Summary
The brain, maths and space: their interaction in health and disease. This project investigates how thinking about numbers affects how we think about the space that surrounds us - and vice versa. Investigations of commonalities in the neural and cognitive processing of space and numbers may lead to the development of innovative therapies for people suffering from attentional disorders after brain damage.

Summary
More than meets the egg: environmental effects on sperm quality, sperm competitive success, and offspring fitness. Can a male's environment affect his sperm quality and the health of his offspring? By experimentally testing how the paternal environment affects sperm quality, this project will help us understand (1) why sperm vary so much, and (2) what consequences variability in sperm quality has for paternity success and offspring fitness.

'There's no place like home': optimising the home environment to age well. This project aims to create new knowledge and digital tools for older people to be able to assess their home for access and safety, and arrange modifications enabling them to remain in their own home for as long as possible. Most older people wish to remain in their own home but often require home modifications in order to do so, which are traditionally prescribed by occupational therapists.

This project aims to create new knowledge and digital tools for older people to be able to assess their home for access and safety, and arrange modifications enabling them to remain in their own home for as long as possible. Most older people wish to remain in their own home but often require home modifications in order to do so, which are traditionally prescribed by occupational therapists. The expected outcome of this project includes new digital tools which will enable optimal adaptation of the home environment. This should provide significant social benefits, such as increased safety, independence and support for older people to remain at home, and economic benefits from a reduced need for residential aged care or health services.Read moreRead less
