Simultaneous measures of brain and blood oxygenation: Revealing the function behind ‘functional’ brain mapping signals

University of Sheffield
School of Psychology
A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. Read more

Biological role of neuropeptides and their receptors

University of Reading
School of Pharmacy
Cell signalling is critical to the co-ordination and functioning of all cells. Cell signalling allows cells to co-ordinate activities within the intracellular environment as well as ensuring cells know how to correctly respond to other cells and to an ever-changing extracellular environment as well.

Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems

University of Reading
School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences
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
