Journal Article
Kühn, S., Fernyhough, C., Alderson-Day, B., & Hurlburt, R. (2014). Inner experience in the scanner: Can high fidelity apprehensions of inner experience be integrated with fMRI?. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01393

To provide full accounts of human experience and behavior, research in cognitive neuroscience must be linked to inner experience, but introspective reports of inner experience have often been found to be unreliable. The present case study aimed at pr... Read More about Inner experience in the scanner: Can high fidelity apprehensions of inner experience be integrated with fMRI?.

Associations between intrusive thoughts, reality discrimination and hallucination-proneness in healthy young adults (2014)
Journal Article
Smailes, D., Meins, E., & Fernyhough, C. (2015). Associations between intrusive thoughts, reality discrimination and hallucination-proneness in healthy young adults. Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 20(1), 72-80. https://doi.org/10.1080/13546805.2014.973487

Introduction. People who experience intrusive thoughts are at increased risk of developing hallucinatory experiences, as are people who have weak reality discrimination skills. No study has yet examined whether these two factors interact to make a pe...

Cognitive styles and future depressed mood in early adulthood: The importance of global attributions (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Cognitive theories of depression suggest that beliefs of low self-worth and the tendency to attribute negative events to causes that are global (widespread rather than specific) and stable (will persist rather than change in the future) a...

The role of the superior temporal lobe in auditory false perceptions: A transcranial direct current stimulation study (2014)
Journal Article

Neuroimaging has shown that a network of cortical areas, which includes the superior temporal gyrus, is active during auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). In the present study, healthy, non-hallucinating participants (N=30) completed an auditory si...

Inner speech is a commonly experienced but poorly understood phenomenon. The Varieties of Inner Speech Questionnaire (VISQ; McCarthy-Jones & Fernyhough, 2011) assesses four characteristics of inner speech: dialogicality, evaluative/motivational conte...

A number of studies have explored hallucinations as complex experiences involving interactions between psychological, biological, and environmental factors and mechanisms. Nevertheless, relatively little attention has focused on the role of culture i... Read More about Culture and Hallucinations: Overview and Future Directions.

Typically reported as vivid, multisensory experiences which may spontaneously resolve, hallucinations are present at high rates during childhood. The risk of associated psychopathology is a major cause of concern. On the one hand, the risk of develop...

Despite the recent proliferation of scientific, clinical, and narrative accounts of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs), the phenomenology of voice hearing remains opaque and undertheorized. In this article, we outline an interdisciplinary approach... Read More about Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Phenomenology of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations.
