Ocular exposure to blue-enriched light has an asymmetric influence on neural activity and spatial attention
(2016)Brain networks subserving alertness in humans interact with those for spatial attention orienting. We employed blue-enriched light to directly manipulate alertness in healthy volunteers. We show for the first time that ... -
An online tiered screening procedure to identify mental health problems among refugees.
(2023)Background Many refugees suffer from mental health problems due to stressful and traumatic events before, during, and after migration. However, refugees are facing a wide variety of barriers, limiting their access to ... -
The P300 as a marker of waning attention and error propensity
(2007)Action errors can occur when routine responses are triggered inappropriately by familiar cues. Here, EEG was recorded as volunteers performed a ?go/no-go? task of long duration that occasionally and unexpectedly required ... -
Paired associative transcranial alternating current stimulation increases the excitability of corticospinal projections in humans
(2015)Many types of non-invasive brain stimulation alter corticospinal excitability (CSE). Paired associative stimulation (PAS) has attracted particular attention as its effects ostensibly adhere to Hebbian principles of neural ... -
A paramatric manipulation of central executive functioning
(Oxford University Press, 2000)The central executive is both an important and poorly understood construct that is invoked in current theoretical models of human cognition and in various dysexecutive clinical syndromes. We report a task designed to isolate ... -
A pattern recognition approach to the detection of single-trial event-related fMRI.
(IFMBE, 2004)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) is an imaging technique for determining which regions of the brain are activated in response to a stimulus or event. Early FMRI experiment paradigms were based upon those ... -
Patterns of normal human brain plasticity and their implications for neurorehabilitation.
(Elsevier, 2006)Patterns of normal human brain plasticity after practice and their implications for neurorehabilitation. -
People think about what is true for conditionals, not what is false: only true possibilities prime the comprehension of "if"
(2009)We report the results of two priming experiments that examine the comprehension of conditionals--for example, "if there are apples then there are oranges"--and biconditionals--for example, "if and only if there are apples ... -
Periconceptional folic acid supplementation in a nationally representative sample of Irish mothers
(Irish Medical Association, 2012-07)This study reports recent trends in periconceptional folic acid use in Ireland using archived data from Growing Up in Ireland ? the National Longitudinal Study of Children. Of a sample of 10,891 mothers, 6,936 (64%) reported ... -
Policies and Processes for Social Inclusion: Using EquiFrame and EquIPP for Policy Dialogue Comment on "Are Sexual and Reproductive Health Policies Designed for All? Vulnerable Groups in Policy Documents of Four European Countries and Their Involvement in Policy Development".
(2015)The application of EquiFrame in the analysis of sexual and reproductive health policies by Ivanova et al to a new thematic area, their selection of only some of the Core Concepts of human rights in health service provision ... -
Positive association of video game playing with left frontal cortical thickness in adolescents.
(2014)Playing video games is a common recreational activity of adolescents. Recent research associated frequent video game playing with improvements in cognitive functions. Improvements in cognition have been related to grey ... -
A pragmatic randomized waitlist-controlled effectiveness and cost-effectiveness trial of digital interventions for depression and anxiety
(2020)Utilization of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) for treating depression and anxiety disorders in stepped-care models, such as the UK’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), is a potential ... -
Predicting development of adolescent drinking behaviour from whole brain structure at 14 years of age
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)Adolescence is a common time for initiation of alcohol use and development of alcohol use disorders. The present study investigates neuroanatomical predictors for trajectories of future alcohol use based on a novel voxel-wise ... -
Predicting success: The effect of pre-target cueing on inhibition performance.
(MIT Press, 2004)The present study investigated the relationships between attention and other preparatory processes prior to a response inhibition task and the processes involved in the inhibition itself. To achieve this, a mixed ... -
Prolonged rote learning produces delayed memory facilitation and metabolic changes in the hippocampus of the ageing human brain
(2009)Background: Repeated rehearsal is one method by which verbal material may be transferred from short- to long-term memory. We hypothesised that extended engagement of memory structures through prolonged rehearsal would ... -
