Clara Louise Lopes, PhD

Welcome to my online portfolio

Hi, I’m Clara.

I’m a cognitive neuroscientist and applied researcher interested in how we understand human cognition and behavior, and how we translate that science into meaningful real-world applications.

My work spans visual attention, language, cognitive aging, human factors, eye tracking, and electrophysiology, alongside clinical research in neuroscience, psychiatry, and emerging therapeutics. Across those areas, I’m especially interested in how behavioral and physiological measures can help us understand processes we can’t directly observe, and how that evidence can inform better research, products, and decisions.

My background has taken me from academic cognitive neuroscience to human factors and medical-device research to leading clinical trials and scientific strategy in biotech.
