Experimental stroke in rodents, via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), can be associated with a negative impact on wellbeing and mortality. In hypertensive rodents, pre-stroke craniotomy increased survival and decreased body weight loss post-MC...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: the appraisal of facial attractiveness and its relation to conscious awareness (2018)
Journal Article

Previous research suggests that facial attractiveness relies on features such as symmetry, averageness and above-average sexual dimorphic characteristics. Due to the evolutionary and sociobiological value of these characteristics, it has been suggest...

Journal Article
Ksander, J. C., Kark, S. M., & Madan, C. R. (2018). Breathe Easy EDA: A MATLAB toolbox for psychophysiology data management, cleaning, and analysis [Breathe Easy EDA: A MATLAB toolbox for psychophysiology data management, cleaning, and analysis [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]]. F1000Research, 7, 216. https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.13849.2

Electrodermal activity (EDA) recordings are widely used in experimental psychology to measure skin conductance responses (SCRs) that reflect sympathetic nervous system arousal. However, irregular respiration patterns and deep breaths can cause EDA fl... Read More about Breathe Easy EDA: A MATLAB toolbox for psychophysiology data management, cleaning, and analysis.

Experience of mental health diagnosis and perceived misdiagnosis in autistic, possibly autistic and non-autistic adults (2018)
Journal Article
Au-Yeung, S. K., Bradley, L., Robertson, A. E., Shaw, R., Baron-Cohen, S., & Cassidy, S. (2019). Experience of mental health diagnosis and perceived misdiagnosis in autistic, possibly autistic and non-autistic adults. Autism, 23(6), 1508-1518. https://doi.org/10.1177/1362361318818167

Previous research shows that autistic people have high levels of co-occurring mental health conditions. Yet, a number of case reports have revealed that mental health conditions are often misdiagnosed in autistic individuals. A total of 420 adults wh...

Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map (2018)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Smith, A. D., & Haselgrove, M. (2019). Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map. Cognitive Psychology, 108, 22-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2018.11.001

A number of influential spatial learning theories posit that organisms encode a viewpoint independent (i.e. allocentric) representation of the global boundary shape of their environment in order to support spatial reorientation and place learning. In... Read More about Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map.

© 2018, The Author(s). Adapting to errors quickly is essential for survival. Reactionslowing after errors is commonly observed but whether this slowing is adaptive or maladaptive is unclear. Here, we analyse a large dataset from a flanker task using... Read More about Cortical beta power reflects decision dynamics and uncovers multiple facets of post-error adaptation.

Orientation tuning and contrast dependence of continuous flash suppression in amblyopia and normal vision (2018)
Journal Article
Gao, T. Y., Ledgeway, T., Lie, A. L., Anstice, N., Black, J., McGraw, P. V., & Thompson, B. (2018).

Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 59(13), 5462-5472. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.18-23954

Purpose: Suppression in amblyopia may be an unequal form of normal interocular suppression or a distinct pathophysiology. To explore this issue, we examined the orientation tuning and contrast dependence of continuous flash suppression (CFS) in adult...
