معرفی
Professor Christopher Ring is a faculty member in the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham, where he has been working since 1995. He holds the academic rank of Professor in Psychology and contributes significantly to research and teaching in psychophysiology and sport psychology.
- BSc in Psychology, University of Hull, UK
- MSc and PhD in Psychology, State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA
His research interests are broad and interdisciplinary, focusing on skill acquisition, performance under pressure (including 'choking' in sport), cheating in sport, interoception, and the social neuroscience of morality in sport. He also investigates how exercise and mental stress affect immune responses to vaccination, sensorimotor function, and cardiovascular reactivity.
His recent publications reflect a strong trend in psychophysiological mechanisms underlying sport performance, moral behavior in athletes, and inflammation-immune-cognitive interactions. His work often integrates physiological measures (e.g., EEG, heart rate, blood pressure) with behavioral and psychological assessments.
He has received grants from research councils, charities, and industry, and has collaborated with international experts. He teaches a popular third-year module on the psychophysiology of sport and has supervised over 30 doctoral students who now work at universities worldwide.
His research lab focuses on experimental psychophysiology, with studies involving stress testing, vaccination trials, motor performance tasks, and moral decision-making paradigms. He continues to lead innovative research on behavioral adjuvants to vaccination and the neural basis of expert performance.
