Optic ataxia and the dorsal visual steam re-visited: impairment in bimanual haptic matching performed without vision (2017)
Journal Article

The ‘two visual systems’ account proposed by Milner and Goodale (1992) argued that visual perception and the visual control of action depend upon functionally distinct and anatomically separable brain systems: a ventral stream of visual processing th...

Public perceptions of self-harm: a test of an attribution model of public discrimination (2017)
Journal Article

This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study applied Corrigan, Markowitz, Watson, Rowan, and Kubiak’s (2003) attribution model of public discrimination toward individuals with mental ill-health to explore public perceptions of self-harm—an underre...

Familiarity-based stimulus generalization of conditioned suppression (2017)
Journal Article

We report that stimulus novelty/familiarity is able to modulate stimulus generalization and discuss the theoretical implications of novelty/familiarity coding. Rats in Skinner boxes received clicker → shock pairings before generalization testing to a... Read More about Familiarity-based stimulus generalization of conditioned suppression.

Mindcontrol: a web application for brain segmentation quality control (2017)
Journal Article

Tissue classification plays a crucial role in the investigation of normal neural development, brain-behavior relationships, and the disease mechanisms of many psychiatric and neurological illnesses. Ensuring the accuracy of tissue classification is i... Read More about Mindcontrol: a web application for brain segmentation quality control.

Online control of prehension predicts performance on a standardised motor assessment test in 8-12 year old children (2017)
Journal Article

Goal-directed hand movements are guided by sensory information and may be adjusted 'online', during the movement. If the target of a movement unexpectedly changes position, trajectory corrections can be initiated in as little as 100ms in adults. This...

Changing hands: persistent alterations to body image following brief exposure to multisensory distortions (2017)
Journal Article

The dynamic flexibility of body representation has been highlighted through numerous lines of research that range from clinical studies reporting disorders of body ownership, to experimentally induced somatic illusions that have provided evidence for...

Effects of exemplar scenarios on public preferences for energy futures using the my2050 scenario-building tool (2017)
Journal Article

Understanding which energy future configurations provide publicly acceptable levels of energy security, affordability, and environmental protection is critical for institutional decision-making. However, little is known about how scenarios influence... Read More about Effects of exemplar scenarios on public preferences for energy futures using the my2050 scenario-building tool.

Specialised information processing deficits and distinct metabolomics profiles following TM-domain disruption of Nrg1 (2017)
Journal Article

© The Author 2017. Although there is considerable genetic and pathologic evidence for an association between neuregulin 1 (NRG1) dysregulation and schizophrenia, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Mutant mice containing... Read More about Specialised information processing deficits and distinct metabolomics profiles following TM-domain disruption of Nrg1.

Time-order errors in duration judgment are independent of spatial positioning (2017)
Journal Article

Time-order errors (TOEs) occur when the discriminability between two stimuli are affected by the order in which they are presented. While TOEs have been studied since the 1860s, it is unknown whether the spatial properties of a stimulus will affect t...

Comparing GABA-­dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-­high-­field MRI (2017)
Journal Article

Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many brain and mental health disorders, and for this reason there is considerable interest in investigating how individual var...

Atypical processing of gaze cues and faces explains comorbidity between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (2017)
Journal Article

This study investigated the neurobiological basis of comorbidity between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We compared children with ASD, ADHD or ADHD+ASD and typically developing controls (CTRL) on b...

Wisdom gained?: assessing relationships between adversity, personality and well-being among a late adolescent sample (2017)
Journal Article

How do late adolescents make sense of stressful life events they have experienced in their lives? College students (N = 1225) reported the stressful events they had experienced in their lifetime up until the present survey, and indicated whether they...

GreekLex 2: a comprehensive lexical database with part-of-speech, syllabic, phonological, and stress information (2017)
Journal Article

Databases containing lexical properties on any given orthography are crucial for psycholinguistic research. In the last ten years, a number of lexical databases have been developed for Greek. However, these lack important part-of-speech information.... Read More about GreekLex 2: a comprehensive lexical database with part-of-speech, syllabic, phonological, and stress information.

Blaming a Few Bad Apples to Save a Threatened Barrel: The System-Justifying Function of Conspiracy Theories: System-Justifying Function of Conspiracy Theories (2017)
Journal Article

This research demonstrates that conspiracy theories—often represented as subversive alternatives to establishment narratives—may bolster, rather than undermine, support for the social status quo when its legitimacy is under threat. A pilot study (N =... Read More about Blaming a Few Bad Apples to Save a Threatened Barrel: The System-Justifying Function of Conspiracy Theories: System-Justifying Function of Conspiracy Theories.

The heterogeneity of the left dorsal premotor cortex evidenced by multimodal connectivity-based parcellation and functional characterization (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Inc. Despite the common conception of the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) as a single brain region, its diverse connectivity profiles and behavioral heterogeneity argue for a differentiated organization of the PMd. A previous study revea... Read More about The heterogeneity of the left dorsal premotor cortex evidenced by multimodal connectivity-based parcellation and functional characterization.
