How does the human brain work? As you read this text, the pixels on your screen are converted into a series of spike trains passing along the neural pathways in your brain, allowing you to understand the content. Read more
Intelligence is one of the pillars that allows some animals to live so complex lives. Scientific approaches recently proposed have been capable of simulating networked systems that reproduce similar emergent manifestations of behavior as those observed in the brain. Read more
In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have been applied in various fields of numerical modelling to learn solutions of mathematical models from data rather than by approximating equations and solving them by standard numerical methods. Read more
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder that increases the risk of fractures and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Vertebral fractures (VFs) are often an early manifestation of osteoporosis but are significantly under-diagnosed in clinical practice. Read more
The basal ganglia play a critical role in shaping behaviour. Obsessive compulsive disorder is an extreme example of how imbalanced cortico-basal ganglia network activity can lead to inflexible behaviour. Read more

Understanding and predicting individual complex behaviour in healthy and pathological conditions is a key goal in neuroscience and psychology. Read more
What could we learn if we were able to see individual photons with our eyes? Can we learn more if we can see when the photons arrive as well? Gaining access to time information from single photons can allow us to detect the distance to object (LiDAR), see through walls, fog etc. Read more
This project aims to study deep neural networks behaviours against clean and adversarial datasets. In addition, projects will investigate different types of attacks on deep neural networks and study the potentiality of making neural robust against these attacks. Read more
Artificial intelligence techniques are more and more used in many fields. The Liverpool team working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been involved for many years in the development and performance evaluation of neural networks applied to high energy physics data analysis.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), the application of electrical current directly to the scalp, has been shown to improve memory in healthy adults [1]. Read more
This project is part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Geospatial Systems. The successful candidate will be co-supervised by academics from within the School of Engineering at Newcastle University and work alongside our external partner Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL).
