Fine-grained Timing Information for Cochlear Implants
Supervisor: Dr David Grayden
Current cochlear implants use coarse frequency and timing information to convey sounds to users. Higher rates of stimulation are now possible with modern cochlear implants, so it is possible to provide more fin-grained timing cues by precisely controlling the time of stimulation.

Fluorescent imaging of active glutamate transporters
| Florey Neuroscience Institutes |
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and excessive stimulation of glutamate receptors results in neuronal death, termed excitotoxicity. View project details

Functional compensation by enhanced production of endogenous stem cells to replace lost striatal neurons and sprouting in a novel genetic model of Huntington’s disease
| Florey Neuroscience Institutes |
We have generated a novel model for Huntington’s disease in which we can precisely regulate the death of a subgroup of brain cells typically affected by this condition, the D1 dopamine receptor positive cells of the striatum. View project details

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of visuospatial memory and working memory in inattentive young people with impairing levels of inattention: investigation of frontal-striatal-parietal neural networks.
Supervisors:Prof Alasdair Vance
Impairing levels of inattention are common in young people with a range of common psychiatric disorders: particularly, ADHD, depressive disorders and OCD. It is unclear whether the same brain regions and neural networks are dysfunctional and associated with inattention across these key disorders. This project will examine these issues.
