Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Fleming is a professor of cognitive neuroscience at UCL and Group Leader at the Max Planck UCL Centre, known for pioneering computational and neural models of metacognition and conscious experience. With a PhD from UCL and prior training at Oxford and NYU, he combines rigorous experimental work with formal modeling to link confidence and awareness reports to brain activity. He has published extensively, won major awards including the British Academy Wiley Prize and the Francis Crick Medal, and leads an ERC-funded ConsciousComputation programme. Beyond the lab, he translates his research into public-facing books, corporate training, and commentary on leadership, politics and climate, reflecting a rare blend of technical depth and real-world engagement. An unexpected thread through his work is a sustained interest in whether and how metacognitive architectures might arise in AI, bridging human neuroscience with emerging machine intelligence.
