Dear All
*Apologies for cross-posting*
We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a tax-free fully funded PhD
studentship - *Multimodal AI-based Diagnosis of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) -* at Plymouth University, UK. The closing
date for applications is *12 noon on 28th March 2025** (**UK time) **(**The
difference in tuition fees between national and international students will
be waived for international candidates**)*.
This exciting project aims to transform ADHD …
[View More]diagnosis by developing a
multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework that addresses the
significant limitations of current, subjective diagnostic practices.
Although AI is emerging in ADHD research, its integration into standard
clinical practices remains minimal. This project seeks to enhance
diagnostic accuracy through a sophisticated integration of AI-driven
insights that complement existing approaches. Some basic questions (among
others) that this project will try to explore are:
1. How can machine learning and deep learning models be tailored to
various data types like neuroimaging to uncover distinct ADHD diagnostic
patterns?
2. What methods can be used to analyse fMRI data to delineate active
brain regions and their connections, and how can these findings be linked
to ADHD behaviours and cognitive functions?
3. How can we refine AI models to handle high data dimensionality and
heterogeneity and enhance decision-making transparency in clinical settings
using Explainable AI (XAI) methods?
4. What are the best practices to assess the robustness of AI models
against the variability in ADHD diagnostic data?
This ambitious project will allow the student to engage in a groundbreaking
study at the intersection of AI, neuropsychiatry, and healthcare and gain
experience in a highly collaborative environment supported by a strong
supervisory team and international experts.
The research leverages our team's extensive background in
neuro-developmental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), where we
recently discussed important brain regions related to ASD diagnosis (link)
<https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.15374>. This PhD opportunity offers a deep dive not
only into the diagnosis of ADHD using explainable AI but also into other
related *co-occurring* disorders like ASD, providing a holistic perspective
on patient care and intervention strategies across the spectrum of these
interrelated conditions.
This project is suitable for students from a broad range of disciplines,
including computer science and artificial intelligence. More details about
the topic and *how to apply* are available at:

*1- AI-Based Analysis of Voice Biomarkers in Neurodevelopmental Disorders*
This interdisciplinary PhD project will harness Artificial Intelligence
(AI) methodologies to analyse vocal patterns within clinical populations,
specifically targeting Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The project aims to develop
innovative diagnostic models, such as deep learning models, that accurately
identify and differentiate unique vocal characteristics to each disorder
utilising extensive and varied datasets of autistic, ADHD and neurotypical
people, enhancing our understanding and diagnostic capabilities for these
conditions.
Candidates should have a basic knowledge in AI and machine learning
techniques, especially those applicable to audio processing and speech
analysis. While knowledge of psychological or neurological principles is
advantageous, it is not compulsory.
The candidate will be part of a collaboration between Clinical Psychology
and Computer Science, offering a unique chance to pioneer in the
application of AI to clinical diagnostics. This interdisciplinary effort
aims to push the boundaries of how machine learning can improve
understanding and treatment strategies for neurodevelopmental disorders.

*2- Virtual Reality Training for Spatial Familiarity with Autistic
Individuals*
This PhD project aims to develop a virtual reality (VR) training program to
help autistic individuals navigate unfamiliar spaces with reduced anxiety
as well as explore new imaginary spaces that can build confidence.
Utilising VR technology, the project will recreate common environments to
allow participants to engage with these spaces in a safe and controlled
setting. The use of a VE2 walking treadmill will intensify the realism of
the experience, enabling participants to physically walk through these
virtual spaces, thereby improving spatial familiarity and comfort.
Candidates are expected to have a foundational understanding of VR
programming, including expertise in Unity. Skills in integrating
sophisticated sensory technologies such as eye-tracking and face
recognition are appreciated, as they will be used to tailor and adapt
scenarios based on real-time user reactions and interactions. This role
calls for a blend of technical acumen and creative problem-solving,
offering a chance to pioneer VR applications that extend beyond
entertainment into therapeutic settings.
This interdisciplinary initiative bridges the gap between Clinical
Psychology and Computer Science, offering candidates an opportunity to
pioneer methods that could significantly advance therapeutic practices for
neurodevelopmental disorders.

