Biography

Dr Martin Batty completed his PhD in Visual Cognition at the University of Southampton in 2003, and then took a post-doctoral position at Imperial College London before coming to the University of Nottingham to join the Motivation, Inhibition and Development in ADHD Study (MIDAS) in October 2005. When the study finished in September 2009, he began working on the CLAHRC, splitting his time between the Sir Colin Campbell Building and the Division of Psychiatry.

Current Research

The neural correlates of ADHD, especially the interaction of reward and stimulant medication on response inibition. More details of this research can be found on the MIDAS website: http://www.midas-adhd.org.uk

Structural imaging, using VBM/DBM and Freesurfer.

Past Research

The interaction of attention and emotion.

Future Research

Investigations of attention and attentional disorders using cognitive, electrophysiological or neuroimaging techniques. I am also interested in attentional biases to threat, in particular, the level at which threat-related stimuli are identified.
