We are a team of researchers who aim to understand sensory sensitivities (sensory discomfort) and how they interact with dizziness, mental health, and areas of neurodiversity.
Latest from the lab:
Watch this space: Our new measure of visual sensitivity (the Cardiff Hypersensitivity Scale, CHYPS!) has been finalised and submitted for publication.
The rehabilitation game Balance-Land, is ready for use as a pilot version.
