Processing pipeline for image reconstructed fNIRS analysis using both MRI templates and individual anatomy (2021)
Journal Article
Forbes, S. H., Wijeakumar, S., Eggebrecht, A. T., Magnotta, V. A., & Spencer, J. P. (2021). Processing pipeline for image reconstructed fNIRS analysis using both MRI templates and individual anatomy. Neurophotonics, 8(2), Article 025010. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.nph.8.2.025010

Significance: Image reconstruction of fNIRS data is a useful technique for transforming channel-based fNIRS into a volumetric representation and managing spatial variance based on optode location. We present an innovative integrated pipeline for imag... Read More about Processing pipeline for image reconstructed fNIRS analysis using both MRI templates and individual anatomy.

Do we become more cautious for others when large amounts of money are at stake? (2021)
Journal Article
Batteux, E., Ferguson, E., & Tunney, R. J. (2021). Do we become more cautious for others when large amounts of money are at stake?. Experimental Psychology, 68(1), 32-40. https://doi.org/10.1027/1618-3169/a000508

A considerable proportion of financial decisions are made by agents acting on behalf of other people. Although people are more cautious for others when making medical decisions, this does not seem to be the case for economic decisions. However, studi...

T2 heterogeneity as an in vivo marker of microstructural integrity in medial temporal lobe subfields in ageing and mild cognitive impairment (2021)
Journal Article
Wearn, A. R., Nurdal, V., Saunders-Jennings, E., Knight, M. J., Madan, C. R., Fallon, S.-J., Isotalus, H. K., Kauppinen, R. A., & Coulthard, E. J. (2021). T2 heterogeneity as an in vivo marker of microstructural integrity in medial temporal lobe subfields in ageing and mild cognitive impairment. NeuroImage, 238, Article 118214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118214

A better understanding of early brain changes that precede loss of independence in diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical for development of disease-modifying therapies. Quantitative MRI, such as T2 relaxometry, can identify microstructur...

Hippocampal disinhibition reduces contextual and elemental fear conditioning while sparing the acquisition of latent inhibition (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Williams, S. A., Gwilt, M., Hock, R., Taylor, C., Loayza, J., Stevenson, C. W., Cassaday, H. J., & Bast, T. Hippocampal disinhibition reduces contextual and elemental fear conditioning while sparing the acquisition of latent inhibition

Hippocampal neural disinhibition, i.e. reduced GABAergic inhibition, is a key feature of schizophrenia pathophysiology. The hippocampus is an important part of the neural circuitry that controls fear conditioning and can also modulate prefrontal and...

Simple Reciprocal Fairness Message to Enhance Non-Donor’s Willingness to Donate Blood (2021)
Journal Article
Ferguson, E., Edwards, A. R., & Masser, B. M. (2022). Simple Reciprocal Fairness Message to Enhance Non-Donor’s Willingness to Donate Blood. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 56(1), 89-99. https://doi.org/10.1093/abm/kaab026

Background: Against a background of declining blood donor numbers, recruiting new donors is critical for the effective operations of healthcare providers. Thus, interventions are needed to recruit new blood donors.

Purpose: We provide initial evi... Read More about Simple Reciprocal Fairness Message to Enhance Non-Donor’s Willingness to Donate Blood.

Beyond volumetry: Considering age-related changes in brain shape complexity using fractal dimensionality (2021)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2021). Beyond volumetry: Considering age-related changes in brain shape complexity using fractal dimensionality. Aging Brain, 1, Article 100016. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nbas.2021.100016

Gray matter volume for cortical, subcortical, and ventricles all vary with age. However, these volumetric changes do not happen on their own, there are also age-related changes in cortical folding and other measures of brain shape. Fractal dimensiona...

Are predictions and perceptions of post-traumatic growth a form of ultimate justice reasoning? (2021)
Journal Article
Harvey, A. J., & Blackie, L. E. R. (2021). Are predictions and perceptions of post-traumatic growth a form of ultimate justice reasoning?. European Journal of Personality, 36(4), 443-465. https://doi.org/10.1177/08902070211014030

Researchers have questioned whether self-report questionnaires adequately assess post-traumatic growth (PTG), as it was theorized (positive personality change after trauma), versus assessing a broader coping mechanism. Across four studies, we examine... Read More about Are predictions and perceptions of post-traumatic growth a form of ultimate justice reasoning?.

Adaptation to one perceived motion direction can generate multiple velocity aftereffects (2021)
Journal Article
Gekas, N., & Mamassian, P. (2021). Adaptation to one perceived motion direction can generate multiple velocity aftereffects. Journal of Vision, 21(5), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.21.5.17

Sensory adaptation is a useful tool to identify the links between perceptual effects and neural mechanisms. Even though motion adaptation is one of the earliest and most documented aftereffects, few studies have investigated the perception of directi...
