Adam Hampshire is Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London.

Adam Hampshire studied Natural Sciences in at the University of Cambridge specialising in Experimental Psychology, where he also completed his PhD in Functional Brain Imaging before undertaking postdoctoral research at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Cambridge and then in Canada. He established his first lab at the Department of Brain Sciences in Imperial College London in 2013 then moved to King's College London in 2024.

A popular product of his work is the Cognitron, a flexible online platform that has been developed to enable a wide variety of cognitive studies to be conducted at very large population scale, with repeat assessment timepoints and for minimal cost. Cognitron has supported some of the largest online studies ever conducted and supports a rapidly growing body of academic and industry research projects as well as healthcare applications.
