Optimization of a Speech-In-Noise test for Auditory Fitness for Duty
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the College of Health and Life Sciences, to be undertaken within the Cognition and Neuroscience Research Group (. Read more
Auditory cognition and human factors
Expressions of interest are invited on any topics related to either auditory cognition and working memory or to human factors as they relate to energy conservation and climate change. Read more
Characterising Autistic Auditory Processing
Research Group:
Acoustics Research Centre
The concept of aural diversity (Drever, 2017) has recently emerged as a novel way of reconceptualising hearing differences. Aural diversity aims to accommodate the whole range of aural experience, including examples such as the musician with tinnitus, the lip-reading churchgoer and the autistic school student. Read more
Investigating the positive and negative effects of noise exposure: increased toughening of the ears vs. increased risk of hearing damage
It is well-established that high levels of noise exposure can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus (i.e. a ringing or buzzing in the ears). Read more
The influence of individual differences in brain rhythms on language and music competency
The PhD project will aim to answer the question why some individuals have better speech comprehension skills or are more musical than others. Read more
Exploration of Place and the Built Environment: support for independent living for Older People with Sensory Impairment (OPwSI)
Following the COVID19 pandemic and the Hackett review of the Grenfell fire, new restrictions and challenges will arise in building and urban design. Read more
Using machine learning to characterize the impact of hearing loss on neural coding
A PhD studentship is available at the UCL Ear Institute as part of the EPSRC Doctoral Training Programme. . The student will work with Prof Nicholas Lesica (. Read more
Detecting Pilots’ Cognitive Overload From their Brain Signals
Fighter pilots experience high cognitive loads (termed “cognitive overload”) because of complex, multimodal and time sensitive information environments. Read more
PhD opportunities in Cognitive Neuroscience
Join cognitive neuroscientists, clinical neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, psychopharmacologists, sports and exercise psychologists, and carry out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to understand and restore human brain function and health. Read more
Understanding how individual differences in hearing impairment and age impact on audio-visual speech perception
For the one in six people who struggle to hear and thus to communicate, being able to see a talker’s face provides additional information which boosts their ability to understand speech, particularly in noisy environments where hearing aids are often not of much help. Read more
The virtual body schema project: How can body schema be objectively defined and measured?
The body schema can be loosely defined as the representation of the body in space, i.e., how you know you can reach the pint at the bar but not the bottle behind it; that you can fit through the door but not the cat-flap; that you must dive to kick a ball or duck to avoid a punch. Read more
Auralisation in digital heritage
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Computer visualisation is often used in archaeology, history and cultural heritage to render particular scenes or buildings and aims to offer an additional understanding, insight or experience of a past environment, as well as more effective audience engagement. Read more
