Vignesh is a postdoc researcher working with Prof. Mark Hollands on a project funded by the Vivensa Foundation, that uses body-worn sensors and eye-tracking glasses to inform data-driven home modifications for fall prevention in older adults.
This is achieved through a multi-modal analysis integrating biomechanics, computer vision and SOTA deep learning methods.
Aimee is a PhD student investigating how visual spatial frequency influences anticipation, decision‑making and pattern recognition in netball.
Working under the supervision of James Roberts, Simon Bennett, Joe Causer and Ed Hope, she is conducting a series of experimental studies to uncover the visuo‑neural mechanisms that underpin perceptual‑cognitive skill in sport.
Alongside this, Aimee is looking to evaluate whether training with modified visual conditions can enhance athletes’ decision‑making performance.
Gemma is a PhD student working under the supervision of Joe Causer and Simon Bennett on a project investigating the mechanisms of quiet eye in golf putting.
She is using high precision eye tracking to determine the prevalence of microsaccades, and whether these have a functional role in the backswing and downswing phases.
James is a PhD student working under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team (Dr. James Roberts, Prof. Simon Bennett, Dr Mark Robinson, Dr Davide Bruno) on a project investigating the relationship between football heading exposure and visual cognition.
His research focuses on understanding the biomechanical demands of headers, developing methods to classify heading intensity, and examining how repeated exposure may influence the neurocognitive function of players in both the short-term and longer-term.
