The sound-induced flash illusion reveals dissociable age-related effects in multisensory integration.
(2014)While aging can lead to significant declines in perceptual and cognitive function, the effects of age on multisensory integration, the process in which the brain combines information across the senses, are less clear. ... -
The "special effect" of case mixing on word identification: neuropsychological and transcranial magnetic stimulation studies dissociating case mixing from contrast reduction
(MIT Press, 2006)We present neuropsychological evidence and evidence from transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with normal readers, that the effects of case mixing and contrast reduction on word identification are qualitatively different. ... -

Stakeholder Involvement in Evaluation: Lessons Learned in the A-PiMod Project
(The Irish Ergonomics Society, 2015)The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of utilizing a stakeholder evaluation approach in Ergonomics/ Human Machine Interaction (HMI) research. Specifically, this paper will introduce the stakeholder ... -
Strong and specific associations between cardiovascular risk factors and white matter micro- and macrostructure in healthy aging
(2019)Cardiovascular health declines with age, increasing the risk of hypertension and elevated heart rate in middle and old age. Here, we used multivariate techniques to investigate the associations between cardiovascular health ... -
A Study of Intercountry Adoption Outcomes in Ireland

(2022)Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are highly prevalent among university students and predict impaired college performance and later life role functioning. Yet most students ... -
The Subiculum: What It Does, What It Might Do, And What Neuroanatomy Has Yet To Tell Us
(Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 2005)The subiculum is a pivotal but under-investigated structure positioned between the hippocampus proper and entorhinal and other cortices, as well as a range of subcortical structures. The subiculum has a range of ... -
Supported Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Programs for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in University Students: Open, Non-Randomised Trial of Acceptability, Effectiveness, and Satisfaction.
(2018)Background: Many university campuses have limited mental health services that cannot cope with the high demand. One alternative is to use internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) as a way of tackling barriers ... -
Suppressing the encoding of new information: A behavioral study derived from principles of hippocampal function.
(2013)Cognitive processes do not occur in isolation. Interactions between cognitive processes can be observed as a cost in performance following a switch between tasks, a cost that is greatest when the cognitive requirements ... -
Susceptibility to a multisensory speech illusion in older persons is driven by perceptual processes.
(2013)Recent studies suggest that multisensory integration is enhanced in older adults but it is not known whether this enhancement is solely driven by perceptual processes or affected by cognitive processes. Using the “McGurk ... -
A systematic review of physiological reactivity to stimuli in autism.
(2014)Objective: The prevalence of abnormal behavioural responses to a variety of stimuli among individuals with autism has led researchers to examine whether physiological reactivity is typical in this population. The current ... -
