Impact of Sensory Loss (Vision and Hearing) on Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life after Stroke

Stroke can cause a range of sensory impairments (Connell, 2007; Hazelton et al., 2022; Sullivan & Hedman, 2008), including visual deficits such as visual field loss and eye movement disorders (Sand et al., 2013), as well as hearing loss (Bamiou, 2015). Read more

Human sensory neuron and macrophage co-culture; developing a model to test agents capable of disrupting painful neuroimmune signalling

TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE. Project Description. A fully funded four-year PhD position is available in the Weir lab at the University of Glasgow (https://www.weirlab.org) as part of a collaboration with Dr Franziska Denk (Co-supervisor- King’s College London). Read more

PhD Opportunity - Defining the sensory neuron response to nerve injury.

'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. A PhD position is available in the Spinal Cord Group (SCG) at the University of Glasgow, researching the mammalian somatosensory nervous system. Read more

Characterisation of a novel molecular temperature receptor

Painful stimuli are detected and processed at the level of the primary sensory nerve, which is the first in a chain of nerves that deliver information of potential environmental harm to the brain. Read more

PhD Opportunity - Investigating the effects of expectation on cortical feedback processing using fMRI

'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project background. Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate the brain’s processing of our visual world, aiding in the recognition of distorted or obstructed visual inputs. Read more

Multistack Resistive Random-Access Memories for Optoelectronic Applications

The Centre for Electronics Frontiers (CEF) led by Regius Chair of Engineering Prof Prodromakis, brings together diverse and interdisciplinary expertise for transforming modern society through technology. Read more

Enhancing Presence in Multi-User VR: Embodiment, Gamification, and AI-Supported Sensory Virtual Experiences.

  Research Group: Music, Drama, Film and Screen, and Heritage Museum Studies
This PhD project explores how people can feel more present and engaged when using virtual reality (VR) with others. While many studies have focused on VR experiences for one person, this research looks at how multiple users can share immersive experiences simultaneously. Read more

Neurodiversity in parent-child relationships in the early years: Researching the diversity of the parent-infant system, and developing guidance

Measuring the precision and accuracy of signals supporting audiovisual perception during active self-movement

  Research Group: Perception and Action
Motion perception relies on the ability to integrate ‘non-image’ signals (vestibular and motor cues) about self-movement with sensory measurements from vision, hearing and touch. Read more
