Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Rahman, S., James, R., Ferguson, E., Kiely, P., Young, A., & Walsh, D. (2019). Disease Activity Flares and Pain Flares in an early rheumatoid arthritis inception cohort; characteristics, antecedents and sequelae. BMC Rheumatology, 3, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41927-019-0100-9

Background
RA flares are common and disabling. They are described in terms of worsening inflammation but pain and inflammation are often discordant. To inform treatment decisions, we investigated whether inflammatory and pain flares are discrete ent...

Chemical neurotransmitters (such as dopamine) modulate cognitive function via ascending projections to various cortical and sub-cortical brain regions. This report describes and links to a relatively large dataset (up to N=112) compiled from control... Read More about Data showing regional differences in rat brain monoaminergic function.

Cultivating virtue in postgraduates: An empirical study of the Oxford Global Leadership Initiative (2019)
Journal Article

Although virtue ethics has emerged as an influential ethical theory within the academy, universities have not generally taken up the practical task of virtue cultivation. Some academics even resist the effort altogether. In response, this article pre... Read More about Cultivating virtue in postgraduates: An empirical study of the Oxford Global Leadership Initiative.

Alterations in functional brain networks in depressed patients with a suicide attempt history (2019)
Journal Article
Jung, J., Choi, S., Han, K.-M., Kim, A., Kang, W., Paik, J.-W., Lee, H.-W., & Ham, B.-J. (2020). Alterations in functional brain networks in depressed patients with a suicide attempt history. Neuropsychopharmacology, 45, 964–974. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41386-019-0560-z

Suicide is a major challenge in public health and is strongly associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). Despite recent neuroimaging developments, the neural correlates of suicide behavior in patients with MDD remain unclear. Independent compon...

Dynamic Facial Models for Video-Based Dimensional Affect Estimation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Song, S., Sánchez-Lozano, E., Kumar Tellamekala, M., Shen, L., Johnston, A., & Valstar, M. (2019, October). Dynamic Facial Models for Video-Based Dimensional Affect Estimation. Presented at 2019 IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision Workshop (ICCVW), Seoul, Korea (South)

Dimensional affect estimation from a face video is a challenging task, mainly due to the large number of possible facial displays made up of a set of behaviour primitives including facial muscle actions. The displays vary not only in composition but... Read More about Dynamic Facial Models for Video-Based Dimensional Affect Estimation.
