Value bias of verbal memory (2019)
Journal Article
Caplan, J. B., Tomlinson, S. E., Chakravarty, S., Fujiwara, E., Madan, C., & Ober, I. (2019). Value bias of verbal memory. Journal of Memory and Language, 107, 25-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2019.03.005

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. A common finding is that items associated with higher reward value are subsequently remembered better than items associated with lower value. A confounding factor is that when a higher value stimuli is presented, this typically s... Read More about Value bias of verbal memory.

Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers (2019)
Journal Article
Blackburn, C. L., Kitterick, P. T., Jones, G., Sumner, C. J., & Stacey, P. C. (2019). Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers. Trends in Hearing, 23, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216519837866

Perceiving speech in background noise presents a significant challenge to listeners. Intelligibility can be improved by seeing the face of a talker. This is of particular value to hearing impaired people and users of cochlear implants. It is well kno...

Suboptimal human multisensory cue combination (2019)
Journal Article
Arnold, D. H., Petrie, K., Murray, C., & Johnston, A. (2019). Suboptimal human multisensory cue combination. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 5155. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-37888-7

Information from different sensory modalities can interact, shaping what we think we have seen, heard, or otherwise perceived. Such interactions can enhance the precision of perceptual decisions, relative to those based on information from a single s... Read More about Suboptimal human multisensory cue combination.

Early adversity in rural India impacts the brain networks underlying visual working memory (2019)
Journal Article
Wijeakumar, S., Kumar, A., M. Delgado Reyes, L., Tiwari, M., & Spencer, J. P. (2019). Early adversity in rural India impacts the brain networks underlying visual working memory. Developmental Science, 22(5), Article e12822. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12822

© 2019 The Authors. Developmental Science Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. There is a growing need to understand the global impact of poverty on early brain and behavioural development, particularly with regard to key cognitive processes that em...

The EEG signature of sensory evidence accumulation during decision formation closely tracks subjective perceptual experience (2019)
Journal Article
Tagliabue, C. F., Veniero, D., Benwell, C. S. Y., Cecere, R., Savazzi, S., & Thut, G. (2019). The EEG signature of sensory evidence accumulation during decision formation closely tracks subjective perceptual experience. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 4949. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-41024-4

How neural representations of low-level visual information are accessed by higher-order processes to inform decisions and give rise to conscious experience is a longstanding question. Research on perceptual decision making has revealed a late event-r...

Both dorsal and ventral attention network nodes are implicated in exogenously driven visuospatial anticipation (2019)
Journal Article
Thut, G., Ahrens, M.-M., Harvey, M., Veniero, D., & Freund, I. M. (2019). Both dorsal and ventral attention network nodes are implicated in exogenously driven visuospatial anticipation. Cortex, 117, 168-181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2019.02.031

Neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have implicated a dorsal fronto-parietal network in endogenous attention control and a more ventral set of areas in exogenous attention shifts. However, the extent and circumstances und... Read More about Both dorsal and ventral attention network nodes are implicated in exogenously driven visuospatial anticipation.

Exposure to intergroup conspiracy theories promotes prejudice which spreads across groups (2019)
Journal Article
Jolley, D., Meleady, R., & Douglas, K. M. (2020). Exposure to intergroup conspiracy theories promotes prejudice which spreads across groups. British Journal of Psychology, 111(1), 17-35. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12385

This research experimentally examined the effects of exposure to intergroup conspiracy theories on prejudice and discrimination. Study 1 (N=166) demonstrated that exposure to conspiracy theories concerning immigrants to Britain from the European Unio...

Prediction of Choice from Competing Mechanosensory and Choice-Memory Cues during Active Tactile Decision Making (2019)
Journal Article
Campagner, D., Evans, M. H., Chlebikova, K., Colins-Rodriguez, A., Loft, M. S., Fox, S., Pettifer, D., Humphries, M. D., Svoboda, K., & Petersen, R. S. (2019). Prediction of Choice from Competing Mechanosensory and Choice-Memory Cues during Active Tactile Decision Making. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(20), 3921-3933. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.2217-18.2019

Perceptual decision making is an active process where animals move their sense organs to extract task-relevant information. To investigate how the brain translates sensory input into decisions during active sensation, we developed a mouse active touc...
