The primacy of chromatic edge processing in normal and cerebrally achromatopsic subjects (2003)
Journal Article
Kentridge, R., Cole, G., & Heywood, C. (2003). The primacy of chromatic edge processing in normal and cerebrally achromatopsic subjects. Progress in brain research, 144(144), 161-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0079-6123%2803%2914411-1

The local chromatic contrast between surfaces in a visual scene plays an important role in theories of color perception. Our studies of cerebral achromatopsia suggest that this contrast signal is computed independently of the more complex processes s...

In an earlier paper, we reported task-specific impairments and improvements caused by applying TMS over cortical visual area V5 [Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B 265 (1998) 537]. The phenomenon is further investigated in the present study... Read More about The effect of expectation on facilitation of colour/form conjunction tasks by TMS over area V5.

Attentional capture by colour and motion in cerebral achromatopsia (2003)
Journal Article

Cerebral achromatopsia is a rare condition in which damage to the ventromedial occipital area of the cortex results in the loss of colour experience. Nevertheless, cortically colour-blind patients can still use wavelength variation to perceive form a... Read More about Attentional capture by colour and motion in cerebral achromatopsia.

Pathways to understanding mind: Construct validity and predictive validity of maternal mind-mindedness (2003)
Journal Article
Meins, E., Fernyhough, C., Wainwright, R., Clark-Carter, D., Das Gupta, M., Fradley, E., & Tuckey, M. (2003). Pathways to understanding mind: Construct validity and predictive validity of maternal mind-mindedness. Child Development, 74(4), 1194-1211. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8624.00601

The construct validity of maternal mind-mindedness (MM) was investigated in the context of its relations with children's later understanding of mind. MM measures were obtained from infant–mother (N=52) interactions at 6 months, and from maternal inte...

Achromatopsia, color vision and cortex (2003)
Journal Article
Heywood, C., & Kentridge, R. (2003). Achromatopsia, color vision and cortex. Neurologic Clinics, 21(2), 483-500. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0733-8619%2802%2900102-0

Brain damage can entirely abolish color vision in cases of complete achromatopsia. Other processes that depend on wavelength differences, however, can be retained. Form and motion defined by pure color differences can be perceived readily even when t... Read More about Achromatopsia, color vision and cortex.

Do children with autism fail to process information in context? (2003)
Journal Article
Lopez, B., & Leekam, S. (2003). Do children with autism fail to process information in context?. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 44(2), 285-300. https://doi.org/10.1111/1469-7610.00121

Background: This research investigated the proposal that children with autism are impaired in processing information in its context. To date, this proposal rests almost exclusively on evidence from verbal tasks. Given evidence of visuo-spatial profic...

The cortical representation of centrally presented words: a magnetic stimulation study (2003)
Journal Article
Lavidor, M., Ellison, A., & Walsh, V. (2003). The cortical representation of centrally presented words: a magnetic stimulation study. Visual Cognition, 10(3), 341-362. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506280244000131

The right and left visual fields each project to the contralateral cerebral hemispheres. The current study aimed to investigate the extent of the functional overlap of the two hemifields along the vertical meridian. We applied repetitive transcranial...

Detectability of onsets versus offsets in the change detection paradigm (2003)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Kentridge, R., Gellatly, A., & Heywood, C. (2003). Detectability of onsets versus offsets in the change detection paradigm. Journal of Vision, 3(1), 22-31. https://doi.org/10.1167/3.1.3

The human visual system is particularly sensitive to abrupt onset of new objects that appear in the visual field. Onsets have been shown to capture attention even when other transients simultaneously occur. This has led some authors to argue for the...

Effects of deep brain stimulation on prehensile movements in PD patients are less pronounced when external timing cues are provided (2003)
Journal Article
Schenk, T., Baur, B., Steude, U., & Boetzel, K. (2003). Effects of deep brain stimulation on prehensile movements in PD patients are less pronounced when external timing cues are provided. Neuropsychologia, 41(7), 783-794. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2802%2900286-5

It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the movements of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are less impaired when external timing cues are provided. This suggests that the basal ganglia, which are impaired in PD, are less involved in the contro...

Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) excel in face recognition and show both a remarkable concern for social stimuli and a linguistic capacity for, in particular, emotionally referenced language. The animated full facial expression comprehension t... Read More about Facial expression recognition in Williams Syndrome.

Research only alluded to by Preston & de Waal (P&deW) indicates the disproportionate involvement of some brain regions in the perception and experience of certain emotions. This suggests that the neural substrate of primitive emotional contagion has... Read More about Emotion-specific clues to the neural substrate of empathy..
