Felicity Spencer

I’m a PhD student studying clinical trials methodology, specifically how exercise interventions can be optimised for people at risk of dementia, at the University of Birmingham. Previously I studied Psychology and Neuroscience, leading to my interest in user experience research. My previous research projects have been varied, and focused on: better understanding how environment affects alcohol use; understanding how dopamine receptors in the brain respond to electrical stimulation; and optimising exercise interventions for people at risk of dementia.

It’s long been known that exercise is not only good for the body, it’s also good for the brain. Numerous studies have shown that regular exercise helps protect and preserve brain function throughout life.
