Developing Human-Centric AI for Social Robots
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social robotics are transforming how we interact, communicate, and support human well-being. Driven by advances in AI, human-centric social robots are emerging as a powerful tool to address real-world challenges, including enhancing social communication and promoting mental health. Read more
The evolution of written symbolic communication: The autonomous development of visual symbolic systems in artificial agents
Supervisory team. Dr Jonathon Hare, Dr Daniela Mihai. Studying written communication protocols emergent between artificial agents (e.g. Read more
CSC PhD Studentships in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
The school of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science of the Queen Mary University of London is inviting applications for several PhD Studentships in specific areas in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science co-funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Using Brain Computer Interface to Improve Cognitive Performance
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive technique commonly used to measure brain activity. In this project, we aim at using EEG Biofeedback (brain-computer interface (BCI)) for improving cognitive performance (e.g. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP - Developing Multimodal Biomarkers and Computational Models for Objective and Subjective Impairments in Altered Cognitive States Using fNIRS, EEG, and Eye-Tracking
Additional supervisors. Dr Lars Muckli (University of Glasgow) & Prof Daniele Faccio (University of Glasgow). Background. Altered cognitive states such as mental fatigue, drowsiness, and brain fog have significant impact on human performance, quality of life, and long-term health. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP – Chronic pain, analgesic prescribing, and cognitive decline
Additional supervisors - Prof Sara Hägg (Karolinska Intitutet) & Dr Barbara Nicholl (University of Glasgow). Background: . Read more
Neural Networks and Bayesian Methods in Computational Neuroscience
This PhD will use deep learning methods in computational neuroscience, with a particular focus on modelling and analysis in neuroimaging. Read more
Intertemporal Processes in Neurocognitive Development
Join a programme of work that aims to build conceptual and empirical bridges between the physiological, psychological, and cultural influences on human adolescent development. Read more
The development of gaze understanding (DOHERTY_UPSY25LEVERHULME)
Are you passionate about developmental psychology and eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in social cognition? We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship supported by the Leverhulme Trust and supervised by Dr Martin Doherty and Professor Andrew Bayliss. Read more
Human cognitive factors in understanding antimicrobial and pesticide resistance
Project ID. SS_9. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. The applicant will have strong interests in the fields of cognitive science and its application to global sustainability around sustainable farming and public health. Read more
Linking dairy cows’ day-to-day behaviours with affective states and welfare.
Background. The welfare of animals used in the food system is attracting growing attention, but our ability to assess animal welfare is still limited. Read more
Investigating capacity for sentience in rodents and molluscan invertebrates
Background. Public and political concern for animal and animal rights is based on the assumption that many animals are sentient; that they have the capacity for feelings, and may, therefore, experience suffering. Read more
Towards Better Collaboration with LM Agents: Predicting and Producing Effective Task Oriented Dialogue
Effective communication becomes increasingly challenging in collaborative settings with time constraints or high cognitive load. In such settings, like emergency situations, unfamiliar navigation, or explaining complex concepts, a speaker's ability to recognize and adapt to their partner’s limitations is essential. Read more
