This study aims to understand the causal relationship between discrimination and psychosis in ethnic minority populations in the UK.
In the Brain and Behaviour Research Group within RISES, we study human motor behaviour from the neural level through to perception and cognition. Our two main areas of research are sensorimotor neuroscience and expert performance and learning.
The overall aim of this proposed exchange programme is to bring together an international team of researchers with a wide variety of expertise in supply chain risk management, hazard identification and safety assessment, and to tackle the challenges faced by industry requiring specialist knowledge and innovation.
LJMU will be hosting the annual Liverpool Neuroscience Day on 13 June 2017. Find out more about this event including how to register.
Members of the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour teach on a range of programmes. Find out more about our specific learning programmes.
This project focuses on the role olfactory and oral perception plays in shaping our consummatory experiences, preferences, and food seeking behaviours. Research into this area is important to health research, shaping understanding of individual differences in food selection, consumption, and other dietary behaviours.
Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.

Dr Amy Whitehead initially used and developed ‘Think Aloud’ as part of her PhD, looking at how Golfers make decisions. This led her to develop a course which supports sports coaches development, which was initially funded by LJMU, and delivered to a number of coaches at St Helens Rugby League Club.
The Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Research Group is concerned with the mechanisms underlying cognitive and emotional behaviour and the disruption of these processes by drugs, ageing, atypical development or disease. Find out about our expertise, collaborations, facilities, publications and learning opportunities within the group.
