Dr Andrew Martin

About

Andrew works for both The School of Psychology and Kent Medway Medical School (KMMS). He employs a translational neuroscience and experimental psychology approach to study cognitive enhancement, social neuroscience, and applied cognitive neuroscience. He is also interested in how we interact with technology, including artificial intelligence (AI).
In his research to date, he has employed cognitive testing, functional and structural neuroimaging, genetic endophenotyping, and non-invasive brain stimulation methods, contributing research across a range of diverse fields.
A strong focus of his clinical research is trying to understand cognition
relevant to mental health with the goal of improving existing treatment options and providing novel treatments. He is also interested in how cognition changes across the healthy lifespan and in disorders of ageing.
