The Inference, Dynamics and Interaction group brings together three fundamental research areas: modern inference techniques, dynamic systems and control theory and interaction design. These are applied in wide range of situations:

- Health, Wellness & Entertainment
- Systems Biology
- Mobile Interaction
- Cognitive Neuroscience/neuroimaging
- Social Interaction

The group's strength lies in the unusual combination of theoretical backgrounds from machine learning to HCI, and the focus on building innovative working systems which achieve performance previously thought impossible, using the latest algorithms, sensors and devices. The group's skills in combining software engineering and mathematical inference allows us to attack complex systems problems with large high-dimensional data spaces and so in real-time.
