Advances in Studying Brain Morphology: The Benefits of Open-Access Data (2017)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2017). Advances in Studying Brain Morphology: The Benefits of Open-Access Data. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 11, Article 405. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00405

Until recently, neuroimaging data for a research study needed to be collected within one’s own lab. However, when studying inter-individual differences in brain structure, a large sample of participants is necessary. Given the financial costs involve...

Handedness effects of imagined fine motor movements (2017)
Journal Article
Donoff, C. M., Madan, C. R., & Singhal, A. (2018). Handedness effects of imagined fine motor movements. Laterality, 23(2), 228-248. https://doi.org/10.1080/1357650X.2017.1354870

Previous studies of movement imagery have found inter-individual differences in the ability to imagine whole-body movements. The majority of these studies have used subjective scales to measure imagery ability, which may be confounded by other factor... Read More about Handedness effects of imagined fine motor movements.

The contribution of nonrigid motion and shape information to object perception in pigeons and humans (2017)
Journal Article
Nankoo, J., Madan, C. R., Sawalha, J., Wylie, D. R., Friedman, A., Spetch, M. L., & Vuong, Q. C. (2017). The contribution of nonrigid motion and shape information to object perception in pigeons and humans. Journal of Vision, 17(6), https://doi.org/10.1167/17.6.17

The ability to perceive and recognize objects is essential to many animals, including humans. Until recently, models of object recognition have primarily focused on static cues, such as shape, but more recent research is beginning to show that motion...

Taboo stimuli are highly arousing, but it has been suggested that they also have inherent taboo-specific properties such as tabooness, offensiveness, or shock value. Prior studies have shown that taboo words have slower response times in lexical deci... Read More about Shock and awe: distinct effects of taboo words on lexical decision and free recall.
