Inner experience differs in rumination and distraction without a change in electromyographical correlates of inner speech (2020)
Journal Article
Moffatt, J., Mitrenga, K. J., Alderson-Day, B., Moseley, P., & Fernyhough, C. (2020). Inner experience differs in rumination and distraction without a change in electromyographical correlates of inner speech. PLoS ONE, 15(9), Article e0238920. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0238920

Ruminative thought is a style of thinking which involves repetitively focusing upon one’s own negative mood, its causes and its consequences. The negative effects of rumination are well-documented, but comparatively little is known about how ruminati...

Imaginary companions, inner speech and auditory verbal hallucinations: What are the relations? (2019)
Journal Article

Interacting with imaginary companions (ICs) is now considered a natural part of childhood for many children, and has been associated with a range of positive developmental outcomes. Recent research has explored how the phenomenon of ICs in childhood... Read More about Imaginary companions, inner speech and auditory verbal hallucinations: What are the relations?.

Beyond Trauma: A Multiple Pathways Approach to Auditory Hallucinations in Clinical and Nonclinical Populations (2019)
Journal Article
Luhrmann, T. M., Alderson-Day, B., Bell, V., Bless, J. J., Corlett, P., Hugdahl, K., …Waters, F. (2019). Beyond Trauma: A Multiple Pathways Approach to Auditory Hallucinations in Clinical and Nonclinical Populations. Schizophrenia Bulletin: The Journal of Psychoses and Related Disorders, 45(Supplement_1), S24-S31. https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sby110

That trauma can play a significant role in the onset and maintenance of voice-hearing is one of the most striking and important developments in the recent study of psychosis. Yet the finding that trauma increases the risk for hallucination and for ps...

Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality (2018)
Journal Article
Kannape, O. A., Smith, E. J., Moseley, P., Roy, M. P., & Lenggenhager, B. (2019). Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality. Neuropsychologia, 124, 161-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.12.014

The seemingly stable construct of our bodily self depends on the continued, successful integration of multisensory feedback about our body, rather than its purely physical composition. Accordingly, pathological disruption of such neural processing is... Read More about Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality.

Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey (2018)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Alderson-Day, B., Kumar, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2018). Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey. Consciousness and Cognition, 65, 83-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2018.07.009

Musical hallucinations (MH) account for a significant proportion of auditory hallucinations, but there is a relative lack of research into their phenomenology. In contrast, much research has focused on other forms of internally generated musical expe... Read More about Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey.

The role of the superior temporal lobe in auditory false perceptions: A transcranial direct current stimulation study (2014)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Fernyhough, C., & Ellison, A. (2014). The role of the superior temporal lobe in auditory false perceptions: A transcranial direct current stimulation study. Neuropsychologia, 62, 202-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2014.07.032

Neuroimaging has shown that a network of cortical areas, which includes the superior temporal gyrus, is active during auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). In the present study, healthy, non-hallucinating participants (N=30) completed an auditory si...

Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Phenomenology of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations (2014)
Journal Article
Woods, A., Jones, N., Bernini, M., Callard, F., Alderson-Day, B., Badcock, J., …Fernyhough, C. (2014). Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Phenomenology of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations. Schizophrenia Bulletin: The Journal of Psychoses and Related Disorders, 40(Suppl 4), S246-S254. https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sbu003

Despite the recent proliferation of scientific, clinical, and narrative accounts of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs), the phenomenology of voice hearing remains opaque and undertheorized. In this article, we outline an interdisciplinary approach... Read More about Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Phenomenology of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations.

Functional Interaction between Right Parietal and Bilateral Frontal Cortices during Visual Search Tasks Revealed Using Functional Magnetic Imaging and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (2014)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., Ball, K., Moseley, P., Dowsett, J., Smith, D., Weis, S., & Lane, A. (2014). Functional Interaction between Right Parietal and Bilateral Frontal Cortices during Visual Search Tasks Revealed Using Functional Magnetic Imaging and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. PLoS ONE, 9(4), Article e93767. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0093767

The existence of a network of brain regions which are activated when one undertakes a difficult visual search task is well established. Two primary nodes on this network are right posterior parietal cortex (rPPC) and right frontal eye fields. Both ha...

Auditory verbal hallucinations as atypical inner speech monitoring, and the potential of neurostimulation as a treatment option (2013)
Journal Article

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...

Hypnagogic and hypnopompic (H&H) hallucinations are those experienced on the borders of sleep and waking. Intrusive thoughts have been proposed to relate to the occurrence of such experiences. In a sample of students (N = 299), the present study inve...
