Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention (2009)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Jackson, S., & Rorden, C. (2009). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention. Brain Stimulation, 2(2), 81-87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2008.07.005

Voluntary eye movements and covert shifts of visual attention activate the same brain regions. Specifically, the intra parietal sulcus and the frontal eye fields (FEF) appear to be involved both with generating voluntary saccades as well with attendi...

The phenomenology of inner speech: Comparison of schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations and healthy controls (2009)
Journal Article
Langdon, R., Jones, S., Connaughton, E., & Fernyhough, C. (2009). The phenomenology of inner speech: Comparison of schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations and healthy controls. Psychological Medicine, 39(4), 655-663. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0033291708003978

Background Despite the popularity of inner-speech theories of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs), little is known about the phenomenological qualities of inner speech in patients with schizophrenia who experience AVHs (Sz-AVHs), or how this compar...

Delayed self-recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder (2009)
Journal Article
Bowler, L. S., & M., D. (2009). Delayed self-recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(4), 643-650. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-008-0670-7

This study aimed to investigate temporally extended self-awareness (awareness of one’s place in and continued existence through time) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using the delayed self-recognition (DSR) paradigm (Povinelli et al., Child Develo...

Metacognition may be more impaired than mindreading in autism (2009)
Journal Article
Williams, D., Lind, S., & Happé, F. (2009). Metacognition may be more impaired than mindreading in autism. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 32(2), 162-163. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x09000818

This commentary focuses on evidence from autism concerning the relation between metacognition and mindreading. We support Carruthers' rejection of models 1 (independent systems) and 3 (metacognition before mindreading), and provide evidence to streng...

Is that within reach? fMRI reveals that the human superior parieto-occipital cortex encodes objects reachable by the hand (2009)
Journal Article
Gallivan, J., Cavina-Pratesi, C., & Culham, J. (2009). Is that within reach? fMRI reveals that the human superior parieto-occipital cortex encodes objects reachable by the hand. Journal of Neuroscience, 29(14), 4381-4391. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.0377-09.2009

Macaque neurophysiology and human neuropsychology results suggest that parietal cortex encodes a unique representation of space within reach of the arm. Here, we used slow event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whet...

Neuroscientific evidence for simulation and shared substrates in emotion recognition: beyond faces (2009)
Journal Article
Heberlein, A., & Atkinson, A. (2009). Neuroscientific evidence for simulation and shared substrates in emotion recognition: beyond faces. Emotion Review, 1(2), 162-177. https://doi.org/10.1177/1754073908100441

According to simulation or shared-substrates models of emotion recognition, our ability to recognize the emotions expressed by other individuals relies at least in part on processes that internally simulate the same emotional state in ourselves. The... Read More about Neuroscientific evidence for simulation and shared substrates in emotion recognition: beyond faces.

Caffeine, stress, and proneness to psychosis-like experiences: a preliminary investigation. (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2009). Caffeine, stress, and proneness to psychosis-like experiences: a preliminary investigation. Personality and Individual Differences, 46(4), 562-564. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2008.10.032

In diathesis–stress models of psychosis, cortisol released in response to stressors is proposed to play a role in the development of psychotic experiences. Individual differences in cortisol response to stressors are therefore likely to play a role i...

Maternal stress and depression and the lateralisation of infant cradling (2009)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Hopkins, B., Helms, P., & Williams, B. (2009). Maternal stress and depression and the lateralisation of infant cradling. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 50(3), 263-269. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2007.01791.x

Background: Studies show that 65–85% of mothers cradle their infants to the left side of their body, but that this bias changes with maternal mood and stress. The present study examines the hypothesis that maternal stress and depression status will i... Read More about Maternal stress and depression and the lateralisation of infant cradling.
