Journal Article
Monaghan, A. J., Morin, C. W., Steinhoff, D. F., Wilhelmi, O., Hayden, M., Quattrochi, D. A., …Ernst, K. (2016). On the Seasonal Occurrence and Abundance of the Zika Virus Vector Mosquito Aedes Aegypti in the Contiguous United States. PLoS currents, https://doi.org/10.1371/currents.outbreaks.50dfc7f46798675fc63e7d7da563da76

Introduction: An ongoing Zika virus pandemic in Latin America and the Caribbean has raised concerns that travel-related introduction of Zika virus could initiate local transmission in the United States (U.S.) by its primary vector, the mosquito Aedes...

Humanizing Outgroups Through Multiple Categorization: The Roles of Individuation and Threat (2016)
Journal Article
Prati, F., Crisp, R. J., Meleady, R., & Rubini, M. (2016). Humanizing Outgroups Through Multiple Categorization: The Roles of Individuation and Threat. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 42(4), 526-539. https://doi.org/10.1177/0146167216636624

In three studies, we examined the impact of multiple categorization on intergroup dehumanization. Study 1 showed that perceiving members of a rival university along multiple versus simple categorical dimensions enhanced the tendency to attribute huma...

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...

The contribution of single case studies to the neuroscience of vision (2016)
Journal Article
Zihl, J., & Heywood, C. (2016). The contribution of single case studies to the neuroscience of vision. PsyCh Journal, 5(1), 5-17. https://doi.org/10.1002/pchj.123

Visual neuroscience is concerned with the neurobiological foundations of visual perception, that is, the morphological, physiological, and functional organization of the visual brain and its co-operative partners. One important approach for understan... Read More about The contribution of single case studies to the neuroscience of vision.

Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear? An observational feasibility study on auditory stimulation in the womb (2016)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Francis, B., Buttanshaw, L., Austen, J., & Reid, V. (2016). Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear? An observational feasibility study on auditory stimulation in the womb. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2(1), Article 14. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-016-0053-3

Background: We investigate in this feasibility study whether specific lip movements increase prenatally when hearing a particular sound. We hypothesised that fetuses would produce more mouth movements resembling those required to make the sound stimu... Read More about Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear?

Perception-memory interactions reveal a computational strategy for perceptual constancy (2016)
Journal Article
Olkkonen, M., Saarela, T., & Allred, S. (2016). Perception-memory interactions reveal a computational strategy for perceptual constancy. Journal of Vision, 16(3), Article 38. https://doi.org/10.1167/16.3.38

A key challenge for the visual system is to extract constant object properties from incoming sensory information. This information is ambiguous because the same sensory signal can arise from many combinations of object properties and viewing conditio...

Television exposure predicts body size ideals in rural Nicaragua (2016)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L., Jucker, J., Thornborrow, T., Jamieson, M., Burt, D., Barton, R., …Tovée, M. (2016). Television exposure predicts body size ideals in rural Nicaragua. British Journal of Psychology, 107(4), 752-767. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12184

Internalization of a thin ideal has been posited as a key risk factor in the development of pathological eating attitudes. Cross-culturally, studies have found a preference for heavier bodies in populations with reduced access to visual media compare...

Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels (2016)
Journal Article
Burton, E., Wattam-Bell, J., Rubin, G., Atkinson, J., Braddick, O., & Nardini, M. (2016). Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels. Vision Research, 121, 39-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2016.01.008

Advances in potential treatments for rod and cone dystrophies have increased the need to understand the contributions of rods and cones to higher-level cortical vision. We measured form, motion and biological motion coherence thresholds and EEG stead... Read More about Cortical Processing of Global Form, Motion and Biological Motion Under Low Light Levels.

Encouraging majority support for immigrant access to health services: Multiple categorization and social identity complexity as antecedents of health equality (2016)
Journal Article
Prati, F., Crisp, R. J., Pratto, F., & Rubini, M. (2016). Encouraging majority support for immigrant access to health services: Multiple categorization and social identity complexity as antecedents of health equality. Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 19(4, SI), 426-438. https://doi.org/10.1177/1368430216629814

Health disparities between groups remain even after accounting for established causes such as structural and economic factors. The present research tested, for the first time, whether multiple social categorization processes can explain enhanced supp...
