Age and gender differences in emotion recognition
Robertson, Ian (2019)Background: Existing literature suggests that age affects recognition of affective facial expressions. Eye-tracking studies highlighted that age-related differences in recognition of emotions could be explained by different ... -
A Brain Capital Grand Strategy: toward economic reimagination
Robertson, Ian; Kenny, Rose (2021)Current brain research, innovation, regulatory, and funding systems are artificially siloed, creating boundaries in our understanding of the brain based on constructs such as aging, mental health, and/or neurology, when ... -
Brain-predicted age difference score is related to specific cognitive functions: a multi-site replication analysis
Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Rizzo, Rossella; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert (2020)Brain-predicted age difference scores are calculated by subtracting chronological age from ‘brain’ age, which is estimated using neuroimaging data. Positive scores reflect accelerated ageing and are associated with increased ... -
A bridge between the breath and the brain: Synchronization of respiration, a pupillometric marker of the locus coeruleus, and an eeg marker of attentional control state
Robertson, Ian; Dockree, Paul; Kenny, Rose (2021)Yogic and meditative traditions have long held that the fluctuations of the breath and the mind are intimately related. While respiratory modulation of cortical activity and attentional switching are established, the extent ... -
Cognitive rehabilitation for early stage Alzheimer's disease: a pilot study with an Irish population
Robertson, Ian (2019)Objectives: Research shows that cognitive rehabilitation (CR) has the potential to improve goal performance and enhance well-being for people with early stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This single subject, multiple baseline ... -
Computerised working memory based cognitive remediation therapydoes not affect Reading the Mind in the Eyes test performance or neural activity during a Facial Emotion Recognition test in psychosis
Meaney, James; Robertson, Ian (2018)Working memory-based cognitive remediation therapy (CT) for psychosis has recently been associated with broad improvements in performance on untrained tasks measuring working memory, episodic memory and IQ, and changes in ... -
Examining the Role of the Noradrenergic Locus Coeruleus for Predicting Attention and Brain Maintenance in Healthy Old Age and Disease: An MRI Structural Study for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
Dockree, Paul; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert; Kenny, Rose (2021)The noradrenergic theory of Cognitive Reserve (Robertson, 2013-2014) postulates that the upregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system (LC-NA) originating in the brainstem might facilitate cortical networks ... -
Impaired posterior cingulate cortex?parahippocampus connectivity is associated with episodic memory retrieval problems in amnestic mild cognitive impairment
Vanneste, Sven; Robertson, Ian; Kenny, Rose (2021)Episodic memory retention and retrieval decline are the most common impairments observed in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients who progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinical electroencephalography ... -
Lost in Time: Temporal Monitoring Elicits Clinical Decrements in Sustained Attention Post-Stroke.
Dockree, Paul; Robertson, Ian; O'Connell, Redmond; Kenny, Rose (2022)Objectives: Mental fatigue, 'brain fog', and difficulties maintaining engagement are commonly reported issues in a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Traditional sustained attention tasks commonly measure ... -
A Novel BrainHealth Index Prototype Improved by Telehealth-Delivered Training During COVID-19
Robertson, Ian; Kenny, Rose (2021)Introduction: Brain health is neglected in public health, receiving attention after something goes wrong. Neuroplasticity research illustrates that preventive steps strengthen the brain's component systems; however, this ... -
A P300-Based Brain-Computer Interface for Improving Attention
Robertson, Ian (2019)A Brain-computer Interface (BCI) can be used as a neurofeedback training tool to improve cognitive performance. BCIs aim to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the conventional neurofeedback methods by focusing on ... -
P3b amplitude as a signature of cognitive decline in the older population: An EEG study enhanced by Functional Source Separation
Robertson, Ian (2019)With the greying population, it is increasingly necessary to establish robust and individualized markers of cognitive decline. This requires the combination of well-established neural mechanisms, and the development of ... -
Plasticity of the Right-Lateralized Cognitive Reserve Network in Ageing
Dockree, Paul; Robertson, Ian (2018)Cognitive reserve (CR) is the phenomenon where older adults with more cognitively stimulating environments show less age-related cognitive decline. The right-lateralized fronto-parietal network has been proposed to ... -
The potential interruptive effect of tinnitus-related distress on attention.
Vanneste, Sven; Robertson, Ian (2020)The mechanism through which tinnitus affects attention is unclear. This study examines whether distress mediates the relationship(s) between tinnitus and sustained, selective and executive attentions as well as response ... -
Reduced electrodermal response to errors predicts poor sustained attention performance in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
O'Connell, Redmond; Robertson, Ian; Dockree, Paul (2004) -
Uncovering the Neural Signature of Lapsing Attention: Electrophysiological Signals Predict Errors up to 20 s before They Occur
Dockree, Paul; Robertson, Ian; O'Connell, Redmond (2009)The extent to which changes in brain activity can foreshadow human error is uncertain yet has important theoretical and practical implications. The present study examined the temporal dynamics of electrocortical signals ... -
Verbal intelligence is a more robust cross-sectional measure of cognitive reserve than level of education in healthy older adults.
Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert (2021)Background: Cognitive reserve is most commonly measured using socio-behavioural proxy variables. These variables are easy to collect, have a straightforward interpretation, and are widely associated with reduced risk of ...
