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
(2018)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore service users’ experiences of a mindfulness group intervention. Design/methodology/approach: In total, 15 participants with a diagnosis of a mild or moderate intellectual ... -
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 ... -
The captive brain: Torture and the neuroscience of humane interrogation
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Despite it being abhorrent and illegal, torture is sometimes employed for information gathering. However, the extreme stressors employed during torture force the brain away from the relatively narrow, adaptive range of ... -
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 ... -
The case for change: aviation worker wellbeing during the COVID 19 pandemic, and the need for an integrated health and safety culture
(2022)The workplace is an important setting for health protection, health promotion and disease prevention. Currently, health and wellbeing approaches at an aviation organisational level are not addressing both human and safety ... -
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 ... -
Category-dependent and category-independent goal-value codes in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex
(2013)To choose between manifestly distinct options, it is suggested that the brain assigns values to goals using a common currency. Although previous studies have reported activity in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) ... -
Cerebellum and cognition: Evidence for the encoding of higher order rules
(2013)Converging anatomical and functional evidence suggests that the cerebellum processes both motor and nonmotor information originating from the primary motor cortex and prefrontal cortex, respectively. However, it has not ... -
Changes in language use mediate expressive writings benefits on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) following Myocardial Infarction
(2014)The present study assessed linguistic mediators on the effects of expressive writing on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depression and anxiety following myocardial infarction (MI). One hundred and twenty-one cardiac ... -
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 ... -

Chess Masters' Hypothesis Testing
(Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 2004)Falsification may demarcate science from non-science as the rational way to test the truth of hypotheses. But experimental evidence from studies of reasoning shows that people often find falsification difficult. We ...
