Perception of stationary and moving sound following unilateral cortectomy (2009)
Journal Article
Lewald, J., Peters, S., Corballis, M., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Perception of stationary and moving sound following unilateral cortectomy. Neuropsychologia, 47(4), 962-971. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.10.016

The perception of motion is an essential prerequisite to responding adequately to the dynamic aspects of sensory information in the environment. The neural substrates of auditory motion processing are, at present, still a matter of debate. It has bee...

The development of change blindness: Children's attentional priorities whilst viewing naturalistic scenes (2009)
Journal Article
Fletcher-Watson, S., Colli, J., Findlay, J., & Leekam, S. (2009). The development of change blindness: Children's attentional priorities whilst viewing naturalistic scenes. Developmental Science, 12(3), 438-445. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2008.00784.x

Change blindness describes the surprising difficulty of detecting large changes in visual scenes when changes occur during a visual disruption. In order to study the developmental course of this phenomenon, a modified version of the flicker paradigm,...

Are hemianopic reading and visual exploration impairments visually elicited? New insights from eye movements in simulated hemianopia (2009)
Journal Article
Schuett, S., Kentridge, R., Zihl, J., & Heywood, C. (2009). Are hemianopic reading and visual exploration impairments visually elicited? New insights from eye movements in simulated hemianopia. Neuropsychologia, 47(3), 733-746. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.12.004

Hemianopic reading and visual exploration impairments are well-known clinical phenomena. Yet, it is unclear whether they are primarily caused by the hemianopic visual field defect itself or by additional brain injury preventing efficient spontaneous...

Sex differences and the impact of steroid hormones on the developing human brain (2009)
Journal Article
Neufang, S., Specht, K., Hausmann, M., Güntürkün, O., Herpertz-Dahlmann, B., Fink, G., & Konrad, K. (2009). Sex differences and the impact of steroid hormones on the developing human brain. Cerebral Cortex, 19(2), 464-473. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhn100

Little is known about the hormonal effects of puberty on the anatomy of the developing human brain. In a voxel-based morphometry study, sex-related differences in gray matter (GM) volume were examined in 46 subjects aged 8–15 years. Males had larger...

In a dark time: Development, validation, and correlates of the Durham Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic Hallucinations Questionnaire. (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Fernyhough, C., & Meads, D. (2009). In a dark time: Development, validation, and correlates of the Durham Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic Hallucinations Questionnaire. Personality and Individual Differences, 46(1), 30-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2008.08.021

One factor limiting research involving hypnagogic and hypnopompic (H&H) hallucinations is the lack of a brief, valid and reliable self-report measure of such experiences. The present paper reports on the development of the Durham Hypnagogic and Hypno...

Impaired grasping in a patient with optic ataxia: Primary visuomotor deficit or secondary consequence of misreaching? (2009)
Journal Article
Cavina-Pratesi, C., Ietswaart, M., Humphreys, G. W., Lestou, V., & David Milner, A. (2010). Impaired grasping in a patient with optic ataxia: Primary visuomotor deficit or secondary consequence of misreaching?. Neuropsychologia, 48(1), 226-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.09.008

Optic ataxia is defined as a spatial impairment of visually guided reaching, but it is typically accompanied by other visuomotor difficulties, notably a failure to scale the handgrip appropriately while reaching to grasp an object. This impaired gras... Read More about Impaired grasping in a patient with optic ataxia: Primary visuomotor deficit or secondary consequence of misreaching?.

Rumination, reflection, intrusive thoughts, and hallucination proneness: Towards a new model. (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2009). Rumination, reflection, intrusive thoughts, and hallucination proneness: Towards a new model. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 47(1), 54-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brat.2008.09.008

Although rumination has been proposed to play an important role in the creation of hallucinations, direct empirical tests of this proposal have not yet been performed. Employing a distinction between ruminative and reflective self-consciousness, we s... Read More about Rumination, reflection, intrusive thoughts, and hallucination proneness: Towards a new model..

Individual Differences in Children's Facial Expression Recognition Ability: The Role of Nature and Nurture (2009)
Journal Article
Lau, J., Burt, M., Leibenluft, E., Pine, D., Rijsdijk, F., Shiffrin, N., & Eley, T. (2009). Individual Differences in Children's Facial Expression Recognition Ability: The Role of Nature and Nurture. Developmental Neuropsychology, 34(1), 37-51. https://doi.org/10.1080/87565640802564424

We examined genetic and environmental influences on recognition of facial expressions in 250 pairs of 10-year-old monozygotic (83 pairs) and dizygotic (167 pairs) twins. Angry, fearful, sad, disgusted, and happy faces varying in intensity (15%–100%),...

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...
