Journal Article
Kirk, T. F., Kenyon, G. G., Craig, M. S., & Chappell, M. A. (2025). Stochastic variational inference improves quantification of multiple timepoint arterial spin labelling perfusion MRI. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 19, Article 1536752. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2025.1536752

Multiple-timepoint arterial spin labelling MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that permits measurement of both cerebral blood flow and arterial transit time, the latter of which is an emerging biomarker of interest for cerebrovascular health. Qu... Read More about Stochastic variational inference improves quantification of multiple timepoint arterial spin labelling perfusion MRI.

Relationships between subjective and objective measures of listening accuracy and effort in an online speech-in-noise study (2025)
Journal Article
Wiggins, I., Stacey, J. E., Naylor, G., & Saunders, G. H. (in press). Relationships between subjective and objective measures of listening accuracy and effort in an online speech-in-noise study. Ear and Hearing,

Objectives
Speech-in-noise performance is of paramount importance to daily function, and there exists a bewildering array of outcome measures to capture the many dimensions of this concept. The aim of the present study was to provide insight into ho...

Self-reported and task-based impulsivity, aggression, and childhood trauma in the general population: A United- Kingdom-based online survey (2025)
Journal Article
Aubrey, O., Jones, K. A., & Paddock, E. (2025). Self-reported and task-based impulsivity, aggression, and childhood trauma in the general population: A United- Kingdom-based online survey. Journal of Criminal Psychology,

Purpose
The societal, economic and personal costs of aggression are indisputable. Impulsivity and childhood trauma (CT) play a role in aggression but less is known about the potential mechanisms underlying these associations. This study aimed to inv...

Younger adults may be faster at making semantic predictions, but older adults are more efficient (2025)
Journal Article
Fernandez, L. B., Shehzad, M., & Hadley, L. V. (2025). Younger adults may be faster at making semantic predictions, but older adults are more efficient. Psychology and Aging, https://doi.org/10.1037/pag0000872

While there is strong evidence that younger adults use contextual information to generate semantic predictions, findings from older adults are less clear. Age affects cognition in a variety of different ways that may impact prediction mechanisms; whi...
