Christopher Chambers is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Cardiff University's School of Psychology. His research spans open science reform, cognitive neuroscience, and translational applications in behavior change. He founded numerous initiatives including Registered Reports, the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN), and the Royal Society Replications initiative, while chairing the Registered Reports Committee at the Center for Open Science.
Chambers' research focuses on: 1) Developing and promoting open research practices to enhance scientific reliability; 2) Investigating cognitive control mechanisms using brain stimulation (TMS, TES) and neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG); and 3) Translational applications in obesity and behavior change through response inhibition training paradigms. His work bridges cognitive neuroscience with metascience reform.
His publications demonstrate strong trends in open science methodology (Registered Reports, reproducibility frameworks) and cognitive-behavioral interventions, particularly examining how inhibitory control training affects food valuation and eating behaviors. Recent work emphasizes robustness verification and implementation of open science practices across disciplines.
Awards include:
- 2018 British Psychological Society Book Award for 'The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology'
- 2018 PROSE Award from Association of American Publishers
He leads major grants including a €1.99M ERC Consolidator Grant on cognitive control training and a £188k Arnold Foundation grant on Registered Reports. Chambers founded the Insciout research group (science communication) and UK Evidence Information Service (science-policy interface), and currently advises the Peer Community in Registered Reports.
