as social psychology, experimental and cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and clinical psychology.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics related to neural dynamics and brain function, neural and behavioral psychology studies, and visual perception and processing mechanisms. Additional areas of interest include action observation and synchronization, face recognition and perception, embodied and extended cognition, and functional brain connectivity studies.

Notable recent publications include:

  • "Action biases perceptual decisions toward expected outcomes." (2020, Journal of Experimental Psychology General)
  • "Action Enhances Predicted Touch" (2021, Psychological Science)
  • "Beliefs and desires in the predictive brain" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "Cancelling cancellation? Sensorimotor control, agency, and prediction" (2022, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews)
  • "Predictions and errors are distinctly represented across V1 layers" (2024, Current Biology)

The scientist regularly collaborates with several colleagues, including Daniel Yon, Emily R. Thomas, Peter Kok, Richard Cook, and Floris P. de Lange.

Frequent publication venues for Clare Press include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cortex, Current Biology, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, and Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
