Ventral extra-striate cortical areas are required for optimal orientation averaging (2007)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., Humphreys, G. W., & Bridge, H. (2007). Ventral extra-striate cortical areas are required for optimal orientation averaging. Vision Research, 47(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2006.10.018

We examined the ability of a previously well-studied patient with visual agnosia to compute the average orientation of elements in visual displays. In a structural MRI study, we show that the lesion is likely to involve a variety of ventral extra-str...

Self-ordered pointing as a test of working memory in typically developing children (2007)
Journal Article
Cragg, L., & Nation, K. (2007). Self-ordered pointing as a test of working memory in typically developing children. Memory, 15(5),

The self-ordered pointing test (SOPT; Petrides & Milner, 1982) is a test of non-spatial executive working
memory requiring the ability to generate and monitor a sequence of responses. Although used with
developmental clinical populations there are... Read More about Self-ordered pointing as a test of working memory in typically developing children.

Error analyses reveal contrasting deficits in “theory of mind”: neuropsychological evidence from a 3-option false belief task (2007)
Journal Article
Samson, D., Apperly, I. A., & Humphreys, G. W. (2007). Error analyses reveal contrasting deficits in “theory of mind”: neuropsychological evidence from a 3-option false belief task. Neuropsychologia, 45(11), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2007.03.013

Perspective taking is a crucial ability that guides our social interactions. In this study, we show how the specific patterns of errors of brain-damaged patients in perspective taking tasks can help us further understand the factors contributing to p...

When “happy” means “sad”: neuropsychological evidence for the right prefrontal cortex contribution to executive semantic processing (2007)
Journal Article
Samson, D., Connolly, C., & Humphreys, G. W. (2007). When “happy” means “sad”: neuropsychological evidence for the right prefrontal cortex contribution to executive semantic processing. Neuropsychologia, 45(5),

The contribution of the left inferior prefrontal cortex in semantic processing has been widely investigated in the last decade. Converging evidence from functional imaging studies shows that this region is involved in the “executive” or “controlled”...

Internally quenched peptides for the study of lysostaphin: An antimicrobial protease that kills Staphylococcus aureus (2006)
Journal Article
Warfield, R., Bardelang, P., Saunders, H., Chan, W. C., Penfold, C., James, R., & Thomas, N. R. (2006). Internally quenched peptides for the study of lysostaphin: An antimicrobial protease that kills Staphylococcus aureus. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 4(19), 3626-3638. https://doi.org/10.1039/b607999g

Lysostaphin (EC. 3.4.24.75) is a protein secreted by Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus and has been shown to be active against methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The design and synthesis of three internally quenched substrates for l...

There’s no place like home: cage odours and place preference in subordinate CD-1 male mice (2006)
Journal Article
Fitchett, A. E., Barnard, C. J., & Cassaday, H. J. (2006). There’s no place like home: cage odours and place preference in subordinate CD-1 male mice. Physiology and Behavior, 87(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2006.02.010

Prior studies using mice have shown that scent marks are an important source of information and can cause behavioural changes in other individuals. Studies have also shown that scent marks in the environment can affect the outcome of social interacti...

Examining consumer behaviour toward genetically modified (GM) food in Britain (2006)
Journal Article
Spence, A., & Townsend, E. (2006). Examining consumer behaviour toward genetically modified (GM) food in Britain. Risk Analysis, 26(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1539-6924.2006.00777.x

This study examined behaviour towards genetically modified (GM) food in a British community-based sample. We used an equivalent gain task in which participants actually received the options they chose to encourage truthful responding. In conjunction...

Implicit attitudes towards Genetically Modified (GM) foods: a comparison of context-free and context-dependent evaluations (2006)

Past research on attitudes towards GM food has focused on measuring explicit attitudes. Here we compared implicit attitudes towards GM foods with explicit attitudes towards GM foods. We used the Go No-Go task to investigate context-free implicit eval...

The effect of the adenosine A2A antagonist KW-6002 on motor and motivational processes in the rat (2005)
Journal Article

Rationale

It is well established that humans and rats respond to an imperative stimulus more rapidly as a function of the foreperiod preceding the target, and with this decrease in mean response time, there is also an increase in anticipatory (pri...

Seeing it my way: a case of a selective deficit in inhibiting self-perspective (2005)
Journal Article

Little is known about the functional and neural architecture of social reasoning, one major obstacle being that we crucially lack the relevant tools to test potentially different social reasoning components. In the case of belief reasoning, previous... Read More about Seeing it my way: a case of a selective deficit in inhibiting self-perspective.
