Combined structural and functional imaging reveals cortical deactivations in grapheme-color synaesthesia.
NEWELL, FIONA; MITCHELL, KEVIN (2013) -
Combined structural and functional imaging reveals cortical deactivations in grapheme-colour synaesthesia.
NEWELL, FIONA (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 ... -
Crossmodal priming of unfamiliar faces supports early interactions between voices and faces in person perception
NEWELL, FIONA (2017)Although faces and voices are important sources of information for person recognition, it is unclear whether these cues interact at a late stage to act as complementary, unimodal sources for person perception or whether ... -
Distinctive voices enhance the visual recognition of unfamiliar faces
NEWELL, FIONA (2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -
Distinctive voices, not arbitrary sounds, enhance the visual recognition of faces
NEWELL, FIONA; NEWELL, FIONA (2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -
The Effect of Combined Sensory and Semantic Components on Audio Visual Speech Perception in Older Adults
SETTI, ANNALISA; KENNY, ROSE ANNE; NEWELL, FIONA; MAGUINNESS, CORRINA (2011)Previous studies have found that perception in older people benefits from multisensory over unisensory information. As normal speech recognition is affected by both the auditory input and the visual lip movements of the ... -
The effect of non-informative spatial sounds on haptic scene recognition
NEWELL, FIONA (2013)Previous studies found that performance in tactile or haptic spatial tasks improved when non-informative visual information was available, suggesting that vision provides a precise spatial frame to which tactile information ... -
The effect of the neurogranin schizophrenia risk variant rs12807809 on brain structure and function.
MORRIS, DEREK; MC GRATH, JANE; ROBERTSON, IAN H; NEWELL, FIONA; O'DOHERTY, JOHN PHILIP; GILL, MICHAEL; TROPEA, DANIELA; DONOHOE, GARY (JAMES); CORVIN, AIDEN PETER; GARAVAN, HUGH PATRICK; BOKDE, ARUN LAWRENCE WARREN (2012)A single nucleotide polymorphism rs12807809 located upstream of the neurogranin (NRGN) gene has been identified as a risk variant for schizophrenia in recent genome-wide association studies. To date, there has been little ... -
Multisensory processing in review: From physiology to behaviour
NEWELL, FIONA (Brill Academic, 2010)Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and functional brain imaging through to behaviour, perception ... -
Neuromorphic vibrotactile stimulation of fingertips for encoding object stiffness in telepresence sensory substitution and augmentation applications
NEWELL, FIONA (2018)We present a tactile telepresence system for real-time transmission of information about object stiffness to the human fingertips. Experimental tests were performed across two laboratories (Italy and Ireland). In the ... -
The NOS1 variant rs6490121 is associated with variation in prefrontal function and gray matter density in healthy individuals
FRODL, THOMAS; DONOHOE, GARY (JAMES); GILL, MICHAEL; CORVIN, AIDEN PETER; NEWELL, FIONA; ROSE, EMMA; FAHEY, CIARA; GARAVAN, HUGH PATRICK; BOKDE, ARUN LAWRENCE WARREN; O'DOHERTY, JOHN PHILIP; MC GRATH, JANE; KELLY, SINEAD; ROBERTSON, IAN H; MORRIS, DEREK (Elsevier, 2012)A common polymorphism within the nitric oxide sythanse-1 (NOS1) gene (rs6490121), initially identified as risk variant for schizophrenia, has been associated with variation in working memory and IQ. Here we investigated ... -
Perceptual and social attributes underlining age-related preferences for faces
NEWELL, FIONA (2016)Although aesthetic preferences are known to be important in person perception and can play a significant role in everyday social decisions, the effect of the age of the observer on aesthetic preferences for faces of different ... -
Smooth Movers: Perceptually Guided Human Motion Simulation
MCDONNELL, RACHEL; NEWELL, FIONA; O'SULLIVAN, CAROL (ACM Press, 2007)To animate a character, a number of poses are displayed in quick succession in order to create the illusion of motion. For most real-time applications, such as games, the pose update rate is largely constrained by the ...
