Volker Thoma

Volker Thoma is a Professor at the University of East London's Childhood & Social Care research institute, specializing in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. His research examines decision-making processes, impulse control, and neurostimulation techniques, with applications in gambling behavior and addiction. Recent investigations focus on neuromodulation effects on prefrontal cortex function during gambling tasks and transcranial stimulation techniques to enhance cognitive functions.

Research interests span:

• Neurocognitive mechanisms underlying impulse control disorders
• Transcranial stimulation effects on judgment and learning
• Behavioral addiction epidemiology and measurement
• Eye-tracking methodologies in decision science
• Hydration effects on cognitive performance

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on experimental psychology approaches to decision-making, with emerging themes in public health policy implications of gambling research and neuroenhancement techniques. Article keywords reveal strong interdisciplinary connections between neuroscience, behavioral economics, and clinical psychology.