*3- Enhancing Social Interaction for Autistic Individuals through
Anthropomorphic Augmented Reality *
This PhD project seeks to explore how autistic individuals often show a
preference for interacting with non-human entities such as animals,
cartoons, and robots, possibly due to the simpler social cues and lack of
negative biases associated with human faces. Leveraging these insights, the
project will develop an augmented reality (AR) application designed to
overlay human faces with non-human characteristics, thereby enhancing
comfort, social attention, and engagement among autistic participants.
We are seeking a PhD candidate proficient in AR technologies, with hands-on
experience in platforms like Hololens, and a good foundation in computer
science. The successful candidate will be driven by a desire to apply
cutting-edge AR solutions to real-world challenges in education and
healthcare settings. The candidate will engage in developing complex AR
interfaces and utilise user-centred design principles to create
applications that significantly improve social interactions for autistic
individuals. Familiarity with the psychological aspects of autism will be
crucial in customizing the technology to meet user needs effectively.
*- Contact: Dr. Gray Atherton*, gray.atherton(a)plymouth.ac.uk
*4-* *Examining Cohesion and Authoritarianism through Synchronised VR
Interactions*
This project seeks to explore how moving in synchrony with others within a
virtual reality (VR) environment influences social behaviour, enhancing
cohesion and potentially promoting obedient tendencies. The research will
employ VR to simulate scenarios where participants can engage in
synchronized activities, studying the psychological effects of these
interactions. These effects have historical significance in contexts such
as war, riots, an other scenarios. The project will manipulate
environmental factors, virtual agents, and reward systems to observe how
these controlled variables influence behaviours related to conformity and
personal control.
We are looking for a PhD candidate with a good experience in VR
programming, tools and platforms, interested in using this technology to
probe the complex dynamics of human behaviour and applying their technical
skills to investigate social psychological phenomena. This
interdisciplinary initiative provides a unique opportunity to explore how
synchronized movements in virtual environments can shape social behaviours
and influence group dynamics, enhancing our understanding of technology's
role in social cohesion and control.
*- Contact: Dr. Liam Cross*, liam.cross(a)plymouth.ac.uk
*5*- *Pure Fantasy: Harnessing VR to Explore and Enhance the Ideal Self in
Autistic Individuals*
This innovative project taps into the enduring popularity of Dungeons &
Dragons (D&D), particularly within the autism community, to explore and
enhance self-concept through immersive virtual reality (VR). D&D has long
served as a valuable tool for autistic individuals to experiment with their
identities and improve social skills. Our project aims to create a
groundbreaking VR D&D experience that allows players to design avatars
embodying traits they aspire to develop or accentuate. Leveraging the
Proteus effect, which suggests that the characteristics of an avatar can
influence a user’s behaviour, this study will observe how players navigate
complex social interactions and quests within a richly detailed virtual
world. Players will physically navigate this world using VE2 treadmills,
enhancing the immersion and physicality of the experience.
We seek a PhD candidate with good skills in VR development, eager to push
the boundaries of what VR can achieve in psychological and therapeutic
contexts. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with the Computer
Sciences department at the University of Plymouth to refine VR paradigms
and should possess an interest in the psychological aspects of VR
immersion, specifically how it relates to behaviour change and self-concept
in special populations. This interdisciplinary initiative offers a unique
opportunity to explore the intersection of technology, psychology, and
role-playing games, aiming to provide meaningful insights into how virtual
experiences can influence real-world behaviour and self-perception.
*- Contact: Dr. Gray Atherton*, gray.atherton(a)plymouth.ac.uk
*6- Board games for autistic wellbeing *
Board games offer educational and social benefits, particularly for
neurodiverse players who thrive in structured settings. This project will
establish a board gaming hub for neurodiverse adults, partnering with
clinical services to combine social engagement with mental health support.
There are currently multiple sites and practices in the Devon area and
wider UK keen to take part, and the candidate will have good communication
and organisational skills commiserate with working across sites and
disciplines.
Specifically, we seek a candidate with experience in working with clinical
populations and a passion for board gaming. This role suits those
interested in intervention design, adult social care, and gaming
development for special populations. The candidate will be interested in
understanding how to adapt board games for individuals with different
needs, and how to liase with research teams and clinical health providers
to understand how to most effectively deliver an intervention of this
nature. This role will involve working in schools and with young people.

# A. Call for Research / Demo / Industry Track Papers
Scope: The 19th …
[View More]International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Data (SSTD) expands its scope beyond traditional databases to embrace the broader and rapidly evolving landscape of spatial and temporal data. While previous editions focused on foundational database systems and techniques, this year’s symposium welcomes research that addresses the full spectrum of challenges and innovations in managing, analyzing, and leveraging spatial and temporal data. We invite contributions spanning data management, analytics, mining, machine learning, visualization, and real-world applications across diverse domains, reflecting the growing significance of spatial and temporal data in today’s data-driven world. This expanded scope aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and accommodate emerging trends where spatial and temporal data intersect with cutting-edge technologies.
SSTD 2025 solicits submissions in three tracks.
-Research Track
Authors are invited to submit long and short research papers presenting original contributions. The selection criteria include quality, novelty, correctness, and relevance to SSTD.
The short research papers are expected to discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through extensive experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation.
-Demo Track
We invite authors to submit demo papers featuring systems that are fully developed or currently under development but reasonably complete and mature. Demonstration proposals will be evaluated based on their novelty, technical innovations, the challenges being addressed, and the overall practical appeal of the showcased system.
-Industry Track
We invite the submission of industry papers that highlight practical applications, address real-world challenges, share original insights and demonstrate the successful translation of research into impactful solutions for businesses and organizations.
