PhD students within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour are working on interesting projects including: investigating pain in autism, the impact of taste, and pain mechanisms.
This project focuses on the role olfactory and oral perception plays in shaping our consummatory experiences, preferences, and food seeking behaviours. Research into this area is important to health research, shaping understanding of individual differences in food selection, consumption, and other dietary behaviours.
Exploring the impact of creative transpersonal psychology practices in person-centred coaching
Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.

The collective research activity of these LJMU staff spans experimental psychology, psychopharmacology, epidemiology, qualitative inquiry, and public health, with a strong shared focus on substance use, mental health, and health inequalities.
These LJMU researchers collectively advance understanding of human cognition, brain function, and behaviour across domains including memory, perception, motivation, language, decision making, and clinical neuroscience.
