For years, experimental philosophers have attempted to discern whether laypeople find free will compatible with a scientifically deterministic understanding of the universe, yet no consensus has emerged. The present work provides one potential explan... Read More about Forget the folk: Moral responsibility preservation motives and other conditions for compatibilism.

Hallucinations in children and adolescents are now known to occur on a continuum from healthy to psychopathology-related phenomena. Although hallucinations in young populations are mostly transient, they can cause substantial distress. Despite halluc...

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...

Explaining the Effect of Likelihood Manipulation and Prior through a Neural Network of the Audiovisual Perception of Space (2019)
Journal Article
Ursino, M., Cuppini, C., Magosso, E., Beierholm, U., & Shams, L. (2019). Explaining the Effect of Likelihood Manipulation and Prior through a Neural Network of the Audiovisual Perception of Space. Multisensory Research, 32(2), 111-144. https://doi.org/10.1163/22134808-20191324

Results in the recent literature suggest that multisensory integration in the brain follows the rules of Bayesian inference. However, how neural circuits can realize such inference and how it can be learned from experience is still the subject of act...

Attention to the face is characterised by a difficult to inhibit first fixation to the eyes (2019)
Journal Article
Thompson, S. J., Foulsham, T., Leekam, S. R., & Jones, C. R. (2019). Attention to the face is characterised by a difficult to inhibit first fixation to the eyes. Acta Psychologica, 193, 229-238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2019.01.006

The eyes are preferentially attended over other facial features and recent evidence suggests this bias is difficult to suppress. To further examine the automatic and volitional nature of this bias for eye information, we used a novel prompting face r...

Proneness to unusual perceptual states – such as auditory or visual hallucinations – has been proposed to exist on a continuum in the general population, but whether there is a cognitive basis for such a continuum remains unclear. Intentional cogniti... Read More about Intentional inhibition but not source memory is related to hallucination-proneness and intrusive thoughts in a university sample.

Observer Models of Perceptual Development (2019)
Journal Article

We agree with Rahnev & Denison (R&D) that to understand perception at a process level, we must investigate why performance sometimes deviates from idealised decision models. Recent research reveals that such deviations from optimality are pervasive d... Read More about Observer Models of Perceptual Development.

Subcomponents of visuospatial working memory: Investigating the importance of order in sequential recall and its relationship with mathematics performance (2019)
