(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 ... -
Combined structural and functional imaging reveals cortical deactivations in grapheme-colour synaesthesia.
(2013)Synaesthesia is a heritable condition in which particular stimuli generate specific and consistent sensory percepts or associations in another modality or processing stream. Functional neuroimaging studies have identified ... -
Commentary on Afzali et al. (2019): Two data sets are better than one
(Society for the Study of Addiction, 2019)The use of large data sets in addiction research iswelcome, because statistical power is increased. Whenapplied to large data sets, machine learning can help withinterpreting variable importance and with ... -
Comparability of functional MRI response in young and old during inhibition

A computational model of counterfactual thinking: The temporal order effect
(Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2001)People generate counterfactual alternatives to realitywhen they think about how things might have happeneddifferently, 'if only?'. There are considerableregularities in the sorts of past events that peoplementally undo, ... -
Confidence is predicted by pre- and post-choice decision signal dynamics
(2023)It is well established that one’s confidence in a choice can be influenced by new evidence encountered after commitment has been reached, but the processes through which post-choice evidence is sampled remain unclear. To ... -
Contradictions and counterfactuals: Generating belief revisions in conditional inference
(Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2002)Reasoners revise their beliefs in the premises when an inference they have made is contradicted. We describe the results of an experiment that shows that the belief they revise depends on the inference they have made. They ... -

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
