Developing an AI-driven BCI-based neurofeedback device to treat chronic post-viral fatigue syndrome
The Faculty of Science and Health at the University of Essex is offering one PhD research Scholarship for a student to participate in a joint project with g.tec (gtec.at), NHS, and BT. Read more
SELF-FUNDED MSCR - Neural circuit mechanisms underlying the role of acetylcholine in cerebellar dependent behaviour.
The cerebellum is a crucial structure in the brain for controlling behaviour, including motor coordination and learning. Read more
Advancing FutureNeuro therapies towards translation
Fully Funded PhD Scholarship in Advancing FutureNeuro therapies towards translation School of Medicine, Regenerative Medicine Institute, University of Galway; FutureNeuro Research Centre, RCSI. Read more
Using games to study the behavioural and neural correlates of active auditory learning
Project ID. S3 8. As we listen to the world around us, we automatically learn the structure of the sounds we hear and form predictions about what we will hear next. Read more
The brain in sport: Investigating a theoretical model of the cognitive correlates of sporting performance
Project ID. S3 1. Around 50%-60% of individuals in the UK report playing sport on a weekly basis. Two million people in England alone play football at least twice a month. Read more
Structural analysis of clostridial toxins, their analogues and derivatives
OVERVIEW. The PhD project will be aimed at elucidating the molecular structure of various Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNTs) molecules, more specifically the structural analysis of their domains, derivates and homologues, including analysis of complexes (e.g., receptors, substrates). Read more
Informatics approaches to analysing the interplay between microglia, astrocytes and neurons in Aß-induced associated synapse loss
Supervisors. Prof Giles Hardingham, Director, UK Dementia Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh. Dr Owen Dando, Head Bioinformatician, UK Dementia Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh. Read more
Investigating neural oscillations in the migraine brain using electrophysiology and behavioural performance
Project ID. S3 7. Migraine is a common but debilitating neurological condition, however it is poorly understood and commonly misdiagnosed. Read more
Brain Connectivity Correlates of Level of Construal and Psychological Distance, across the Autism Spectrum and across Cultures, Genders, and Individuals
Project ID. S3 5. Supported by findings in genetics and systems neuroscience, categorical classifications of neurodevelopmental disorders are being reframed as sets of dimensional variations that overlap one another and that exist throughout the general population. Read more
Brain regulation of obesity through appetite and metabolism
Project ID: SST_2_7. Body weight is regulated in the brain through appetite and energy expenditure, driving food intake and altering basal metabolism and physical activity. Read more
PhD Studentship in quantitative genetics of neurodevelopment
The student will have the opportunity to work on a project analysing data from large-scale longitudinal and developmental cohorts with a focus on infant and child phenotypes. Read more
Fully Funded PhD studentships available for October 2023
FULLY FUNDED 3 year PhD studentships available for October 2023 (Home fees and UKRI stipend) within the College of Health & Life Sciences. Read more
The effect of developmental enrichment on personality, stress physiology and conflict management behaviour in a highly social fish
Group living offers many advantages for animals, including protection from predators and the opportunity to cooperate. However, as resources like food or reproductive opportunities are limited, group living often leads to conflict. Read more
Neural correlates of social hierarchies
Sociality is widespread across the animal kingdom, ranging from simple aggregations to long-lived groups with complex relationships and social behaviours. Read more
The impact of zinc deficiency on Alzheimers disease
In addition to memory problems, people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) also experience ‘non-memory’ behavioural symptoms including depression, anxiety, and agitation. Read more
