Automated spike sorting algorithm based on Laplacian eigenmaps and k-means clustering
(2011)This study presents a new automatic spike sorting method based on feature extraction by Laplacian eigenmaps combined with k-means clustering. The performance of the proposed method was compared against previously reported ... -
Automaticity and re-establishment of executive control, an fMRI study
(MIT Press, 2006)The ability to exert control over automatic behavior is of particular importance as it allows us to interrupt our behavior when the automatic response is no longer adequate or even dangerous. However, despite the ... -
Aversive learning in adolescents: modulation by amygdala-prefrontal and amygdala-hippocampal connectivity and neuroticism.
(2014)Neuroticism involves a tendency for enhanced emotional and cognitive processing of negative affective stimuli and a propensity to worry and be anxious. It is known that this trait modulates fear learning and the activation ... -
An Aviation Professional's Guide to Wellbeing
(Flight Safety Foundation, 2020)Regardless of its technical nature, the aviation industry is founded on its numerous dedicated professional people. Safety performance is directly related to the manner in which people from front ... -

Avoiding another mistake: Error and posterror neural activity associated with adaptive posterror behavior change
(Psychonomic Society, 2007)The magnitude of posterior medial frontal cortex (pMFC) activity during commission of an error has been shown to relate to adaptive posterror changes in response behavior on the trial immediately following. In the present ... -
Awareness of Deficits in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Multidimensional Approach to Assessing Metacognitive Knowledge and Online-Awareness
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)Recent models of impaired awareness in brain injury draw a distinction between metacognitive knowledge of difficulties and online awareness of errors (emergent and anticipatory). We examined performance of 31 Traumatic Brain ... -
Awareness of medical fitness to drive among occupational physicians and psychiatrists
(2017)Irrespective of national guidelines for medical fitness to drive, this study investigated the cumulative expert wisdom of clinicians regarding minimum periods of driving cessation required for patients suffering from ... -
Babysibs: Dyadic prosody

Balancing true and false detection of intermittent sensory targets by adjusting the inputs to the evidence accumulation process
(2023)Decisions about noisy stimuli are widely understood to be made by accumulating evidence up to a decision bound that can be adjusted according to task demands. However, relatively little is known about how such mechanisms ... -
Banbury Forum Consensus Statement on the Path Forward for Digital Mental Health Treatment.
(2021)A major obstacle to mental health treatment for many Americans is accessibility: the United States faces a shortage of mental health providers, resulting in federally designated shortage areas. Although digital mental ... -
"Be here now" – service users' experiences of a mindfulness group intervention

Becoming a birth mother in the context of a planned same-sex family: "As amazing as it is, it's kind of a tough road to navigate".
(2021)This qualitative study explored how ten birth mothers in same-sex relationships in Ireland experienced becoming a mother. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis ... -
Behavioural evidence for task-dependent, 'what' versus 'where' processing within and across modalities
(The Psychonomic Society, 2008)Task-dependent information processing for the purpose of recognition or spatial perception is considered a principle common to all the main sensory modalities. Using a dual-task interference paradigm, we investigated the ... -
BOLD frequency power indexes working memory performance
(2013)Electrophysiology studies routinely investigate the relationship between neural oscillations and task performance. However, the sluggish nature of the BOLD response means that few researchers have investigated the spectral ... -
Boys do it the right way: Sex-dependent amygdala lateralization during face processing in adolescents
(2011)Previous studies have observed a sex-dependent lateralization of amygdala activation related to emotional memory. Specifically, it was shown that the activity of the right amygdala correlates significantly stronger with ...
