Background: Few studies have considered in detail the range of biosecurity practices undertaken on cattle farms, particularly within the UK. In this study, 56 cattle farmers in a 100 km2 area of north-west England were questioned regarding their on-f... Read More about Biosecurity on cattle farms: a study in North-West England.

Motion-related artefacts in EEG predict neuronally plausible patterns of activation in fMRI data (2012)
Journal Article
Jansen, M., White, T. P., Mullinger, K. J., Liddle, E. B., Gowland, P. A., Francis, S. T., Bowtell, R. W., & Liddle, P. F. (2012). Motion-related artefacts in EEG predict neuronally plausible patterns of activation in fMRI data. NeuroImage, 59(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.06.094

The simultaneous acquisition and subsequent analysis of EEG and fMRI data is challenging owing to increased noise levels in the EEG data. A common method to integrate data from these two modalities is to use aspects of the EEG data, such as the ampli...
