Social and climatic influences on animal habitat use and movement patterns
All animals constantly make spatial decisions relating to the different areas in which they live, but we know relatively little about how social and climatic factors influence habitat choices and movement patterns. Read more
A comparative approach to bioinspiration: learning from the similarities and differences in the collective behaviour of fish and ants
Project description. It is frequently argued that the collective behaviour of animal groups can provide bioinspiration for engineering autonomous systems of interacting agents, particularly swarms of robots. Read more
MyWorld: Peripheral Vision and Coding
This project aims to exploit a knowledge of peripheral vision to enhance and measure viewer experience. Immersive media applications, such as VR, are heavily reliant on a wide field of view, high spatial and temporal resolutions, and high dynamic range, all of which require high bit rates. Read more
MyWorld: Intelligent Low Light Denoising, Colorisation Enhancement
Broadcasters and streaming organisations are commissioning content with increasingly challenging acquisition specifications that extend our experiences into faster, smaller, more colourful, darker, and generally more immersive spaces. Read more
MyWorld: End-to-End Learned Video Compression
In recent years, video compression has played an essential role in the application and uptake of video technologies across film, television, terrestrial and satellite transmission, surveillance and particularly Internet video. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Circadian Oscillators in Drinking and Feeding Brain Circuits.
Daily or circadian rhythms pervade all aspects of our physiology and behaviour (Hastings et al., 2018). By convention, these rhythms are attributed to the activity of the brain’s suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Read more
Machine Learning for Long-Term Video Understanding
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship in Computer Vision and Machine Learning on the topic of Long-Term Video Understanding. . Read more
MscR: Early executive function development
Dr Holmboe’s research focuses on the development of executive functions during infancy and early childhood. Executive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive abilities that allow us to guide our behaviour and make adaptive decisions in everyday life. Read more

Advanced analytics applied to endoscopic analysis of equine upper airway function
The project. Upper airway obstructions (‘wind problems’) affect the health, welfare and performance of racehorses and are best evaluated by performing endoscopy, however, assessment is subjective, attracting variable agreement. Read more
SELF-FUNDED MSC BY RESEARCH: ABCC9 mutations and risk of sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important clinical problem and has a lasting impact on relatives of the deceased, particularly when sudden death occurs… Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Probing the projections of different types of dopamine neurons
What makes one neuron different from another? How can we define different “types” of cells? Are cell types important?. In Parkinson’s disease some dopamine neurons seem to be more vulnerable to neurodegeneration. Read more

Unravelling the Role of Attention in Complex Decisions
Keywords. decision-making, attention, cognition. Understanding how humans make decisions is a central theme in the behavioural sciences, with wide-ranging implications in fields such as medicine, engineering, economics, and public policy. Read more
MSC BY RESEARCH - Preserving t-tubule function in adult cardiac myocytes in short-term culture
Invaginations of the sarcolemma of adult cardiac myocytes known as transverse (or t-) tubules account for up to 65% of the total sarcolemma surface and play a key role in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and cell signalling (Hong & Shaw, 2017). Read more

Compasses and odometers of the brain
Have you ever wondered how insects migrate across the globe without getting lost? Come, work with us. Insects are well known for being accomplished navigators-moths, butterflies, locusts, dragonflies, and beetles can travel across countries and continents during seasonal migration. Read more
