Understanding and intervening in young driver road safety

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology
Newly-qualified drivers are the most likely drivers on the road to be involved in crashes. This is likely to reflect a combination of insufficient driving skill and deliberately choosing a risky driving style (e.g., speeding, dangerous overtaking). Read more

Using Brain Computer Interface to Improve Cognitive Performance

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive technique commonly used to measure brain activity. In this project, we aim at using EEG Biofeedback (brain-computer interface (BCI)) for improving cognitive performance (e.g. Read more

Weight stigma and health behaviours

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology
Obesity is one of society’s greatest challenges with 2/3rds of UK adults being overweight or obese. Weight stigma (anti-fat attitudes, weight-based prejudice and discrimination) is experienced by 54% of adults and deters individuals from engaging in healthy behaviours targeted in obesity interventions (e.g. Read more

Using pharmacological agents to investigate the mechanisms of the neuronal vascular coupling

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology
The changes in cerebral blood flow, volume and oxygenation that accompany increases in neural activity form the basis of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which allow human brain mapping. Read more

The breakdown of neurovascular coupling in the diseased state specifically Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology
Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in the UK, affecting 1 – 2 % of the population. Epilepsies often involve only a small area of the brain - the epileptic focus – and the abnormal activity can propagate out from there. Read more
