Development and decay of procedural skills in surgery: A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulated-based medical education interventions (2020)
Journal Article
Higgins, M., Madan, C., & Patel, R. (2021). Development and decay of procedural skills in surgery: A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulated-based medical education interventions. The Surgeon, 19(4), e67-e77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surge.2020.07.013

Context
Changes to surgical training programmes in the UK has led to a reduction in theatre time for trainees, and an increasing reliance on simulation to provide procedural experience. Whilst simulation offers opportunity for repetitive practice, t...

Age-related differences in myeloarchitecture measured at 7 T (2020)
Journal Article
Carradus, A. J., Mougin, O., Hunt, B. A., Tewarie, P. K., Geades, N., Morris, P. G., Brookes, M. J., Gowland, P. A., & Madan, C. R. (2020). Age-related differences in myeloarchitecture measured at 7 T. Neurobiology of Aging, 96, 246-254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2020.08.009

We have used the magnetisation transfer (MT) MRI measure as a primary measure of myelination in both the grey matter (GM) of the 78 cortical automated anatomical labelling (AAL) regions of the brain, and the underlying white matter in each region, in...

Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2020). Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans. Challenges, 11(2), Article 18. https://doi.org/10.3390/challe11020018

Video games are sometimes used as environments to evaluate AI agents’ ability to develop and execute complex action sequences to maximize a defined reward. However, humans cannot match the fine precision of the timed actions of AI agents; in games su... Read More about Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans.

Semi-automated transcription and scoring of autobiographical memory narratives (2020)
Journal Article
Wardell, V., Esposito, C., Madan, C. R., & Palombo, D. (2021). Semi-automated transcription and scoring of autobiographical memory narratives. Behavior Research Methods, 53, 507–517. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-020-01437-w

Autobiographical memory studies conducted with narrative methods are onerous, requiring significant resources in time and labor. We have created a semi-automated process that allows autobiographical transcribing and scoring methods to be streamlined....

Cortical Complexity in Anorexia Nervosa: A Fractal Dimension Analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Collantoni, E., Madan, C. R., Meneguzzo, P., Chiappini, I., Tenconi, E., Manara, R., & Favaro, A. (2020). Cortical Complexity in Anorexia Nervosa: A Fractal Dimension Analysis. Journal of Clinical Medicine, 9(3), 833. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm9030833

Fractal Dimension (FD) has shown to be a promising means to describe the morphology of cortical structures across different neurologic and psychiatric conditions, displaying a good sensitivity in capturing atrophy processes. In this study, we aimed a... Read More about Cortical Complexity in Anorexia Nervosa: A Fractal Dimension Analysis.

Accelerating the Evolution of Nonhuman Primate Neuroimaging (2020)
Journal Article
Milham, M., Petkov, C. I., Margulies, D. S., Schroeder, C. E., Basso, M. A., Belin, P., Fair, D. A., Fox, A., Kastner, S., Mars, R. B., Messinger, A., Poirier, C., Vanduffel, W., Van Essen, D. C., Alvand, A., Becker, Y., Ben Hamed, S., Benn, A., Bodin, C., Boretius, S., …Zhou, Y.-D. (2020). Accelerating the Evolution of Nonhuman Primate Neuroimaging. Neuron, 105(4), 600-603. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2019.12.023

Nonhuman primate neuroimaging is on the cusp of a transformation, much in the same way its human counterpart was in 2010, when the Human Connectome Project was launched to accelerate progress. Inspired by an open data-sharing initiative, the global c... Read More about Accelerating the Evolution of Nonhuman Primate Neuroimaging.

Affect enhances object-background associations: evidence from behaviour and mathematical modelling (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., Knight, A., Kensinger, E., & Mickley Steinmetz, K. (2020). Affect enhances object-background associations: evidence from behaviour and mathematical modelling. Cognition and Emotion, 34(5), 960-969. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2019.1710110

In recognition memory paradigms, emotional details are often recognised better than neutral ones, but at the cost of memory for peripheral details. We previously provided evidence that, when peripheral details must be recalled using central details a...
