Peter Barry is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Medical Sciences and Department of Physiology from 2003. He had also been a Conjoint Professor from 2002-2015. Prior to that he had been a Professor of Physiology from 1994-2001, before he retired in 2002. His research is in membrane biophysics. He originally graduated from the University of Sydney (Australia) with a BSc (Hons) in Physics in...
Research Interests:My area of research expertise is adaptations of the nervous system in response to exercise, in particular the role of exercise to address weakness, pain and fatigue, which are prevalent symptoms of neuromuscular disorders. Investigations range from laboratory experiments on the adaptation of motor and sensory pathways in response to exercise, to using qualitative techniques for...
My research focusses on understanding how humans process and learn about the relationships between aspects of their surrounding environment, and how such learning shapes behavior. In particular I am interested in the processes involved in associative learning and in the development of testable computational models of human learning. I am also interested in comparisons between learning under...
ABOUT ME
Biography
My research is primarily focused on the field of nutritional neuroscience. This includes (1) the central nervous system regulation food intake and (2) the effects of macro and micro nutrients on the brain and behaviour.

Research Interests:From a background in biomechanical engineering, the focus of my research is on how the nervous system responds to mechanical loading - both those loads which cause injury and those which are part of normal function. Our approach spans the range from the whole body (e.g crash testing) through individual tissues, and down to a molecular scale - integrating the data to gain an...
