Robert Clarke
Working in:
- Prosthetics and robotics
- Digital Health
- Peripheral stimulation
- Virtual reality
My areas of research are in using non-invasive brain-computer interfaces for controlling robotic arms and using neurofeedback for treatment of psychological conditions. My work aims to create approaches for robotic arm control that are more intuitive for the user.

Doctoral researcher developing a system for upper limb neurorehabilitation, using serious games designed in Virtual Reality along with Brain-Computer Interface, for people with Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury.
Alistair Cooper
Working in:
- Biomechanics
- Neurofeedback
- Virtual reality
Doctoral researcher primarily investigating the use of neurofeedback in combination with virtual reality technology to aid chronic pain. Project is still very early stage and under development, there are aims to use motion capture data and biomechanical analysis to investigate any physical improvements besides reduction in pain too.

I am a Registered Nurse and Midwife interested in chronic disease management, especially non-communicable diseases. I am also interested in acute care, trauma, clinical care processes and outcomes, public health, nursing in general, healthcare education, symptom management, patient involvement, patient support, healthcare technologies, and quality improvement in healthcare.
