Neuroscience, Ageing and Dementia Our research seeks to understand the dynamic interplay of biological processes & social factors that influence brain functioning & quality of life. We are leading cutting-edge advances in the application of technology (e.g., virtual reality, telehealth and social robotics) to the assessment & management of people with neurological disorders. Core research themes include: • The social brain (investigations of brain processes (e.g., language and social cognition) through to societal participation, including family and social networks) • Changes in brain functioning across the lifespan• Enhancing functioning and well-being of people living with neurological disorders; and• Clinical practice and health care (engaging key stakeholders and end-users in the design, piloting and evaluation of new interventions and care packages)

Patient Centred Health Services focuses on ways to put theory into practice to provide better patient outcomes. We also foster early and mid-career researchers to nurture the next generation of health and social care experts, and to boost our research capacity.

Our research is theoretically driven, multidisciplinary and focuses on cost-effective health and social care interventions and the translation of these interventions into policy and practice. We undertake committed scientific research with an emphasis on improving patient care, experiences and outcomes, and use knowledge-translation approaches.
