Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness (1998)
Journal Article
Perrett, D., Lee, K., Penton-Voak, I., Rowland, D., Yoshikawa, S., Burt, D., …Akamatsu, S. (1998). Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness. Nature, 394, 884-887. https://doi.org/10.1038/29772

Testosterone-dependent secondary sexual characteristics in males may signal immunological competence(1) and are sexually selected for in several species(2,3). In humans, oestrogen-dependent characteristics of the female body correlate with health and... Read More about Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness.

The role of the parietal cortex in visual attention - hemispheric asymmetires and the effects of learning: A magnetic stimulation study (1998)
Journal Article
Walsh, V., Ellison, A., Ashbridge, E., & Cowey, A. (1998). The role of the parietal cortex in visual attention - hemispheric asymmetires and the effects of learning: A magnetic stimulation study. Neuropsychologia, 37(2), 245-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2898%2900099-2

Our previous studies of the role of the parietal cortex in visual learning and attention showed that the right parietal cortex is required for normal performance on conjunction visual search tasks but that its role depends on whether subjects are nai...

Task-specific impairments and enhancements induced by magnetic stimulation of human visual area V5 (1998)
Journal Article
Walsh, V., Ellison, A., Battelli, L., & Cowey, A. (1998). Task-specific impairments and enhancements induced by magnetic stimulation of human visual area V5. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 265(1395), 537-543. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.1998.0328

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to simulate the effects of highly circumscribed brain damage permanently present in some neuropsychological patients, by reversibly disrupting the normal functioning of the cortical area to which it...

Perceptual Learning in visual search: some evidence of specificities (1998)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., & Walsh, V. (1998). Perceptual Learning in visual search: some evidence of specificities. Vision Research, 38(3), 333-345. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0042-6989%2897%2900195-8

To test a recent suggestion that perceptual learning in visual search is non-specific, two groups of subjects were trained on visual search tasks and tested for transfer of learning to new tasks. One group was trained on parallel (“pop-out”) tasks an... Read More about Perceptual Learning in visual search: some evidence of specificities.

Perceptual asymmetries in judgements of facial attractiveness, age, gender, speech and expression (1997)
Journal Article
Burt, D., & Perrett, D. (1997). Perceptual asymmetries in judgements of facial attractiveness, age, gender, speech and expression. Neuropsychologia, 35, 685-693. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2896%2900111-x

Lateralization of perception of various facial attributes (age, attractiveness, gender, lip-reading and expression) was studied using chimaeric faces in which the sides of the face differed along one dimension (e.g. the left side was male and the rig...
