Over the past 40 or 50 years, scholars of religion have frequently attempted to use the tools of social science to analyse, describe, and explain the relevance and persistence of religion in the modern world. With the bold predictions of the seculari... Read More about The Hearing Voices Movement as Postmodern Religion-Making: Meaning, Power, Sacralisation, Identity.

Comparing the effect of temporal delay on the availability of egocentric and allocentric information in visual search (2017)
Journal Article

Frames of reference play a central role in perceiving an object’s location and reaching to pick that object up. It is thought that the ventral stream, believed to subserve vision for perception, utilises allocentric coding, while the dorsal stream, a...
