Jorge Martins

Jorge Martins is a Junior Researcher at WJCR (affiliated with ISPA - Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida) in Portugal, funded by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) and ISPA. He serves as an Integrated Member of the Social Cognitive and Applied Neuroscience Team, focusing on psychological and neuroscientific approaches to understanding addiction mechanisms.

His research methodology integrates multiple advanced techniques:

• Contemporary psychological theory and machine learning predictive modeling
• Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) for real-world data collection
• Multimodal neuroimaging including EEG/ERPs and fMRI analysis
• Neural connectivity mapping to understand addiction pathways

Dr. Martins' publication record (2018-2024) reveals a consistent research trajectory examining how stress responses, craving mechanisms, reward processing, and executive functioning relate to alcohol use disorders. His work frequently bridges behavioral assessments with advanced neuroimaging to provide comprehensive insights into addiction susceptibility and heterogeneous treatment outcomes.

As a researcher funded by FCT, Dr. Martins maintains active collaborations, particularly with Yale University researchers including Dr. Rajita Sinha's laboratory. His work appears in high-impact journals across addiction research, neuroscience, and psychology, demonstrating methodological sophistication and clinical relevance for developing personalized addiction interventions.
