Individual conscious and unconscious perception of emotion: Theory, methodology and applications (2021)
Journal Article
Tsikandilakis, M., Bali, P., Yu, Z., Madan, C., Derrfuss, J., Chapman, P., & Groeger, J. (2021). Individual conscious and unconscious perception of emotion: Theory, methodology and applications. Consciousness and Cognition, 94, Article 103172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2021.103172

In this manuscript we review a seminal debate related to subliminality and concerning the relationship of consciousness, unconsciousness, and perception. We present the methodological implementations that contemporary psychology introduced to explore...

Background: Very little is known about self-harm in children. We describe the characteristics and outcomes of children under 13years who presented following self-harm to five hospitals in England. Methods: We included children under 13years who prese...

When does it pay to follow the crowd? Children optimize imitation of causally- irrelevant actions performed by a majority (2021)
Journal Article
Evans, C. L., Burdett, E. R. R., Murray, K., & Carpenter, M. (2021). When does it pay to follow the crowd? Children optimize imitation of causally- irrelevant actions performed by a majority. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 212, Article 105229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2021.105229

Cultural evolutionary theory posits that human cultural complexity rests on a set of adaptive learning biases that help to guide functionality and optimality in social learning, but this sits in contrast with the commonly held view that children are...

Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia (2021)
Journal Article
Humphries, M. D., & Gurney, K. (2021). Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia. Biological Cybernetics, 115(4), 323-329. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-021-00887-5

How does your brain decide what you will do next? Over the past few decades compelling evidence has emerged that the basal ganglia, a collection of nuclei in the fore- and mid-brain of all vertebrates, are vital to action selection. Gurney, Prescott,... Read More about Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia.

Attentional eye selection modulates sensory eye dominance (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, M., McGraw, P., & Ledgeway, T. (2021). Attentional eye selection modulates sensory eye dominance. Vision Research, 188, 10-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2021.06.006

Brief periods of monocular deprivation significantly modify binocular visual processing. For example, patching one eye for a few hours alters the inter-ocular balance, with the previously patched eye becoming dominant once the patch is removed (Lungh...

An investigation into the relationship between climate change anxiety and mental health among Gen Z Filipinos (2021)
Journal Article
Reyes, M. E. S., Carmen, B. P. B., Luminarias, M. E. P., Mangulabnan, S. A. N. B., & Ogunbode, C. A. (2021). An investigation into the relationship between climate change anxiety and mental health among Gen Z Filipinos. Current Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-021-02099-3

Climate change and mental health concerns are both defining issues of the generation of today. It has been established that the worsening climate causes many environmental disasters and physical health problems. However, its psychological impacts are...

Frontotemporal activation differs between perception of simulated cochlear implant speech and speech in background noise: An image-based fNIRS study (2021)
Journal Article
Defenderfer, J., Forbes, S., Wijeakumar, S., Hedrick, M., Plyler, P., & Buss, A. T. (2021). Frontotemporal activation differs between perception of simulated cochlear implant speech and speech in background noise: An image-based fNIRS study. NeuroImage, 240, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118385

In this study we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate neural responses in normal-hearing adults as a function of speech recognition accuracy, intelligibility of the speech stimulus, and the manner in which speech is disto...

The immediate impact of transcranial magnetic stimulation on brain structure: Short-term neuroplasticity following one session of cTBS (2021)
Journal Article
Jung, J., & Lambon Ralph, M. A. (2021). The immediate impact of transcranial magnetic stimulation on brain structure: Short-term neuroplasticity following one session of cTBS. NeuroImage, 240, Article 118375. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118375

Recent evidence demonstrates that activation-dependent neuroplasticity on a structural level can occur in a short time (2 hour or less) in the human brain. However, the exact time scale of structural plasticity in the human brain remains unclear. Usi...
