Emoji are often misinterpreted. This study investigated whether individual differences known to impact facial emotion recognition would also affect emoji recognition. Participants completed an online emoji classification task, and then completed ques... Read More about Autism, Attachment, and Alexithymia: Investigating Emoji Comprehension.

The effects of simulated hemianopia on eye movements during text reading (2022)
Journal Article
Beh, A., McGraw, P. V., & Schluppeck, D. (2023). The effects of simulated hemianopia on eye movements during text reading. Vision Research, 204, Article 108163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2022.108163

Vision loss is a common, devastating complication of cerebral strokes. In some cases the complete contra-lesional visual field is affected, leading to problems with routine tasks and, notably, the ability to read. Although visual information crucial...

Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats (2022)
Journal Article
Warren, W. G., Papagianni, E. P., Hale, E., Brociek, R. A., Cassaday, H. J., & Stevenson, C. W. (2022). Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats. Frontiers in Pharmacology, 13, Article 1082760. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.1082760

Endocannabinoid transmission is emerging as a target for treating anxiety-related disorders, given its regulation of fear extinction. Boosting anandamide levels via inhibition of its metabolism by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) can enhance extinct...

Dominance of the left hemisphere for language processing is a prominent feature of brain organisation. Whereas structural models clarify the functional asymmetry due to direct access to local language circuits, dynamic models propose functional state...

Picky eating describes a pattern of eating characterised by a narrow dietary range with rejection of both novel and familiar foods. Research has suggested that picky eating in adulthood is associated with several negative psychosocial outcomes includ...
