Journal Article
Alderson-Day, B., Diederen, K., Fernyhough, C., Ford, J. M., Horga, G., Margulies, D. S., …Jardri, R. (2016). Auditory Hallucinations and the Brain’s Resting-State Networks: Findings and Methodological Observations. Schizophrenia Bulletin: The Journal of Psychoses and Related Disorders, 42(5), 1110-1123. https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sbw078

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the potential for alterations to the brain’s resting-state networks (RSNs) to explain various kinds of psychopathology. RSNs provide an intriguing new explanatory framework for hallucinations, wh...

Specialization of the motor system in infancy: From broad tuning to selectively specialized purposeful actions (2016)
Journal Article
D'Souza, H., Cowie, D., Karmiloff-Smith, A., & Bremner, A. (2016). Specialization of the motor system in infancy: From broad tuning to selectively specialized purposeful actions. Developmental Science, 20(4), Article e12409. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12409

In executing purposeful actions, adults select sufficient and necessary limbs. But infants often move goal-irrelevant limbs, suggesting a developmental process of motor specialization. Two experiments with 9- and 12-month-olds revealed gradual decrea... Read More about Specialization of the motor system in infancy: From broad tuning to selectively specialized purposeful actions.

What is ‘successful feeding’ on the neonatal intensive care unit? A psychologist’s perspective (2016)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Lewis, S., Lal, M., & Patterson, L. (2016). What is ‘successful feeding’ on the neonatal intensive care unit? A psychologist’s perspective. MIDIRS midwifery digest, 26(2), 231-235

This paper discusses studies of feeding preterm infants on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with a view to defining ‘success in feeding’. The term ‘successful feeding’ is used regularly but without any universal consensus of specific parameter... Read More about What is ‘successful feeding’ on the neonatal intensive care unit?

The way in which human and non-human animals represent the shape of their environments remains a contentious issue. According to local theories of shape learning, organisms encode the local geometric features of the environment that signal a goal loc...

Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving (2016)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Sokunbi, M., Lawrence, A., Lawrence, N., & Linden, D. (2016). Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving. Brain Imaging and Behavior, 11(3), 915-924. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11682-016-9558-x

FMRI-based neurofeedback transforms functional brain activation in real-time into sensory stimuli that participants can use to self-regulate brain responses, which can aid the modification of mental states and behavior. Emerging evidence supports the... Read More about Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving.

Motivational interdependence is an organizing principle in Schwartz’s circumplex model of social values, which has received abundant cross-cultural support. We used fMRI to test whether motivational relations between social values predict different b... Read More about Neural evidence of motivational conflict between social values.
