Dr. Lucy Cheke is a Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge and Director of Studies for Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Sidney Sussex College. Her research focuses on learning and memory processes across health and disease, with emphasis on sub-clinical deficits associated with obesity, long COVID, and AI cognition evaluation. She leads the Cambridge Lab (http://www.camblab.psychol.cam.ac.uk/), developing translational cognitive assessments for human, animal, and computational models. Key projects include the COVCOG studies on post-COVID cognitive impacts and the Animal-AI Environment for benchmarking artificial intelligence against animal cognition.
