Decoding Emotional Prosody in Parkinson’s Disease and its Potential Neuropsychological Basis (2009)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., & Barbosa Bouças, S. (2009). Decoding Emotional Prosody in Parkinson’s Disease and its Potential Neuropsychological Basis. Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 31(5), 553-564. https://doi.org/10.1080/13803390802360534

Parkinson’s disease patients may have difficulty decoding prosodic emotion cues. These data suggest the basal ganglia are involved, but may reflect dorsolateral prefrontal cortex dysfunction. An auditory emotional N-back task and cognitive N-back tas... Read More about Decoding Emotional Prosody in Parkinson’s Disease and its Potential Neuropsychological Basis.

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation (2009)
Journal Article
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R., Cassidy, T., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. (2009). The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation. Experimental Brain Research, 192(3), 499-510. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-008-1585-4

We sought to determine the effects of prism adaptation on peripherally cued visual attention shifting in patients with spatial neglect, using a task devised by Egly et al. (J Exp Psychol Gen 123:161–177, 1994) based on the classic Posner paradigm. Th...

Rehabilitation of hemianopic dyslexia: Are words necessary for re-learning oculomotor control? (2009)
Journal Article
Schuett, S., Heywood, C., Kentridge, R., & Zihl, J. (2009). Rehabilitation of hemianopic dyslexia: Are words necessary for re-learning oculomotor control?. Brain, 131(12), 3156-3168. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awn285

Unilateral homonymous visual field disorders after brain damage are frequently associated with a severe impairment of reading, called hemianopic dyslexia. A specific treatment method has been developed which allows patients to regain sufficient readi...

Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women (2009)
Journal Article
Bayer, U., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women. Hormones and Behavior, 55(1), 228-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2008.10.009

It has been suggested that hormone therapy (HT) in postmenopausal women differentially affects verbal and visuo-spatial abilities which mainly rely on left hemisphere (LH) and right hemisphere (RH) functioning, respectively. Thus, it seems likely tha... Read More about Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women.

Shape Processing Area LO and Illusory Contours (2009)
Journal Article
de-Wit, L., Milner, A., & Kentridge, R. (2009). Shape Processing Area LO and Illusory Contours. Perception, 38(8), 1260-1263. https://doi.org/10.1068/p6388

Recent functional MRI has demonstrated that illusory contours can activate the primary visual cortex. Our investigation sought to demonstrate whether this correlation reflects computations performed in the primary visual cortex or feedback effects fr...

Natural facial motion enhances cortical responses to faces (2009)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., & Pilz, K. (2009). Natural facial motion enhances cortical responses to faces. Experimental Brain Research, 194(3), 465-475. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1721-9

The ability to perceive facial motion is important to successfully interact in social environments. Previously, imaging studies have investigated neural correlates of facial motion primarily using abstract motion stimuli. Here, we studied how the bra...
