It’s all in the timing: The rhythm of social interactions (WYERN_U23PSY)
Though we often don’t give it a lot of thought, the most productive and pleasant social exchanges are characterised by a predictable rhythm of action and reaction. Read more
Neural mechanisms of compulsivity in humans (VAGHIM_U23PSY)
Dr Matilde Vaghi is recruiting a PhD student to investigate the cognitive and neural processes that underpin compulsive behaviours, which are often seen across a range of mental health disorders such as for example Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Read more
Predictive Processing Across Sensory Modalities (SMITHF_U23PSY:)
It is often assumed that early sensory brain regions passively register the sensory input present in the world. However Predictive Processing theories assert that a major function of these regions is to use contextual information to create predictions of upcoming input. Read more
Antecedents and Consequences of Intergroup Contact (MELEADYR_U23PSY)
Intergroup contact theory states that interactions between members of different cultural groups. can reduce prejudice and improve intergroup relations. Read more
The Impact of Smell Loss on Declarative Memory (RENOULTL_U23PSY)
Studies of age-differences in declarative memory have reported a decline of episodic memory but preserved semantic memory function in ageing. Read more
The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience of Scene Recognition (PENNYW_U23PSY)
Why is it you remember some places you’ve been but not others? Why do some aspects of these memories persist longer than others? e.g. Read more
Human echolocation and sensory substitution in real and virtual environments (KOLARIKA_U23PSY)
Recent fMRI studies show that cortical reorganisation occurs following visual loss, where visual brain areas are recruited to process sound. Read more
A year in the life: tracking fluctuations in adolescent mood and school engagement (HOLMESJ_U23PSY)
Applications are invited for a PhD student to work on a project investigating changes in adolescent mood and how these changes impact on school engagement and learning. Read more
Sleep and early cognitive development (GLIGAT_U23PSY)
The developing brain spends many hours asleep, an active state which we now know to be critical for learning. Yet, even in the first years of life, there are large differences in how long or how deeply infants sleep. Read more
Spatial language and spatial cognition (COVENTRYK_U23PSY)
Talking about where objects are located (e.g. in the cup; in front of the cinema; to the left of the stapler; this phone, etc.) is an essential part of language and is underpinned by both linguistic and visuospatial brain networks. Read more
Language and Concepts at the start of life: learning in naturalistic settings (ALTHAUSN_U23PSY)
How does language help young infants learn about structure in the world? Does word learning shape their categorisation skills? While recent research has provided plenty of insight into these questions, much of what we know relies on lab-based procedures. Read more
Autism and Biophilia: the impact of natural scenes on anxiety (MELVIN_PSY23SENSS)
Project background. Biophilia is the hypothesis that a love of plants and nature is not a learned trait, but rather a genetically-based affinity that evolved over the course of human evolution (Kellert & Wilson, 1993). Read more
