Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI (2018)
Journal Article
Alexander, D. J., Smith, J. A., Spencer, G. S., Jorge, J., Bowtell, R., & Mullinger, K. J. (2019). Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI. Human Brain Mapping, 40(2), 578-596. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.24396

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI allows multi-parametric characterisation of brain function, in principle enabling a more complete understanding of brain responses; unfortunately the hostile MRI environment severely reduces EEG data quality. Simply eliminating... Read More about Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI.

The Noise Exposure Structured Interview (NESI): an instrument for the comprehensive estimation of lifetime noise exposure (2018)
Journal Article
Guest, H., Dewey, R. S., Plack, C. J., Couth, S., Prendergast, G., Bakay, W., & Hall, D. A. (2018). The Noise Exposure Structured Interview (NESI): an instrument for the comprehensive estimation of lifetime noise exposure. Trends in Hearing, 22, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216518803213

Lifetime noise exposure is generally quantified by self report. The accuracy of retrospective self report is limited by respondent recall, but is also bound to be influenced by reporting procedures. Such procedures are of variable quality in current... Read More about The Noise Exposure Structured Interview (NESI): an instrument for the comprehensive estimation of lifetime noise exposure.

Fast detection and structural identification of carbocations on zeolites by dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced solid-state NMR (2018)
Journal Article
Xiao, D., Xu, S., Brownbill, N. J., Paul, S., Chen, L.-H., Pawsey, S., …Blanc, F. (2018). Fast detection and structural identification of carbocations on zeolites by dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced solid-state NMR. Chemical Science, 9(43), 8184-8193. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8sc03848a

Acidic zeolites are porous aluminosilicates used in a wide range of industrial processes such as adsorption and catalysis. The formation of carbocation intermediates plays a key role in reactivity, selectivity and deactivation in heterogeneous cataly...

A low FODMAP diet is associated with changes in the microbiota and reduction in breath hydrogen but not colonic volume in healthy subjects (2018)
Journal Article
Sloan, T. J., Jalanka, J., Major, G. A. D., Krishnasamy, S., Pritchard, S., Abdelrazig, S., …Spiller, R. C. (2018). A low FODMAP diet is associated with changes in the microbiota and reduction in breath hydrogen but not colonic volume in healthy subjects. PLoS ONE, 13(7), Article e0201410. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201410

Background & aims

Ingestion of poorly digested, fermentable carbohydrates (fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols; FODMAPs) have been implicated in exacerbating intestinal symptoms and the reduction of intake with symptom alleviatio...

Using Raman spectroscopy to improve hyperpolarized noble gas production for clinical lung imaging techniques (2017)
Book Chapter
Birchall, J., Whiting, N., Skinner, J., Barlow, M. J., & Goodson, B. M. (2017). Using Raman spectroscopy to improve hyperpolarized noble gas production for clinical lung imaging techniques. In Raman spectroscopy and applications (247-268). London: InTech. https://doi.org/10.5772/65114

Spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) can be used to “hyperpolarize” 129Xe for human lung MRI. SEOP involves transfer of angular momentum from light to an alkali metal (Rb) vapor, and then onto 129Xe nuclear spins during collisions; collisions between...

Voxel-based, brain-wide association study of aberrant functional connectivity in schizophrenia implicates thalamocortical circuitry. npj Schizophrenia, 1, Article 15016. https://doi.org/10.1038/npjschz.2015.16

BACKGROUND: Wernicke’s concept of ‘sejunction’ or aberrant associations among specialized brain regions is one of the earliest hypotheses attempting to explain the myriad of symptoms in psychotic disorders. Unbiased data mining of all possible brain-... Read More about Voxel-based, brain-wide association study of aberrant functional connectivity in schizophrenia implicates thalamocortical circuitry.
