Upper limb biomechanical modelling and movement analysis based on inertial sensors
Clinical movement analysis provides quantitative information on patients with movement disorders in order to aid clinical decision making when managing their conditions. Read more
Deriving mental and emotional states from movement co-ordination patterns
A number of commercial software exists that allow deriving emotions of users based on their facial expressions (e.g. a smiley face is typically interpreted as a happy state, whereas a frowning face is often seen as representing angry or sad state). Read more
Implementing wearable sensors and Artificial Intelligence to automatically detect Parkinson’s Disease symptoms
This is a Masters by Research project. Supervisors. Dr James Connolly, Professor Joan Condell (UU), Professor Shirley Coyle (DCU). Read more
Perceptual stability in Virtual Reality across the adult lifespan
When we move, stationary parts of the world around us move on the retina. Of course, usually we correctly interpret this retinal motion as due to our own movement and not movement of the surrounding environment. Read more
Design Apothecary of Embodied Knowledge for Inclusive Spaces
The Design Apothecary of Embodied Knowledge aims to bring together hybrid processes informed by design, movement practices and emerging technologies to examine how we can better map thinking in ways of movement in architectural design. Read more
Gaze and Eye Movement in Multimodal 3D User Interfaces (AR/VR/XR)
We invite application from highly motivated PhD candidates with interest in HCI technology and their foundations in human vision and the movement of eye, head, hand and body. Read more
Using eye movement methodology to investigate attentional allocation in Psychopathy
The School of Psychology and Computer Science invites applications for a PhD (via MPhil) studentship to be based jointly in the Perception, Cognition and Neuroscience (PCN) Group at UCLan (Preston) and at Ashworth Research Centre (ARC) within Ashworth Hospital (a high-secure NHS forensic mental health inpatient unit near Liverpool). 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. Read more
Influence of listener movement on tonality and spatial quality in adaptive immersive surround sound systems
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Whilst there is a significant body of work that focuses on the spatial quality and tonality of immersive surround sound systems for a sweet spot position, these qualities under a dynamic listening scenario (i.e. Read more
PATHS – Pedestrian Adaptive Trajectory Hypothesis System
This is a PhD project. Supervisors. Dr Kevin Meehan (ATU Donegal), Dr Paul Greaney (ATU Donegal), Dr Marion McAfee (ATU Sligo) and Professor Sandra Moffett (Ulster University). Read more
Moving together in time: the effects of coordinated movements on physical performance, social cognition and overall wellbeing
Our Social Cognition and Movement Rehabilitation Lab (SCMR) investigates various topics on the role of non˗verbal behaviours in everyday conversations, social-cognitive effects of interpersonal synchrony (two or more individuals moving together in time) and explores movement interventions (e.g. Read more
Machine Learning for Improved Crowd Simulations (Advert Reference: SF22/EE/CIS/AMOS)
Crowd simulations now play an integral role in performance-based fire safety design, and they are applied in a wide variety of domains, from evacuation… Read more
Using different methodologies to maximise strength training outcomes in athletes and general population: Integration of the load-velocity profile and perceptual response
About the Project. Strength training programmes have been traditionally designed using a two-part method. Read more
Ankle moment contribution in everyday tasks: effects of ageing
Research Group:
Medical Engineering
There is a fall on stairs every 90 seconds in the UK, and an estimated 250,000 non-fatal accidents which are serious enough to merit a trip to A&E. Read more
Facial emotion analysis to assess the engagement level and reduce video conferencing fatigue
Research Group:
Visual Computing
Faces are a source of rich information about individual identity, and also about mood and mental state, being accessible windows into the mechanisms governing our emotions. Read more
