Postgraduate Scholarships
Grant Activity:
The Role of Interoceptive Processing in Frontotemporal Dementia
Purpose:

Dementia patients have difficulty interpreting internal body cues and experience behaviour and social impairments, which cause significant distress for their families. This project will explore the relationship between these abilities using novel virtual reality techniques and assess how they relate to dementia’s effect on the brain. Potential interventions to improve sensitivity to the body will be explored. Outcomes will inform future behaviour management strategies and reduce carer distress.
