Reducing Health Inequities through Virtual Reality Interventions: How Embodiment can Tackle Racial and Gender Biases in the Perception of Other’s Pain
Pain is one of the most common health issues reported with chronic pain alone affecting between one third and half of the UK population making fair and equal access to pain treatment a vital part of ensuring an equitable healthcare system. Read more
Optimising the measurement of working memory for assessment of speech-in-noise perception
The ability to hear and understand speech in a noisy background is vitally important to good communication, and ultimately a good quality of life. Read more
EASTBIO: Sense and Sensibility: How Brain Plasticity Underpins Sensory Experience and Learning
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
How does the brain change when we learn? It is becoming increasingly evident that synaptic plasticity maybe the change that underpins learned-behaviour, sensory perception, and memory formation. Read more
Multimodal active perception for safe autonomous vehicles
Robotic active perception is a key factor to develop autonomous systems capable of safely and intelligently interacting with humans and their surrounding environment. Read more
Last chance to apply
Personalising adjustments to information visualisations for optimal perception accounting for individual differences including ageing.
A fully funded PhD opportunity is available for a collaborative project between the London Centre for Urban Science Progress (CUSP) in the Department of Informatics and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IOPPN). 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
The role of neural oscillations in the formation of new speech memories
Speech memories are like the internal movies of our lives, allowing us to replay past events or to imagine the future. When you remember a conversation for instance, you recollect a myriad of details across senses such as the face and the voice sound associated with the same person. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Mechanistic perception of evening coolness in Arabidopsis
Climate change is leading to warmer evening temperatures relative to daytime temperatures. It is critical for us to understand how plants will respond to these changing temperature conditions to control their growth and development, as this knowledge will help us create more resilient agricultural systems. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology Project: Mechanistic perception of evening coolness in Arabidopsis
Lead supervisor. Prof S J Davis. Co-supervisors. Dr Dapne Ezer and Dr Peter O'Toole. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. 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
Understanding the sensory perception of topically applied products
The cosmetics industry relies on consumer’s evaluation of their products to understand if they are desirable. However, little research exists systematically exploring relationships between sensory perception of tactile properties, consumer liking, emotional response and physical rheology. Read more
Robust perception and decision making for autonomous vehicles
Development of autonomous vehicles is seeing a growth 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.

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.
