Emily Clements is a neuroscientist and PhD candidate in neuroimaging, focusing on the research in Neuroscience of Entrepreneurship in Kings College London. Emily has a background in cognitive neuroscience and utilizing computational models to better understand peoples decision-making processes. Kings College launched its first ever collaboration between the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and the Entrepreneurship Institute over a five-year-study. Meaning Emily is going to scan the brains of entrepreneurs, figure out how they think, and whether she can use these insights to help everyone become more entrepreneurial. 

Based on the findings of the study, the research is aiming to understand what might spark entrepreneurial thinking to build evidence-based educational programmes which can be used in academic curriculums.

Our conversation focused on her research to date, particularly the Entrepreneurial Brain Challenge and discussing topics such as uncertainty in our daily lives which can impact our decision making and judgement dramatically. We also looked at areas such as creativity, burnout, deep work and even the effects of caffeine on productivity.
