Towards Human Sensory Augmentation: A Cognitive Neuroscience Framework for Evaluating Integration of New Signals within Perception, Brain Representations, and Subjective Experience (2024)
Journal Article
Nardini, M., Scheller, M., Ramsay, M., Kristiansen, O., & Allen, C. (2025). Towards Human Sensory Augmentation: A Cognitive Neuroscience Framework for Evaluating Integration of New Signals within Perception, Brain Representations, and Subjective Experience. Augmented Human Research, 10(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41133-024-00075-7

New wearable devices and technologies provide unprecedented scope to augment or substitute human perceptual abilities. However, the flexibility to reorganize brain processing to use novel sensory signals during early sensitive periods in infancy is m...

Pre-frontal stimulation does not reliably increase reward responsiveness (2023)
Journal Article
Hadden, L., Penny, H., Jones, A., Partridge, A., Lancaster, T., & Allen, C. (2023). Pre-frontal stimulation does not reliably increase reward responsiveness. Cortex, 159, 268-285. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2022.11.011

Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and its effects can be fatal, with over 800,000 people dying by suicide each year. Neuromodulatory treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are being used to treat depression....

Not all pre-registrations are equal (2022)
Journal Article
Waldron, S., & Allen, C. (2022). Not all pre-registrations are equal. Neuropsychopharmacology, 47(13), 2181-2183. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41386-022-01418-x

There is growing recognition that troubling numbers of experiments fail to replicate in fields relevant to Neuropsychopharmacology, from neuroimaging [1] to animal behaviour [2]. We believe a counteraction to this, led by pharmacology, is increased e... Read More about Not all pre-registrations are equal.
