Journal Article
Turner, C., Baylan, S., Bracco, M., Cruz, G., Hanzal, S., Keime, M., Kuye, I., McNeill, D., Ng, Z., van der Plas, M., Ruzzoli, M., Thut, G., Trajkovic, J., Veniero, D., Wale, S. P., Whear, S., & Learmonth, G. (2023). Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events. Imaging Neuroscience, 1, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00001

Statistical power in cognitive neuroimaging experiments is often very low. Low sample size can reduce the likelihood of detecting real effects (false negatives) and increase the risk of detecting non-existing effects by chance (false positives). Here...

Looking at Emotions to Understand Responses to Environmental Challenges (2023)
Journal Article
Clayton, S., & Ogunbode, C. (2023). Looking at Emotions to Understand Responses to Environmental Challenges. Emotion Review, 15(4), 275-278. https://doi.org/10.1177/17540739231193757

Emotions are keys to understanding the response to environmental problems. We discuss three important roles. First, emotions like worry, anxiety, pride and hope can motivate pro-environmental behaviour. Second, emotions are also consequences; the emo...

In recent years, the wellbeing of students and staff in Higher Education has received increased attention in pedagogical research. However, the experiences of Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), or PhD researchers who teach alongside their doctoral...

Handedness effects on imagery of dominant‐ versus non‐dominant‐hand movements: An electroencephalographic investigation (2023)
Journal Article
Lambert, K. J. M., Chen, Y. Y., Donoff, C., Elke, J., Madan, C. R., & Singhal, A. (2023). Handedness effects on imagery of dominant‐ versus non‐dominant‐hand movements: An electroencephalographic investigation. European Journal of Neuroscience, 58(5), 3286-3298. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.16096

Mental representations of our bodies are thought to influence how we interact with our surroundings. We can examine these mental representations through motor imagery, the imagination of movement using scalp EEG recordings. The visual modality of mot...

The Emergence of Tuning to Global Shape Properties of Radial Frequency Patterns in the Ventral Visual Pathway (2023)
Journal Article
Lawrence, S. J., Zamboni, E., Vernon, R. J., Gouws, A. D., Wade, A. R., & Morland, A. B. (2023). The Emergence of Tuning to Global Shape Properties of Radial Frequency Patterns in the Ventral Visual Pathway. Journal of Neuroscience, 43(29), 5378-5390. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2237-22.2023

Radial frequency (RF) patterns, created by sinusoidal modulations of a circle’s radius, are processed globally when RF is low. These closed shapes therefore offer a useful way to interrogate the human visual system for global processing of curvature....

Heading Frequency and Risk of Cognitive Impairment in Retired Male Professional Soccer Players (2023)
Journal Article
Espahbodi, S., Hogervorst, E., Macnab, T.-M. P., Thanoon, A., Fernandes, G. S., Millar, B., Duncan, A., Goodwin, M., Batt, M., Fuller, C.

JAMA Network Open, 6(7), Article e2323822. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.23822

Importance Although professional soccer players appear to be at higher risk of neurodegenerative disease, the reason remains unknown.

Objective To examine whether heading frequency is associated with risk of cognitive impairment in retired profe... Read More about Heading Frequency and Risk of Cognitive Impairment in Retired Male Professional Soccer Players.

More than a prejudice reduction effect: Positive intergroup contact reduces conspiracy theory beliefs (2023)
Journal Article
Jolley, D., Seger, C. R., & Meleady, R. (2023). More than a prejudice reduction effect: Positive intergroup contact reduces conspiracy theory beliefs. European Journal of Social Psychology, 53(6), 1262-1275. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.2973

Emerging research suggests intergroup contact has broader implications than prejudice reduction. In three studies, we explored whether positive intergroup contact may serve as a means to reduce conspiracy beliefs. Study 1 (n = 287, pre‐registered) de...

Introduction
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may be characterized by different profiles of visual attention orienting. However, there are also many inconsistent findings emerging from the literature...
