A Neural Basis for Contagious Yawning (2017)
Journal Article

Contagious yawning, in which yawning is triggered involuntarily when we observe another person yawn, is a common form of echophenomena—the automatic imitation of another’s words (echolalia) or actions (echopraxia) [1]. The neural basis for echophenom... Read More about A Neural Basis for Contagious Yawning.

Developmental changes in sensitivity to spatial and temporal properties of sensory integration underlying body representation (2017)
Journal Article

The closer in time and space that two or more stimuli are presented, the more likely it is that they will be integrated together. A recent study by Hillock-Dunn and Wallace (2012) reported that the size of the visuo-auditory temporal binding window —...

Social seeking declines in young adolescents (2017)
Journal Article

The desire to engage with others is an important motivational force throughout our lifespan. It is known that social behaviour and preferences change from childhood to adulthood, but whether this change is linked with any changes in social motivation...

The integration of occlusion and disparity information for judging depth in autism spectrum disorder (2017)
Journal Article

In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), atypical integration of visual depth cues may be due to flattened perceptual priors or selective fusion. The current study attempts to disentangle these explanations by psychophysically assessing within-modality int...

Body representation difficulties in children and adolescents with autism may be due to delayed development of visuo-tactile temporal binding (2017)
Journal Article

Recent research suggests visuo-tactile binding is temporally extended in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), although it is not clear whether this specifically underlies altered body representation in this population. In the current study children and a... Read More about Body representation difficulties in children and adolescents with autism may be due to delayed development of visuo-tactile temporal binding.
