Journal Article
Alderson-Day, B., Moseley, P., Mitrenga, K., Moffatt, J., Lee, R., Foxwell, J., …Fernyhough, C. (2023). Varieties of felt presence? Three surveys of presence phenomena and their relations to psychopathology. Psychological Medicine, 53(8), 3692-3700. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0033291722000344

Background Experiences of felt presence (FP) are well documented in neurology, neuropsychology and bereavement research, but systematic research in relation to psychopathology is limited. FP is a feature of sensorimotor disruption in psychosis, hypna... Read More about Varieties of felt presence? Three surveys of presence phenomena and their relations to psychopathology.

Susceptibility to auditory hallucinations is associated with spontaneous but not directed modulation of top-down expectations for speech (2022)
Journal Article
Alderson-Day, B., Moffatt, J., Lima, C. F., Krishnan, S., Fernyhough, C., Scott, S. K., …Evans, S. (2022). Susceptibility to auditory hallucinations is associated with spontaneous but not directed modulation of top-down expectations for speech.

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs)—or hearing voices—occur in clinical and non-clinical populations, but their mechanisms remain unclear. Predictive processing models of psychosis have proposed that hallucinations arise from an over-weighting of p...

Hearing voices as a feature of typical and psychopathological experience (2022)
Journal Article
Toh, W. L., Moseley, P., & Fernyhough, C. (2022). Hearing voices as a feature of typical and psychopathological experience. Nature reviews psychology, 1(2), 72-86. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44159-021-00013-z

Hearing a voice in the absence of any speaker can be a significant feature of psychiatric illness, but is also increasingly acknowledged as an important aspect of everyday, non-pathological experience. This recognition has led to a growth of interest... Read More about Hearing voices as a feature of typical and psychopathological experience.

Continuities and Discontinuities in the Cognitive Mechanisms Associated With Clinical and Nonclinical Auditory Verbal Hallucinations (2022)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Alderson-Day, B., Common, S., Dodgson, G., Lee, R., Mitrenga, K., …Fernyhough, C. (2022). Continuities and Discontinuities in the Cognitive Mechanisms Associated With Clinical and Nonclinical Auditory Verbal Hallucinations. Clinical Psychological Science, https://doi.org/10.1177/21677026211059802

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are typically associated with schizophrenia but also occur in individuals without any need for care (nonclinical voice hearers [NCVHs]). Cognitive models of AVHs posit potential biases in source monitoring, top-d...

Item-specific overlap between hallucinatory experiences and cognition in the general population: A three-step multivariate analysis of international multi-site data (2021)
Journal Article
Chinchani, A. M., Menon, M., Roes, M., Hwang, H., Allen, P., Bell, V., …Woodward, T. S. (2021). Item-specific overlap between hallucinatory experiences and cognition in the general population: A three-step multivariate analysis of international multi-site data. Cortex, 145, 131 - 144. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2021.08.014

Hallucinatory experiences (HEs) can be pronounced in psychosis, but similar experiences also occur in nonclinical populations. Cognitive mechanisms hypothesized to underpin HEs include dysfunctional source monitoring, heightened signal detection, and...

Explaining the relation between early mind-mindedness and children’s mentalizing abilities: The development of an observational preschool assessment (2021)
Journal Article
Fishburn, S., Meins, E., Fernyhough, C., Centifanti, L., & Larkin, F. (2022). Explaining the relation between early mind-mindedness and children’s mentalizing abilities: The development of an observational preschool assessment. Developmental Psychology, 58(1), 17-31. https://doi.org/10.1037/dev0001272

The aim of this research was to develop a new observation-based measure for assessing caregivers’ mind-mindedness in the preschool years and investigate whether this measure could explain the link between mothers’ early appropriate mind-related comme...

Modulating medial prefrontal cortex activity using real-time fMRI neurofeedback: Effects on reality monitoring performance and associated functional connectivity (2021)
Journal Article
Garrison, J., Saviola, F., Morgenroth, E., Barker, H., Lührs, M., Simons, J., …Allen, P. (2021). Modulating medial prefrontal cortex activity using real-time fMRI neurofeedback: Effects on reality monitoring performance and associated functional connectivity. NeuroImage, 245, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118640

Neuroimaging studies have found ‘reality monitoring’, our ability to distinguish internally generated experiences from those derived from the external world, to be associated with activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the brain. Here we... Read More about Modulating medial prefrontal cortex activity using real-time fMRI neurofeedback: Effects on reality monitoring performance and associated functional connectivity.

Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Subjective Experience of Remembering (2021)
Journal Article

The ability to remember events in vivid, multisensory detail is a significant part of human experience, allowing us to relive previous encounters and providing us with the store of memories that shape our identity. Recent research has sought to under... Read More about Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Subjective Experience of Remembering.

Correlates of hallucinatory experiences in the general population: an international multi-site replication study (2021)
Journal Article

Hallucinatory experiences can occur in both clinical and nonclinical groups. However, in previous studies of the general population, investigations of the cognitive mechanisms underlying hallucinatory experiences have yielded inconsistent results. We...
