Pedunculopontine Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinsonian Disorders: A Case Series. (2020)
Journal Article
Dayal, V., Rajabian, A., Jahanshahi, M., Aviles-Olmos, I., Cowie, D., Peters, A., …Foltynie, T. (2021). Pedunculopontine Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinsonian Disorders: A Case Series. Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 99(4), 287–294. https://doi.org/10.1159/000511978

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has been investigated for the treatment of levodopa-refractory gait dysfunction in parkinsonian disorders, with equivocal results so far. Objectives: To summarize the clin... Read More about Pedunculopontine Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinsonian Disorders: A Case Series..

A creative destruction approach to replication: Implicit work and sex morality across cultures (2020)
Journal Article
Tierney, W., Hardy, J., Ebersole, C. R., Viganola, D., Clemente, E. G., Gordon, M., …Uhlmann, E. L. (2021). A creative destruction approach to replication: Implicit work and sex morality across cultures. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 93, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2020.104060

How can we maximize what is learned from a replication study? In the creative destruction approach to replication, the original hypothesis is compared not only to the null hypothesis, but also to predictions derived from multiple alternative theoreti...

Perceptual constancy with a novel sensory skill (2020)
Journal Article
Norman, L. J., & Thaler, L. (2021). Perceptual constancy with a novel sensory skill. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 47(2), 269-281. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000888

Making sense of the world requires perceptual constancy—the stable perception of an object across changes in one’s sensation of it. To investigate whether constancy is intrinsic to perception, we tested whether humans can learn a form of constancy th... Read More about Perceptual constancy with a novel sensory skill.

Sex/gender differences in brain activity - It's time for a biopsychosocial approach to cognitive neuroscience (2020)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M. (2021). Sex/gender differences in brain activity - It's time for a biopsychosocial approach to cognitive neuroscience. Cognitive Neuroscience, 12(3-4), 178-179. https://doi.org/10.1080/17588928.2020.1853087

There is compelling evidence that men and women differ in brain activity in long-term memory and other cognitive functions. However, until the origins of sex/gender differences in brain activity, and consequently behavior, are not fully understood, t...

Uncertainty and predictiveness modulate attention in human predictive learning (2020)
Journal Article
Chao, C., McGregor, A., & Sanderson, D. J. (2021). Uncertainty and predictiveness modulate attention in human predictive learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 150(6), 1177-1202. https://doi.org/10.1037/xge0000991

Attention determines which cues receive processing and are learned about. Learning, however, leads to attentional biases. In the study of animal learning, in some circumstances, cues that have been previously predictive of their consequences are subs...

Cognitive and phenomenological characteristics of hallucination-proneness across the lifespan (2020)
Journal Article
Thompson, R., Hallas, L., Moseley, P., & Alderson-Day, B. (2021). Cognitive and phenomenological characteristics of hallucination-proneness across the lifespan. Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 26(1), 18-34. https://doi.org/10.1080/13546805.2020.1850435

The impact of age on hallucination-proneness within healthy adult cohorts and its relation to underlying cognitive mechanisms is underexplored. Based on previously researched trends in relation to cognitive ageing, we hypothesised that older and youn...

Recognising other-race faces is more effortful: The effect of individuation instructions on encoding-related ERP Dm effects (2020)
Journal Article
Tüttenberg, S. C., & Wiese, H. (2021). Recognising other-race faces is more effortful: The effect of individuation instructions on encoding-related ERP Dm effects. Biological Psychology, 158, Article 107992. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2020.107992

Humans are better at recognising faces from their own vs. another ethnic background. Socio-cognitive theories of this own-race bias (ORB) propose that reduced recognition of other-race faces results from less motivation to attend to individuating inf...

Piloerection is not a reliable physiological correlate of awe (2020)
Journal Article
McPhetres, J., & Shtulman, A. (2021). Piloerection is not a reliable physiological correlate of awe. International Journal of Psychophysiology, 159, 88-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2020.11.011

In scientific and popular literature, piloerection (e.g. goosebumps) is often claimed to accompany the experience of awe, though this correlation has not been tested empirically. Using two pre-registered and independently collected samples (N = 210),... Read More about Piloerection is not a reliable physiological correlate of awe.

Exploring the Determinants of Color Perception Using #Thedress and Its Variants: The Role of Spatio-Chromatic Context, Chromatic Illumination, and Material–Light Interaction (2020)
Journal Article
Aston, S., Denisova, K., Hurlbert, A., Olkkonen, M., Pearce, B., Rudd, M., …Xiao, B. (2020). Exploring the Determinants of Color Perception Using #Thedress and Its Variants: The Role of Spatio-Chromatic Context, Chromatic Illumination, and Material–Light Interaction. Emotion, 49(11), 1235-1251. https://doi.org/10.1177/0301006620963808

The colors that people see depend not only on the surface properties of objects but also on how these properties interact with light as well as on how light reflected from objects interacts with an individual’s visual system. Because individual visua...

Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened (2020)
Journal Article
Wedge-Roberts, R., Aston, S., Beierholm, U., Kentridge, R., Hurlbert, A., Nardini, M., & Olkkonen, M. (2020). Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened. Journal of Vision, 20(12), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.20.12.4

Previous studies suggest that to achieve color constancy, the human visual system makes use of multiple cues, including a priori assumptions about the illumination (“daylight priors”). Specular highlights have been proposed to aid constancy, but the... Read More about Specular highlights improve colour constancy when other cues are weakened.
