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
Investigating risk and hazard perception skills in motorcyclists
Project ID. S3 4. Motorcyclists are over-represented in collision statistics. Though they make up only 1% of traffic on UK roads, they account for around 20% of UK road fatalities every year. Read more
Sleep after catastrophic injury
Project ID. S3 3. It is well established that sleep has both a protective and recuperative effect in healthy adults. The benefits of sleeping well for those recovering from life-threatening or life-changing injury are much less well established, in part because the evidence based is very limited. 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
Accelerated tissue regeneration through direct stem cell re-programming
Project ID. SST9. This project hypothesises that the genetic reprogramming of human mesenchymal stromal cells will lead to enhanced tissue regeneration through the increased production of growth factors, potentially aiding the development of personalised cell therapies. 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
Face matching using a novel interactive procedure: Examining eye- and mouse-movement behaviour
Project ID. S3 6. Checking photo ID is necessary for identity verification, enabling people to cross borders, buy age restricted goods, and access services. 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
Leaving no child behind: identifying precursors of slow reading and writing development
Project ID. S3 2. Reading and writing skills are essential to successful social participation; yet over half a million UK adults failed to develop adequate literacy skills in school (OECD, 2013). Read more
Cooperative Perception in Robotic Teams for a Sustainable Environment
Project ID: SST_2_10. Sustainability in agriculture and forestry is currently an important societal issue, as was made clear at the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference. Read more
Multimodal Human Analysis for Predicting Potential Threat
Project ID: SST_2_9. Violent crimes and possession of weapons in prohibited areas are still major issues in the world today. Read more
Greener hydrogen production from high moisture containing biomass
Project ID: SST_2_8. Hydrogen energy, one of the cleanest energy sources, is being developed in advanced industrialized countries around the world as a substitute for fossil fuels. 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
Design of human artificial hip joint replacements with a wear control system
Project ID: SST_2_6. The wear and wear particles of hip joint replacements is a main problem causing the failure. Wear particles are generated from the artificial materials during motion, and they have adverse biological reactions with the surrounding tissue and bone. Read more
Girls’ elite football in England and the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender and social class
Project ID: SST_2_5. The proposed PhD study will explore minority ethnic girls’ accessibility to and/or retention within grassroots and elite youth football in England. Read more
