Computational abstraction for biologically plausible models of reasoning

  Research Group: Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics
Project Description. AI research today adheres to a data-first paradigm. From a mathematical perspective, however, data can be seen as a product of models, i.e., mathematical assumptions such as structures, variables, and parameters, underlying AI systems.  . Read more

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood. Read more
