Functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance in a community sample with no self-injury vs. non-suicidal self-injury only vs. those with both non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviour (2017)
Journal Article
Nielsen, E., Sayal, K., & Townsend, E. (2017). Functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance in a community sample with no self-injury vs. non-suicidal self-injury only vs. those with both non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviour. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 14(6), Article 575. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph14060575

Although emotional avoidance may be a critical factor in the pathway from psychological distress to self-injury and/or suicidality, little is known about the relative importance of differing functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance betwe...

Measuring nonlinear signal combination using EEG (2017)
Journal Article
Cunningham, D. G., Baker, D. H., & Peirce, J. W. (2017). Measuring nonlinear signal combination using EEG. Journal of Vision, 17(5), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1167/17.5.10

Relatively little is known about the processes, both linear and nonlinear, by which signals are combined beyond V1. By presenting two stimulus components simultaneously, flickering at different temporal frequencies (frequency tagging) while measuring...

Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, C., Sigurdsson, H. P., Pépés, S. E., Auer, D. P., Morris, P. G., Morgan, P. S., Gowland, P. A., & Jackson, S. R. (2017). Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER. NeuroImage, 156, 207-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.05.044

Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) has been used to assess the dynamic metabolic responses of the brain to a physiological stimulus non-invasively. However, only limited information on the dynamic functional response of γ-aminobutyric... Read More about Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER.

Seven- to 11-year-olds’ developing ability to recognize natural facial expressions of basic emotions (2017)
Journal Article
Lang, K., Anthoney, L., & Mitchell, P. (in press). Seven- to 11-year-olds’ developing ability to recognize natural facial expressions of basic emotions. Perception, 46(9), https://doi.org/10.1177/0301006617709674

Being able to recognize facial expressions of basic emotions is of great importance to social development. However, we still know surprisingly little about children’s developing ability to interpret emotions that are expressed dynamically, naturally...

Safety culture is a vital concept in human healthcare because of its influence on staff behaviours in relation to patient safety. Understanding safety culture is essential to ensure the acceptance and sustainability of changes, such as the introducti...

Criteria for conceptualizing behavioral addiction should be informed by the underlying behavioral mechanism (2017)
Journal Article
Tunney, R. J., & James, R. J. (2017). Criteria for conceptualizing behavioral addiction should be informed by the underlying behavioral mechanism. Addiction, 112(10), 1720-1721. https://doi.org/10.1111/add.13831

The criteria used to determine a behavioral addiction should be based on an understanding of the underlying psychological mechanisms. This should include an analysis of whether the behavior itself has psychological features that might externally dete...

The functional brain networks that underlie Early Stone Age tool manufacture (2017)
Journal Article
Putt, S. S., Wijeakumar, S., Franciscus, R. G., & Spencer, J. P. (2017). The functional brain networks that underlie Early Stone Age tool manufacture. Nature Human Behaviour, 1(6), Article 0102. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-017-0102

After 800,000 years of making simple Oldowan tools, early humans began manufacturing Acheulian handaxes around 1.75 million years ago. This advance is hypothesized to reflect an evolutionary change in hominin cognition and language abilities. We used...

Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition (2017)
Journal Article
Bast, T., Pezze, M., & McGarrity, S. (2017). Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition. British Journal of Pharmacology, 174(19), 3211-3225. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.13850

We review recent evidence concerning the significance of inhibitory GABA transmission and of neural disinhibition, i.e. deficient GABA transmission, within prefrontal cortex and hippocampus for clinically relevant cognitive functions. Both regions su... Read More about Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition.
