Age-related sensory decline mediates the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion: Evidence for reliability weighting models of multisensory perception
(2019)Perception of our world is proposed to arise from combining multiple sensory inputs according to their relative reliability. We tested multisensory processes in a large sample of 2920 older adults to assess whether sensory ... -
Amygdalar reactivity is associated with prefrontal cortical thickness in a large population-based sample of adolescents
(2019)In structural neuroimaging studies, reduced cerebral cortical thickness in orbital and ventromedial prefrontal regions is frequently interpreted as reflecting an impaired ability to downregulate neuronal activity in the ... -
Anorexia, bulimia, and obesity: Shared decision making deficits on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT).
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)The pathological eating behaviors in Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and obesity are characterized by a preference for high immediate reward, despite higher future losses in terms of both physical and psychological ... -
The Anterior Cingulate and Error Avoidance
(Society for Neuroscience, 2006)The precise role of the anterior cingulate cortex in monitoring, evaluating, and correcting behavior remains unclear despite numerous theories and much empirical data implicating it in cognitive control. The present ... -
The anterior thalamus provides a subcortical circuit supporting memory and spatial navigation.
(2013)The anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN), a central component of Papez' circuit, are generally assumed to be key constituents of the neural circuits responsible for certain categories of learning and memory. Supporting evidence ... -
Anticipatory planning reveals segmentation of cortical motor output during action observation
(2015)It has been argued that the variation in brain activity that occurs when observing another person reflects a representation of actions that is indivisible, and which plays out in full once the intent of the actor can be ... -
The Appalachia Mind Health Initiative (AMHI): A pragmatic randomized clinical trial of adjunctive internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for treating major depressive disorder among primary care patients
(2022)Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disease morbidity. Combined treatment with antidepressant medication (ADM) plus psychotherapy yields a much higher MDD remission rate than ADM only. But ... -
Appreciative Inquiry, a LightHouse on a Foggy Path: Healthcare Teams Share Success Stories
(2019)As a psychologist I believed I had a good understanding of group dynamics and organisational change principles. As my project began, I was optimistic about being able to support multidisciplinary colleagues and act as a ... -
Are auditory-evoked frequency and duration mismatch negativity (MMN) deficits endophenotypic for schizophrenia? High-density electrical mapping in clinically unaffected first-degree relatives, recent-onset and chronic schizophrenia
(Elsevier, 2008)Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a negative-going event-related potential (ERP) component that occurs in response to intermittent changes in constant auditory backgrounds. A consistent finding across a large number of studies ... -
Are changes in beliefs about rumination and in emotion regulation skills mediators of the effects of internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression and anxiety? Results from a randomized controlled trial.
(2021)Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) is effective in treating anxiety and depression. Research on how these interventions operate is scarce. This study explored whether emotion regulation skills ... -
Artificial Gravity Reveals that Economy of Action Determines the Stability of Sensorimotor Coordination
(2009)Abstract Background: When we move along in time with a piece of music, we synchronise the downward phase of our gesture with the beat. While it is easy to demonstrate this tendency, there is considerable debate as to ... -
Assessing the efficacy and acceptability of a web-based intervention for resilience among college students: Pilot randomised control trial
(2020)Background: College students are at elevated risk for developing mental health problems and face specific barriers around accessing evidence-based treatment. Web-based interventions that focus on mental health promotion ... -
Assessing the efficacy and acceptability of an internet-delivered intervention for resilience among college students: A pilot randomised control trial protocol
(2019)Background: Exposure to new stressors places college students at increased risk for developing mental health problems. Preventive interventions aimed at enhancing resilience have the potential to improve mental health and ... -

Association between dopamine transporter (DAT1) genotype, left-sided inattention, and an enhanced response to methylphenidate in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
(2005)A polymorphism of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1, 10-repeat) is associated with ADHD and has been linked to an enhanced response to methylphenidate (MPH). One aspect of the attention deficit in ADHD includes a subtle ... -
Atrial fibrillation and cognitive function: a case control study
(2005)Atrial fibrillation is an important and independent risk factor for cerebrovascular disease and vascular dementia. There is increasing evidence that atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of asymptomatic ... -
Attentional load asymmetrically affects early electrophysiological indices of visual orienting.
(2011)Recent behavioral studies suggest that asymmetries in visuospatial orienting are modulated by changes in the demand on nonspatial components of attention, but the brain correlates of this modulation are unknown. We used ... -
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 ...
