Birmingham professor awarded prestigious fellowship

Professor John Terry, Director of the Centre for Systems Modelling and Quantitative Biomedicine at the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Modelling, has been awarded a prestigious Established Career Fellowship from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

The award will allow John’s research, which focuses on the accurate diagnosis, prognosis and management of epilepsy, to advance understanding and treatment of the serious brain condition. Epilepsy causes recurrent seizures in susceptible individuals and affects almost 1% of the UK population at some point in their lives. Read full article >

'Universal law of touch' will enable new advances in Virtual Reality

Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team, led by researchers at the University of Birmingham, used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling law for touch sensitivity. The results are published in Science Advances. The researchers are part of a European consortium (H-Reality) that are already using the theory to develop new Virtual Reality technologies that incorporate the sense of touch.
