The Case for Change & An Ethical Approach to Wellbeing Management in Aviation: Wellbeing II and Advancing an Integrated Health & Safety Culture
(2021)Work is part of our wellbeing and a key driver of a person’s health. As argued by Elkington (1994), work needs to balance three benefit areas –economic/profit, people/society and planet/ecological(Elkington, 1994)Across ... -
Case mixing and the right parietal cortex: evidence from rTMS.
(Springer, 2006)We investigated the necessary role of the right parietal lobe in visual word recognition using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS was applied to the right posterior parietal lobe and to a control area as participants ... -
Changes in resting connectivity with age: A simultaneous electroencephalogram and functional magnetic resonance imaging investigation.
(2013)Resting fluctuations in the blood oxygenation level-dependent signal have attracted considerable interest for their sensitivity to pathological brain processes. However, these analyses are susceptible to confound by nonneural ... -
Children s perception of coping and support following parental separation
(Taylor and Francis, 2008)Families represent the primary setting in which most children's lives are shaped and determined. Increasingly, children experience ongoing change in family formation and structure, and such fluctuation may threaten or ... -
Closing The Loop of Cross-Fertilisation Transferring Human Factors Training from Aviation to Maritime
(2016)This paper outlines the application of a transfer and impact assessment methodology for the adaption of human factors training from the aviation domain to the maritime domain. Human factors training, as it currently exists ... -
Cognitive rehabilitation in the elderly: overview and future directions.
(Cambridge Univeristy Press, 2007)This study provides an overview of the papers emanating from the experimental trial that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation program in older adults who were experiencing normal cognitive decline. The main features ... -
A Collaborative Learning Framework & Serious Game Development
(2015)This paper presents the overall learning process that evolved during the MASCA project (MAnaging System Change in Aviation—EU FP7 funded project (2010–2013), specifically focusing on the one of the key elements of the ... -
Core concepts of human rights and inclusion of vulnerable groups in the mental health policies of Malawi, Namibia, and Sudan
(2013)Abstract Background: One of the most crucial steps towards delivering judicious and comprehensive mental health care is the formulation of a policy and plan that will navigate mental health systems. For policy-makers, ... -
Counterfactual thinking about controllable events
(2000)When people think about what might have been, they mentally undo controllable rather than uncontrollable events. We report the results of two experiments in which we examined this controllability effect in counterfactual ... -
Counterfactual thinking: the temporal order effect
(2004)People often think about how things might have happened differently. Their counterfactual thoughts tend to mentally undo the most recent event in an independent sequence. Consider a game in which two players must each pick ... -
Crossmodal priming of unfamiliar faces supports early interactions between voices and faces in person perception
(2017)Although faces and voices are important sources of information for person recognition, it is unclear whether these cues interact at a late stage to act as complementary, unimodal sources for person perception or whether ... -
Cue-induced cocaine craving: Neuroanatomical specificity for drug users and drug stimuli.
(American Psychiatric Publishing, 2000)OBJECTIVE: Cocaine-related cues have been hypothesized to perpetuate drug abuse by inducing a craving response that prompts drug-seeking behavior. However, the mechanisms, underlying neuroanatomy, and specificity of this ... -
Deriving the optimal number of events for an event-related fMRI study based on the spatial extent of activation
(Elsevier, 2005)Event-related fMRI is a powerful tool for localising psychological functions to specific brain areas. However, the number of events required to produce stable activation maps is a poorly investigated and understood problem. ... -
Differences in "bottom-up" and "top-down" neural activity in current and former cigarette smokers: Evidence for neural substrates which may promote nicotine abstinence through increased cognitive control
(2011)Drug-related stimuli, through conditioning, are thought to acquire incentive motivational properties that code possible reward availability and elicit an attentional bias, possibly through increased "bottom-up" neural ... -
Differential regulation of synaptic plasticity of the hippocampal and the hypothalamic inputs to the anterior thalamus
(2009)The hippocampus projects to the anterior thalamic nuclei both directly and indirectly via the mammillary bodies, but little is known about the electrophysiological properties of these convergent pathways. Here we ... -
Dissociation of dorsal hippocampal regional activation under the influence of stress in freely behaving rats.
(2011)Stress has deleterious effects on brain, body, and behavior in humans and animals alike. The present work investigated how 30-min acute photic stress exposure impacts on spatial information processing in the main sub-regions ... -
Distinctive voices enhance the visual recognition of unfamiliar faces
(2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -
Do ADHD-impulsivity and BMI have shared polygenic and neural correlates?
(2019)There is an extensive body of literature linking ADHD to overweight and obesity. Research indicates that impulsivity features of ADHD account for a degree of this overlap. The neural and polygenic correlates of this ...
