Covert visual search within and beyond the effective oculomotor range (2013)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Ball, K., & Ellison, A. (2014). Covert visual search within and beyond the effective oculomotor range. Vision Research, 95, 11-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2013.12.003

Covert spatial attention is tightly coupled to the eye-movement system, but the precise nature of this coupling remains contentious. Recent research has argued that covert attention and overt eye-movements many share a common biological limit, such t...

Site-Dependent Effects of tDCS Uncover Dissociations in the Communication Network Underlying the Processing of Visual Search (2013)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Lane, A., Smith, D., & Ellison, A. (2013). Site-Dependent Effects of tDCS Uncover Dissociations in the Communication Network Underlying the Processing of Visual Search. Brain Stimulation, 6(6), 959-965. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2013.06.001

Background: The right posterior parietal cortex (rPPC) and the right frontal eye field (rFEF) form part of a network of brain areas involved in orienting spatial attention. Previous studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have demonstra...

Auditory verbal hallucinations as atypical inner speech monitoring, and the potential of neurostimulation as a treatment option (2013)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Fernyhough, C., & Ellison, A. (2013). Auditory verbal hallucinations as atypical inner speech monitoring, and the potential of neurostimulation as a treatment option. Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 37(10), 2794-2805. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2013.10.001

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are the experience of hearing voices in the absence of any speaker, often associated with a schizophrenia diagnosis. Prominent cognitive models of AVHs suggest they may be the result of inner speech being misattr...

Modulation of cortical excitability can speed up blindsight but not improve it (2013)
Journal Article
Cowey, A., Alexander, I., & Ellison, A. (2013). Modulation of cortical excitability can speed up blindsight but not improve it. Experimental Brain Research, 224(3), 469-475. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-012-3327-x

Blindsight has been widely investigated and its properties documented. One property still debated and contested is the puzzling absence of phenomenal visual percepts of visual stimuli that can be detected with perfect accuracy. We investigated the po...

Near and far space: understanding the neural mechanisms of spatial attention (2013)
Journal Article
Lane, A., Ball, K., Smith, D., Schenk, T., & Ellison, A. (2013). Near and far space: understanding the neural mechanisms of spatial attention. Human Brain Mapping, 34(2), 356-366. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.21433

Visuospatial neglect is a multicomponent syndrome, and one dissociation reported is between neglect for near (peripersonal) and far (extrapersonal) space. Owing to patient heterogeneity and extensive lesions, it is difficult to determine the precise... Read More about Near and far space: understanding the neural mechanisms of spatial attention.
