Examples of research projects:
- Phantom Limb Pain
Beginning in 2003, Dr Jonathan Cole and his team have been researching phantom pain. Carried out in conjunction with CoPMRE, the research aims to help amputees ‘feel’ their missing limbs by simulating the limb’s movement in a virtual environment and thereby reduce their susceptibility to phantom pain.

- Living with Diabetes
In an entirely unrelated project, again drawing on collobration with the Centre, Dr David Kerr is researching into several areas involving diabetes, enabling patients to enjoy a better quality of life. He shares with us how he believes the Centre supports his commitment to research. More information >
