Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., Hausmann, M., & Weis, S. (2015). High estradiol levels improve false memory rates and meta-memory in highly schizotypal women. Psychiatry Research, 229(3), 708-714. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2015.08.016

Overconfidence in false memories is often found in patients with schizophrenia and healthy participants with high levels of schizotypy, indicating an impairment of meta-cognition within the memory domain. In general, cognitive control is suggested to... Read More about High estradiol levels improve false memory rates and meta-memory in highly schizotypal women.

The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015)
Journal Article
Alderson-Day, B., Weis, S., McCarthy-Jones, S., Moseley, P., Smailes, D., & Fernyhough, C. (2016). The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 11(1), 110-120. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsv094

Inner speech has been implicated in important aspects of normal and atypical cognition, including the development of auditory hallucinations. Studies to date have focused on covert speech elicited by simple word or sentence repetition, while ignoring...

Sex hormones affect language lateralisation but not cognitive control in normally cycling women (2015)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., Weis, S., & Hausmann, M. (2015). Sex hormones affect language lateralisation but not cognitive control in normally cycling women. Hormones and Behavior, 74, 194-200. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2015.06.019

Natural fluctuations of sex hormones during the menstrual cycle have been shown to modulate language lateralisation. Using the dichotic listening (DL) paradigm, a well-established measurement of language lateralisation, several studies revealed that...

Functional Interaction between Right Parietal and Bilateral Frontal Cortices during Visual Search Tasks Revealed Using Functional Magnetic Imaging and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (2014)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., Ball, K., Moseley, P., Dowsett, J., Smith, D., Weis, S., & Lane, A. (2014). Functional Interaction between Right Parietal and Bilateral Frontal Cortices during Visual Search Tasks Revealed Using Functional Magnetic Imaging and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. PLoS ONE, 9(4), Article e93767. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0093767

The existence of a network of brain regions which are activated when one undertakes a difficult visual search task is well established. Two primary nodes on this network are right posterior parietal cortex (rPPC) and right frontal eye fields. Both ha...

Menstrual cycle effects on selective attention and its underlying cortical networks (2014)
Journal Article

It was the aim of the present study to investigate menstrual cycle effects on selective attention and its underlying functional cerebral networks. Twenty-one healthy, right-handed, normally cycling women were investigated by means of functional magne...

Emotional prosody modulates attention in schizophrenia patients with hallucinations (2013)
Journal Article
Alba-Ferrara, L., de Erausquin, G., Hirnstein, M., Weis, S., & Hausmann, M. (2013). Emotional prosody modulates attention in schizophrenia patients with hallucinations. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 7, Article 59. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2013.00059

Recent findings have demonstrated that emotional prosody (EP) attracts attention involuntarily (Grandjean et al., 2008). The automat shift of attention toward emotionally salient stimuli can be overcome by attentional control (Hahn et al., 2010). Att...

A Supramodal Neural Network for Speech and Gesture Semantics: An fMRI Study (2012)
Journal Article
Straube, B., Green, A., Weis, S., & Kircher, T. (2012). A Supramodal Neural Network for Speech and Gesture Semantics: An fMRI Study. PLoS ONE, 7(11), Article e51207. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0051207

In a natural setting, speech is often accompanied by gestures. As language, speech-accompanying iconic gestures to some extent convey semantic information. However, if comprehension of the information contained in both the auditory and visual modalit... Read More about A Supramodal Neural Network for Speech and Gesture Semantics: An fMRI Study.

Contributions of emotional prosody comprehension deficits to the formation of auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia (2012)
Journal Article

Deficits in emotional processing have been widely described in schizophrenia. Associations of positive symptoms with poor emotional prosody comprehension (EPC) have been reported at the phenomenological, behavioral, and neural levels. This review foc...

Monitoring the Mind: The Neurocognitive Correlates of Metamemory (2012)
Journal Article
Do Lam, A., Axmacher, N., Fell, J., Staresina, B., Gauggel, S., Wagner, T., …Weis, S. (2012). Monitoring the Mind: The Neurocognitive Correlates of Metamemory. PLoS ONE, 7(1), Article e30009. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0030009

Memory performance in everyday life is often far from perfect and therefore needs to be monitored and controlled by metamemory evaluations, such as judgments of learning (JOLs). JOLs support monitoring for goal-directed modification of learning. Beha... Read More about Monitoring the Mind: The Neurocognitive Correlates of Metamemory.

The neural correlates of emotional prosody comprehension: Disentangling simple from complex emotion (2011)
Journal Article

Background Emotional prosody comprehension (EPC), the ability to interpret another person's feelings by listening to their tone of voice, is crucial for effective social communication. Previous studies assessing the neural correlates of EPC have foun... Read More about The neural correlates of emotional prosody comprehension: Disentangling simple from complex emotion.
