  1. Brain and Behaviour Research Group

    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.

  2. Cardiovascular Health Sciences Research Group

    Our research aims to improve cardiovascular health via exercise training and physical activity. Our two main areas of expertise are cardiac function and structure and vascular function and structure in health and disease.

  3. Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group

    The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.

  4. Experimental Technologies Lab

    Read more about the Experimental Technologies Lab, an enhancement upon four years of research pursued at our pioneering workshop and research space, FACTLab, a collaboration with Liverpool’s FACT, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technologies, the UK’s leading new technologies arts organisation.

  5. City Lab

    The Uses of Art Lab, based within ART LABS, asks how we can use art more effectively in society. Discover the themes and projects based within the Lab.

  6. Suicide crisis and self-harm attendance at A&E in autistic CYP

    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.

  7. Forensic Psychology Research Theme

    Within the subject of forensic psychology, our areas of expertise include criminal behaviour, suicide risk, child abuse and harassment. Take a look at our current projects, people working in the group, and publications.

  8. Cognition, Education and Language Research Theme

    The Cognition, Education and Language Research Theme looks into the factors, processes and mechanisms involved in language and education. Find out more about our areas of expertise, our partnerships and collaborations, and browse through our publications.

  9. Neuroscience Research Theme

    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.
