Incorporating heterogeneity in farmer disease control behaviour into a livestock disease transmission model (2023)
Journal Article
Hill, E., Prosser, N., Brown, P., Ferguson, E., Green, M., Kaler, J., …Tildesley, M. (2023). Incorporating heterogeneity in farmer disease control behaviour into a livestock disease transmission model. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 219, Article 106019. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2023.106019

Human behaviour is critical to effective responses to livestock disease outbreaks, especially with respect to vaccination uptake. Traditionally, mathematical models used to inform this behaviour have not taken heterogeneity in farmer behaviour into a...

Energetically efficient learning in neuronal networks (2023)
Journal Article
Pache, A., & van Rossum, M. C. (2023). Energetically efficient learning in neuronal networks. Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 83, Article 102779. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conb.2023.102779

Human and animal experiments have shown that acquiring and storing information can require substantial amounts of metabolic energy. However, computational models of neural plasticity only seldom take this cost into account, and might thereby miss an... Read More about Energetically efficient learning in neuronal networks.

LexMAL: A quick and reliable lexical test for Malay speakers (2023)
Journal Article
Lee, S. T., van Heuven, W. J. B., Price, J. M., & Leong, C. X. R. (2023). LexMAL: A quick and reliable lexical test for Malay speakers. Behavior Research Methods, https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-023-02202-5

Objective language proficiency measures have been found to provide better and more consistent estimates of bilinguals’ language processing than self-rated proficiency (e.g., Tomoschuk et al., 2019; Wen & van Heuven, 2017a). However, objectively measu... Read More about LexMAL: A quick and reliable lexical test for Malay speakers.

SUBTLEX-CY: A new word frequency database for Welsh (2023)
Journal Article
van Heuven, W. J. B., Payne, J. S., & Jones, M. W. (2024). SUBTLEX-CY: A new word frequency database for Welsh. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 77(5), 1052-1067. https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231190315

We present SUBTLEX-CY, a new word frequency database created from a 32-million-word corpus of Welsh television subtitles. An experiment comprising a lexical decision task examined SUBTLEX-CY frequency estimates against words with inconsistent frequen...

Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex (2023)
Journal Article
Asghar, M., Sanchez-Panchuelo, R., Schluppeck, D., & Francis, S. (2023). Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex. Brain Topography, 36, 816-834. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10548-023-01000-8

Functional magnetic resonance imaging can provide detailed maps of how sensory space is mapped in the human brain. Here, we use a novel 16 stimulator setup (a 4 × 4 grid) to measure two-dimensional sensory maps of between and within-digit (D2–D4) spa...

Attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research: Effects of stigma and selected research project summaries (2023)
Journal Article
Cassaday, H. J., Cavenagh, L., Aluthgamage, H., Crooks, A., Bonardi, C., Stevenson, C. W., …Muir, C. (2023). Attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research: Effects of stigma and selected research project summaries. PLoS ONE, 18(8), Article e0290232. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0290232

Three groups of participants (largely recruited from the UK) completed a survey to examine attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research, after reading the lay (N = 182) or technical (N = 201) summary of a research project, or no summary (N...

Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing (2023)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Ogallar, P. M., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2024). Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 77(7), 1375-1389. https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231197170

Three experiments explored whether weakening temporal contiguity between auditory cues and an aversive outcome attenuated cue competition in an avoidance learning task with human participants. Overall, with strong temporal contiguity between auditory... Read More about Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing.

Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing (2023)
Journal Article
Quigley, M., Bradley, A., & Haselgrove, M. (2023). Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing. Behavioural Brain Research, 453, Article 114631. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2023.114631

When two cues are presented together and reliably predict an outcome (AB-O1) an “overshadowing” effect is typically observed. That is, the relationship between these cues and the outcome is learned about less well than a cue presented on its own with... Read More about Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing.

Artificial intelligence for diagnostic and prognostic neuroimaging in dementia: A systematic review (2023)
Journal Article
Borchert, R. J., Azevedo, T., Badhwar, A., Bernal, J., Betts, M., Bruffaerts, R., …Rittman, T. (2023). Artificial intelligence for diagnostic and prognostic neuroimaging in dementia: A systematic review.
