鈥淩esearch is fundamental both to the purpose of universities and to human development. Through carrying out research, we are able to discover new ideas and knowledge. It is exciting to be here among undergraduate students who are just at the beginning of their research journey.鈥�
Jozef Kulik, won a Research Excellence Award for his work on the use of Electroencephalography (EEG) to examine the neural processing of facial disfigurement, said, 鈥淚 took part in SURE裸聊直播 because I wanted to gain experience of presenting my research publicly as I soon hope to be presenting at national conferences.
鈥淚 am passionate about learning more about the applications of EEG, and there are a number of ways I鈥檇 like to extend my research project. 聽Winning a fully-funded Master鈥檚 at 裸聊直播 through SURE裸聊直播 has given me the perfect opportunity to develop my research further.鈥�
