Real-time Visual and Haptic Feedback of Grasping Movements in Virtual Reality
The project we propose is multidisciplinary, combining research into 3D graphics, physics, AI, and virtual reality techniques from computer science with new advances in brain mechanisms underlying perception and action, and multisensory integration from cognitive neuroscience. Read more
EASTBIO: thalamocortical circuitry contribute to decision makings in cognitive flexibility?
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Cognitive flexibility refers to the ability to switch choices/actions based on changing environmental factors, experiences and expectations, a key executive function that is vital for an individual’s survival. Read more
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. 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
Predictors of neurodevelopmental outcomes in early-onset epilepsy: leveraging AI in video-based and electronic health records (BEE-HIVES)
The aim of this PhD is to identify predictors of neurodevelopmental outcomes in early-onset epilepsy, by combining advances in machine learning techniques with linkage of routine maternal and infant medical records and prospective measurement of young children with epilepsy over the first three years of life. Read more
Fluency and Context in Recognition Memory
This project relates to a sort of ‘memory illusion’. On a recognition memory test, increasing the perceptual fluency of a test cue increases the likelihood that the word will be endorsed as ‘familiar’, even if it hasn’t been seen in the study phase (and therefore should have been called ‘new’). Read more
Face identity recognition: Exploring the role of observer motion and motion of viewed person
The ability to identify people around us is crucial to our everyday lives, determining the nature of our social interactions and relationships. Read more
Understanding the impact of interior design choices on inclusivity in learning environments
Applications are invited for a PhD project jointly supervised by Professor Ute Leonards (School of Psychological Science) and Dr Joel Ross (Engineering) at the University of Bristol, UK, to investigate how the sensory makeup of a University’s study and learning spaces affects people’s ability to learn, both individually and collaboratively, in an inclusive way with neurodiversity in mind. Read more
