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
Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems
Virtual reality systems are fundamentally altering how we study human sensory perception. Similarly, to build good virtual reality systems we need a clear understanding of how the brain integrates sensory information into a robust and useful percept. Read more

Virtual reality (or mobile app) as a tool for loneliness and wellbeing
Research Group:
Psychology
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health negatively particularly when forcing many into prolonged isolation from others. Read more
Asynchronous virtual reality
Collaborating with others is an essential part of work and play, and digital platforms that facilitate remote collaboration are becoming ever more important. Read more
Challenges and opportunities of remote interaction in virtual reality
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in remote interaction worldwide, driven by the global transition to remote work and learning. Read more
Advanced virtual reality future power plant dynamic simulations
This project aims to combine computational fluid dynamics, chemical process modelling and virtual system simulation techniques to develop a dynamic modelling tool for power plant performance simulations. Read more
Multi-Instance Communication/Interaction in virtual reality.
Communication in VR world should be realistic, moving away from a game world. The VR communication and interaction varies as a common mental model is to be researched and implemented for interaction. Read more
Funded PhD- Linking neuronal function to mental health: How genetic risk factors impair cognitive flexibility and neural plasticity in schizophrenia.
Genetic risk factors for schizophrenia are clustered around genes that regulate synaptic function and adaptation, indicating common disrupted biological processes that underpin the cognitive impairments in memory and flexible learning. Read more
From Walls to Worlds: Exploring Individual and Collaborative Virtual Sketching for Neurodivergent Creators
Sketching has long served as a powerful tool for communication and expression throughout history, from early cave drawings to Renaissance masterpieces. Read more
A Platform Technology for VR Biofeedback Training under Operant Conditioning for Functional Lower Limb Weakness
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in neural engineering led by Dr. Anirban Dutta (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/metabolism-systems/anirban-dutta). Read more
Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Recent developments in low cost VR displays have led to a resurgence of research into binaural 3-D audio. Whilst a good 3-D audio experience can be given using the state of the art technologies, there are still many problems to be solved. Read more
