Nick Davis

Dr. Nick Davis is a Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, specializing in psychology and neuroscience. His research focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (e.g., tDCS) to investigate neural mechanisms of behavior and cognition, with particular emphasis on ethical implications of neuroenhancement. His educational background includes a BSc in Cognitive Science (University of Sheffield), an MSc in Cognitive Science (University of Birmingham), and a PhD in Psychology (University of Birmingham, 2005).

Research interests span neuroethics, cognitive enhancement, sensory processing (e.g., ASMR), and neuromodulation therapies. Davis collaborates with philosophers and legal scholars on ethical dimensions of neurointerventions. His recent publications (2016–2024) predominantly explore brain stimulation efficacy, sensory responses, cognitive aging, and neuroethical dilemmas, utilizing methods like fMRI and behavioral experiments.

Editorial roles include board memberships at The Cerebellum and Frontiers in Psychology.
