False memories in aging
Cognition in Complex Environments. Applications are invited for a competition funded PhD project supervised by. Dr Georgios Argyropoulos. Read more
Stepping on Lego – exploring the relationship between mechanics and sensory innervation in the sole of the foot
Tactile feedback from the foot sole is crucial for control of balance and during gait. Mechanoreceptors, responsible for translating local strain patterns into neural activity, are embedded in a mechanical environment that is unique across the body. Read more
Who you gonna call? Developing rat-to-rat communication interfaces
Many rats live in laboratory conditions residing in cages in small groups or alone (such as after surgery, dominance issues, safety, or research purposes). Read more
Trust me! How do trusting relationships between Humans and AI work?
You will research how trusting relationships are established and maintained between humans and AI systems. The work will investigate how the following aspects affect trust. Read more
The Virtual Choreographer: Exploring a Dance-Inspired Interactive Direction Scheme to Control Artificial Agents Bodily Behaviour Generation
Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is a popular method for analyzing, interpreting, and communicating movement qualities introduced by Rudolf Laban. Read more
Robot Cuteness: How does morphology affect human social perception of robots?
Have you ever been told you have a “trustworthy face”? Despite little to no validity in such judgements, people quickly and involuntarily form impressions of others based on their facial appearance, which can then influence important social outcomes. Read more
Enhancing sense of social presence in virtual environments with social elements: Manipulating virtual self-awareness to increase interpersonal motor resonance with virtual characters using VR and electro/neurophysiological technologies
Interpersonal motor resonance (IMR) is a phenomenon in which an individual’s motor system activates when observing another person’s motor behaviour. Read more
Developing a brain-controlled Robot hand for future clinical applications
Robotic hands can be of valuable assistance to individuals with upper-limb motor disabilities such as stroke survivors, tetraplegic individuals and amputees. Read more
Augmented reality for cyclists
Main Aims and Objectives. Increasing the number of people cycling will improve population health, and reduce congestion and pollution. Read more
Sharing the road: Cyclists and automated vehicles
Automated vehicles must share the road with pedestrians and cyclists, and drive safely around them. Autonomous cars, therefore, must have some form of social intelligence if they are to function correctly around other road users. Read more
An adaptive agent dialogue framework for driving sustainable dietary behaviour change
Context. The food system contributes 34% of greenhouse gas emissions, the majority of which coming from animal agriculture also disproportionately contributing to deforestation, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem pollution. Read more
Social and Behavioural Markers of Hydration States
Aims and Objectives. This project will explore whether data derived from a person’s smartphone can be used to establish that person’s hydration status so that, in a well guided and responsive way, a system can prompt the person to drink water. Read more
Vision-based AI for automatic detection of individual and social behaviour in Rodents
Rodents are the most extensively used models to understand the cellular and molecular underpinnings of behaviour, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, as well as, for the development of interventions and pharmacological treatments. Read more
