Feeling socially powerless makes you more prone to bumping into things on the right and induces leftward line bisection error (2010)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, D., Guinote, A., Weick, M., Molinari, R., & Graham, K. (2010). Feeling socially powerless makes you more prone to bumping into things on the right and induces leftward line bisection error. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 17(6), 910-914. https://doi.org/10.3758/pbr.17.6.910

Social power affects the manner in which people view themselves and act toward others, a finding that has attracted broad interest from the social and political sciences. However, there has been little interest from those within cognitive neuroscienc...

Asymmetry in face processing during childhood measured with chimeric faces (2010)
Journal Article
Aljuhanay, A., Milne, E., Burt, D., & Pascalis, O. (2010). Asymmetry in face processing during childhood measured with chimeric faces. Laterality, 15(4), 439-450. https://doi.org/10.1080/13576500902972823

Studies with adults have found a left bias in their perception of faces, which suggests a right hemisphere specialisation in processing facial information. Hemispheric asymmetry is observed during the first year of life but it is still unclear at wha... Read More about Asymmetry in face processing during childhood measured with chimeric faces.

Hormonal effects on the plasticity of cognitive brain functions (2010)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M. (2010). Hormonal effects on the plasticity of cognitive brain functions. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science, 1(4), 607-612. https://doi.org/10.1002/wcs.21

Sex hormones have powerful neuronal actions in the brain and affect the interaction between functionally linked cortical areas within and across cerebral hemispheres, probably via their neuromodulatory properties on gamma-aminobutyric acid and glutam...

Supramodal representations of perceived emotions in the human brain (2010)
Journal Article
Peelen, M., Atkinson, A., & Vuilleumier, P. (2010). Supramodal representations of perceived emotions in the human brain. Journal of Neuroscience, 30(30), 10127-10134. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.2161-10.2010

Basic emotional states (such as anger, fear, and joy) can be similarly conveyed by the face, the body, and the voice. Are there human brain regions that represent these emotional mental states regardless of the sensory cues from which they are percei...

Insights into the neural control of locomotion from walking through doorways in Parkinson's disease (2010)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Limousin, P., Peters, A., & Day, B. (2010). Insights into the neural control of locomotion from walking through doorways in Parkinson's disease. Neuropsychologia, 48(9), 2750-2757. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2010.05.022

Recent evidence suggests that a network of brain areas may be involved in visually guided walking. Here we study patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experience ‘freezing’ behaviour to investigate the visual control of locomotion and the role o...

Introduction to William Stephenson's Quest for a Science of Subjectivity (2010)
Journal Article
Good, J. (2010). Introduction to William Stephenson's Quest for a Science of Subjectivity. Psychoanalysis and History, 12(2), 211-243. https://doi.org/10.3366/pah.2010.0006

In this introduction to the life and work of William Stephenson my aim is to provide a general overview of the development of his thinking and, more specifically, to highlight the importance he attached to the study of single cases. I also attempt to... Read More about Introduction to William Stephenson's Quest for a Science of Subjectivity.

A phenomenological survey of auditory verbal hallucinations in the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states. (2010)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Fernyhough, C., & Larøi, F. (2010). A phenomenological survey of auditory verbal hallucinations in the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states. Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, 9(2), 213-224. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11097-010-9158-y

The phenomenology of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) occurring in hypnagogic and hypnopompic (H&H) states has received little attention. In a sample of healthy participants (N = 325), 108 participants reported H&H AVHs and answered subsequent q...

Are some deaths worse than others? The effect of ‘labelling’ on people’s perceptions (2010)
Journal Article
Robinson, A., Covey, J., Spencer, A., & Loomes, G. (2010). Are some deaths worse than others? The effect of ‘labelling’ on people’s perceptions. Journal of Economic Psychology, 31(3), 444-455. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joep.2010.01.011

This paper sets out to explore the extent to which perceptions regarding the ’badness’ of different types of deaths differ according to how those deaths are ’labelled’ in the elicitation procedure. In particular, we were interested in whether respons... Read More about Are some deaths worse than others? The effect of ‘labelling’ on people’s perceptions.

Disgust and fear recognition in paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (2010)
Journal Article
Sprengelmeyer, R., Atkinson, A., Sprengelmeyer, A., Mair-Walther, J., Jacobi, C., Wildemann, B., …Hacke, W. (2010). Disgust and fear recognition in paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Cortex, 46(5), 650-657. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2009.04.007

Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PNLE) affects limbic portions of the brain associated with recognition of social signals of emotions. Yet it is not known whether this perceptual ability is impaired in individuals with PNLE. We therefore conducted... Read More about Disgust and fear recognition in paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.
