Virtual Reality and Safety Training: an evolutionary approach to enhancing hazard perception in cycling communities
Proposed supervisory team. Dr Shabnam Sadeghi Esfahlani. Dr Matthew A. Timmis. Dr Kjell van Paridon. Theme. AI, Robotics and Automation. Impact themes. Read more
Investigating the Role of Subcortical Visual Pathways for 'Blindsight' and Gist Perception in Parkinson's Disease Using Multimodal Neuroimaging and Computational Neuroscience
Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more
Recognising uniquely human emotions
Background. Epidemiological research suggests that people’s ability to build lasting and trusting social relationships helps to protect their mental and physical health across the lifespan. Read more
Extending social perception theories to advertising context
Research Group:
Centre for Societies and Groups
Research Group. Centre for Societies and Groups. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Magdalena Zawisza. Theme. Consumer Psychology, Gender and Sexualities, Identity and Social Issues, Social Perception and Advertising. Read more
Do experiences in Virtual Reality change body perception and satisfaction, in individuals with and without eating disorders
Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects 1/110 births, causes 220,000 deaths/year and affects 13+ million worldwide. The aetiology of CHD is complex, with evidence of both genetic and environmental causes, and identifying sub-phenotypes of CHD remains challenging. Read more
AI and Cognitive Robotics towards Visual-tactile Perception of Materials and Human-Robot Interaction
Industrial robots are programmed to perform operational tasks efficiently. In cognitive robotics, we expect the robots to be “truly intelligent”, such that they understand the surrounding world as we do. Read more
Exploring the Public Perception towards Artificial Intelligence: Generation Z’s ‘Narrative’
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time or 6-year part-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Organizations, Systems and People within the Faculty of Business and Law and will be supervised by Dr Aamir Amin, Dr Zeeshan Bhatti and Professor Mark Xu. Read more
Perception of social stimuli in neurotypical and neurodiverse populations
Being able to accurately and efficiently interpret social stimuli has enormous adaptive value, and difficulties in social perception are associated with anxiety in social situations. Read more
Investigating how tactile cues can influence people’s perception of healthy food.
Research Group:
Centre for Societies and Groups
Research Group. Centre for Societies and Groups. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Cathrine Jansson-Boyd. Theme. Consumer Psychology. Read more
Use of surface textures to improve tactile perception
Many human interactions with objects and surfaces rely on perception of the tactile interface. This could be when gripping objects with hands, or controlling walking movements through the physical feedback felt through the soles of the feet. Read more
Improving the effectiveness of social advertising
Research Group:
Centre for Societies and Groups
Research Group. Centre for Societies and Groups. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Magdalena Zawisza. Theme. Consumer Psychology, Gender and Sexualities, Identity and Social Issues, Social Advertising. Read more
The self-perception of adults with orofacial clefting
Introduction. Orofacial clefting (OFC) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide and the most common of all facial birth defects. Read more
Robust perception, decision making and path prediction for autonomous vehicles
Development of autonomous vehicles are seeing a grown in many different applications. As we increase the levels of automation and move into Self-driving cars, it is expected that these systems will combine a variety of sensors to perceive their surroundings in a robust manner and avoid human errors.
