Simon Baron-Cohen

Simon Baron-Cohen is a renowned British psychologist and Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Cambridge.

As Director of the Autism Research Centre, he has made significant contributions to autism research, particularly in developing theories about mind-blindness and the "male brain" in autism.

His work focuses on empathising-systemising theory, which reconceptualizes psychological sex differences.

Baron-Cohen's research extends beyond autism to explore empathy, cruelty, and human behavior more broadly.

His interdisciplinary approach combines psychology, neuroscience, and genetics to understand complex human traits and conditions.
