Adaptation maintains population homeostasis in primary visual cortex.
(2013-06)Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation controls the responsiveness of ... -
Adaptation of the Mullen Scales of Early Learning for use among infants aged 5- to 24-months in rural Gambia.
(Wiley, 2019-02-09)Infants in low-resource settings are at heightened risk for compromised cognitive development due to a multitude of environmental insults in their surroundings. However, the onset of adverse outcomes and trajectory of ... -
Attention modulates trans-saccadic integration.
(2018-01)With every saccade, humans must reconcile the low resolution peripheral information available before a saccade, with the high resolution foveal information acquired after the saccade. While research has shown that we are ... -
Body weight distortions in an auditory-driven body illusion in subclinical and clinical eating disorders.
(2022-11-21)Previous studies suggest a stronger influence of visual signals on body image in individuals with eating disorders (EDs) than healthy controls; however, the influence of other exteroceptive sensory signals remains unclear. ... -
Dopamine enhances model-free credit assignment through boosting of retrospective model-based inference.
(eLife, 2021-12-09)Dopamine is implicated in representing model-free (MF) reward prediction errors a as well as influencing model-based (MB) credit assignment and choice. Putative cooperative interactions between MB and MF systems include a ... -
Efficiency and prioritization of inference-based credit assignment.
(Elsevier, 2021-07-12)Organisms adapt to their environments by learning to approach states that predict rewards and avoid states associated with punishments. Knowledge about the affective value of states often relies on credit assignment (CA), ... -
ERP markers are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes in 1-5 month old infants in rural Africa and the UK.
(2020-04-15)INTRODUCTION: Infants and children in low- and middle-income countries are frequently exposed to a range of poverty-related risk factors, increasing their likelihood of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is a need for ... -
Exploration heuristics decrease during youth.
(Springer Nature, 2022-10)Deciding between exploring new avenues and exploiting known choices is central to learning, and this exploration-exploitation trade-off changes during development. Exploration is not a unitary concept, and humans deploy ... -
Exploring three levels of interoception in people with functional motor disorders.
(2021-05)INTRODUCTION: A three-level model of interoception has recently been defined. We aim to study the interoceptive processing in individuals with functional motor disorder (FMD). METHODS: Twenty-two patients with FMD were ... -
Eye-movement strategies in developmental prosopagnosia and "super" face recognition.
(2017-02)Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a severe deficit in face recognition. Few investigations have examined whether impairments at the early stages of processing may underpin the ... -
Forgetting emotional material in working memory
(Oxford University Press, 2017-12-20)Proactive interference (PI) is the tendency for information learned earlier to interfere with more recently learned information. In the present study, we induced PI by presenting items from the same category over several ... -
Harm and Addiction Perceptions of the JUUL E-Cigarette Among Adolescents.
(2020-04-21)INTRODUCTION: This study assessed adolescents' harm and addiction perceptions of the highest-selling brand-JUUL-of the most commonly used tobacco product-electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes)-among adolescents in the United ... -
The hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex jointly represent task structure during memory-guided decision making
(Cell Press, 2021-11-30)The hippocampus, well known for its role in episodic memory, might also be an important brain region for extracting structure from our experiences in order to guide future decisions. Recent evidence in rodents suggests ... -
Human complex exploration strategies are enriched by noradrenaline-modulated heuristics.
(eLife, 2021-01-04)An exploration-exploitation trade-off, the arbitration between sampling a lesser-known against a known rich option, is thought to be solved using computationally demanding exploration algorithms. Given known limitations ... -
Humans represent the precision and utility of information acquired across fixations.
(2022-02-14)Our environment contains an abundance of objects which humans interact with daily, gathering visual information using sequences of eye-movements to choose which object is best-suited for a particular task. This process is ... -
An in-depth cognitive examination of individuals with superior face recognition skills.
(2016-09)Previous work has reported the existence of "super-recognisers" (SRs), or individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. However, the precise underpinnings of this ability have not yet been investigated. In this ... -
Mapping the differential impact of spontaneous and conversational laughter on brain and mind: an fMRI study in autism.
(Oxford University Press, 2024-05-16)Spontaneous and conversational laughter are important socio-emotional communicative signals. Neuroimaging findings suggest that non-autistic people engage in mentalizing to understand the meaning behind conversational ... -
Mother's and children's ADHD genetic risk, household chaos and children's ADHD symptoms: A gene-environment correlation study.
(2022-10)BACKGROUND: Chaotic home environments may contribute to children's attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. However, ADHD genetic risk may also influence household chaos. This study investigated whether ... -
The movement advantage in famous and unfamiliar faces: a comparison of point-light displays and shape-normalised avatar stimuli.
(2013)Facial movement may provide cues to identity, by supporting the extraction of face shape information via structure-from-motion, or via characteristic patterns of movement. Currently, it is unclear whether familiar and ... -
Movement cues aid face recognition in developmental prosopagnosia.
(2015-11)OBJECTIVE: Seeing a face in motion can improve face recognition in the general population, and studies of face matching indicate that people with face recognition difficulties (developmental prosopagnosia; DP) may be able ...
