Removing hand form information specifically impairs emotion recognition for fearful and angry body stimuli (2019)
Journal Article
Ross, P., & Flack, T. (2020). Removing hand form information specifically impairs emotion recognition for fearful and angry body stimuli. Emotion, 49(1), 98-112. https://doi.org/10.1177/0301006619893229

Emotion perception research has largely been dominated by work on facial expressions, but emotion is also strongly conveyed from the body. Research exploring emotion recognition from the body tends to refer to “the body” as a whole entity. However, t...

The Visual Word Form Area natively processes shape sequences: Implications for developmental dyslexia (2019)
Journal Article
Whitney, C., Ross, P., Zhou, Z., & Strother, L. The Visual Word Form Area natively processes shape sequences: Implications for developmental dyslexia. https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/vr58g. Manuscript submitted for publication

The Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) is a cortical region that adapts to support fluent word recognition. Surprisingly, the region of ventrolateral occipitotemporal cortex that becomes VWFA is specialized for processing the motion of inanimate objects th...

Emotion Modulation of Body-Selective Areas in the Developing Brain (2019)
Journal Article
Ross, P., de Gelder, B., Crabbe, F., & Grosbras, M. (2019). Emotion Modulation of Body-Selective Areas in the Developing Brain. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 38, Article 100660. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100660

Emotions are strongly conveyed by the human body and the ability to recognize emotions from body posture or movement is still developing through childhood and adolescence. To date, very few studies have explored how these behavioural observations are... Read More about Emotion Modulation of Body-Selective Areas in the Developing Brain.
