"Comforting, Reassuring, and…Hot": A Qualitative Exploration of Engaging in Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism and (Sado)masochism and Kink from the Perspective of Autistic Adults. (2024)
Journal Article
Pearson, A., & Hodgetts, S. (2024). "Comforting, Reassuring, and…Hot": A Qualitative Exploration of Engaging in Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism and (Sado)masochism and Kink from the Perspective of Autistic Adults. Autism in Adulthood, 6(1), 25-35. https://doi.org/10.1089/aut.2022.0103

There is a lack of research on autistic intimacy; however, a small body of research suggests that bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadism and (sado)masochism (BDSM)/kink may be appealing to autistic people. We aimed at exploring how engag...

Time spent playing video games during periods of isolation has no effect on loneliness or mental health (2023)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., Butler, J., & Patrick Williams, G. (2023). Time spent playing video games during periods of isolation has no effect on loneliness or mental health. Behaviour and Information Technology, https://doi.org/10.1080/0144929X.2023.2272201

Video games are a ubiquitous form of entertainment that also have the potential to fulfil the socialisation needs of players. In recent years, policy makers and healthcare providers have voiced growing concerns regarding the potential for video gamin...

Antipsychotic effects of sex hormones and atypical hemispheric asymmetries (2020)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., & Hausmann, M. (2020). Antipsychotic effects of sex hormones and atypical hemispheric asymmetries. Cortex, 127, 313-332. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2020.02.016

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) are a fundamental principle of brain organisation. While specific patterns of asymmetry are characteristic of healthy human brains, atypical or reduced FCAs have been reported for several psychotic disorders, in...

The Neuromodulatory Effects of Sex Hormones on Functional Cerebral Asymmetries and Cognitive Control (2018)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., & Hausmann, M. (2018). The Neuromodulatory Effects of Sex Hormones on Functional Cerebral Asymmetries and Cognitive Control. Zeitschrift für Neuropsychologie, 29(3), 127-139. https://doi.org/10.1024/1016-264x/a000224

Nearly 20 years ago, Hausmann and Güntürkün (2000a, 2000b) published a review article in the Journal of Neuropsychology/Zeitschrift für Neuropsychologie on the influences of sex hormones on functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs). They further present... Read More about The Neuromodulatory Effects of Sex Hormones on Functional Cerebral Asymmetries and Cognitive Control.

Sex differences and menstrual cycle effects in cognitive and sensory resting state networks (2017)
Journal Article
Weis, S., Hodgetts, S., & Hausmann, M. (2019). Sex differences and menstrual cycle effects in cognitive and sensory resting state networks. Brain and Cognition, 131, 66-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2017.09.003

It has not yet been established if resting state (RS) connectivity reflects stable characteristics of the brain, or if it is modulated by the psychological and/or physiological state of the participant. Based on research demonstrating sex hormonal ef... Read More about Sex differences and menstrual cycle effects in cognitive and sensory resting state networks.

Estradiol-related variations in top-down and bottom-up processes of cerebral lateralization (2017)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., Weis, S., & Hausmann, M. (2017). Estradiol-related variations in top-down and bottom-up processes of cerebral lateralization. Neuropsychology, 31(3), 319-327. https://doi.org/10.1037/neu0000338

Objective: Natural fluctuations of sex hormones have been shown to modulate cerebral lateralization in dichotic listening tasks. Two recent studies presented contradictory notions regarding the mechanism of this effect. Specifically, whereas Hjelmerv...

Music-induced changes in functional cerebral asymmetries (2016)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M., Hodgetts, S., & Eerola, T. (2016). Music-induced changes in functional cerebral asymmetries. Brain and Cognition, 104, 58-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2016.03.001

After decades of research, it remains unclear whether emotion lateralization occurs because one hemisphere is dominant for processing the emotional content of the stimuli, or whether emotional stimuli activate lateralised networks associated with the...
