Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception (2008)
Journal Article
Tipples, J. (2008). Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception. Emotion, 8(1), 127-131. https://doi.org/10.1037/1528-3542.8.1.127

In this study I used a temporal bisection task to test if greater overestimation of time due to negative emotion is moderated by individual differences in negative emotionality. The effects of fearful facial expressions on time perception were also e... Read More about Negative emotionality influences the effects of emotion on time perception.

The fate of unseen faces: an fMRI investigation of awareness in the face perception network (2007)
Journal Article
Large, M. (2007). The fate of unseen faces: an fMRI investigation of awareness in the face perception network. Perception, 36(ECVP Abstract Supplement), 110 - 110

A common view is that visual processing within the ventral visual stream is modulated by attention and awareness. We used fMRI adaptation to investigate whether activation in a network of brain regions involved with face recognition--the fusiform fac...
