Artificial Intelligence based Electric Vehicle Motor Control
Electric vehicle development has been a hot topic around the world. This PhD programme will develop artificial intelligence based control methods to optimize the performance of electric vehicle motor drive system in terms of reliability and efficiency. Read more
Neural and behavioural correlates of speech production in Parkinson's disease
Speech is a complex task requiring highly coordinated movements of a large group of respiratory, laryngeal and articulatory muscles and involves precise integration with auditory and somatosensory feedback to plan and execute speech movements. Read more
EASTBIO: Thalamocortical control of goal-directed movement
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Executing appropriately timed, reproducible actions is essential for interacting with our environment and ultimately survival. Read more
New-generation neuromusculoskeletal computational modelling for digital patient
Location. Streatham Campus, Exeter. The University of Exeter’s Department of Engineering is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship. Read more
The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC)
ELSC is home to an internationally acclaimed brain research community, comprised of world-renowned scientists and faculty, talented postdoctoral scholars and students from across the globe. 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.

White Rose BBSRC DTP: The structural and mechanistic basis of neuronal sodium-activated potassium channel function and pharmacology.
The neuronal sodium-activated potassium channel KNa1.1 (KCNT1) couples sodium influx to changes in membrane excitability and action potential firing. Read more
Funded PhD - Developing new therapies for compulsive behaviours by understanding the neural control of flexible action selection
Compulsive behaviours can take many forms and can be triggered by multifaceted factors. To understand the neural mechanisms of behavioural dysregulation, the project will first focus on studying binge eating disorder (BED). Read more
Multimodal Control of Prosthetic Limbs/Paralysed Muscles
This project aims to enhance the quality of life of patients with amputees, spinal cord injury, stroke and brain injury by developing advanced control strategies for artificial limbs. Read more
Investigating the role of SOD1 in sporadic Motor Neuron Disease patients using structural proteomics
Background. Motor Neuron Disease/Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex neurological disorder characterised by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons that is thought to be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction leading to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Read more
PhD in Neuroscience & Mental Health - Using a new translational in vivo model to understand the neurobiology underlying ADHD subtypes
Summary. In mice and humans loss-of-function of the steroid sulfatase (STS) enzyme results in inattention but enhanced motor response inhibition; we aim to understand the neurobiology underlying this dissociation using a new mouse model. Read more
Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: Brain stimulation and neurophysiological investigations of central nervous system changes in pathological pain, and their augmentation by treatment
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
