Thesis
Thompson, T. It's all about perspective: an examination of spontaneous and implicit/explicit visual perspective-taking in Turner syndrome. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4706284

The ability to take another person’s perspective is a fundamental aspect of social cognition and an important contributor to social interaction. In this online research study, we explored potential differences in visual perspective-taking between adu...

Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Holle, H., Scandola, M., Schindler, I., Hill, L., & Cross, E. S. (2022). Human but not robotic gaze facilitates action prediction. iScience, 25(6), Article 104462. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.104462

Do people ascribe intentions to humanoid robots as they would to humans or non-human-like animated objects? In six experiments, we compared people's ability to extract non-mentalistic (i.e., where an agent is looking) and mentalistic (i.e., what an a...

Left amygdala and putamen activation modulate emotion driven decisions in the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma game (2019)
Journal Article
Eimontaite, I., Schindler, I., De Marco, M., Duzzi, D., Venneri, A., & Goel, V. (2019). Left amygdala and putamen activation modulate emotion driven decisions in the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma game. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 13(JUL), Article 741. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2019.00741

Although economic decision-making is commonly characterized as a purely rational phenomenon, it is clear that real-world decision-making is influenced by emotions. Yet, relatively little is known about the neural correlates of this process. To explor...

Language and action naturally occur together in the form of co-speech gestures and there is now convincing evidence that listeners display a strong tendency to integrate semantic information from both domains during comprehension. A contentious quest... Read More about Transcranial magnetic stimulation over left inferior frontal and posterior temporal cortex disrupts gesture-speech integration.

Negative body image and cognitive biases to body size (2018)
Thesis

Abstract This thesis explored the behavioural and neural processes associated with the effect of sympathy and anger on socio-economic decision-making. Experiment 1 showed the defection rate decrease in sympathy and increase in anger compared to th... Read More about Anatomical and behavioural correlates of emotion-induced social decision-making.

Differential modulation of performance in insight and divergent thinking tasks with tDCS (2015)
Journal Article

While both insight and divergent thinking tasks are used to study creativity, there are reasons to believe that the two may call upon very different mechanisms. To explore this hypothesis, we administered a verbal insight task (riddles) and a diverge... Read More about Differential modulation of performance in insight and divergent thinking tasks with tDCS.

Subliminal galvanic-vestibular stimulation influences ego- and object-centred components of visual neglect (2014)

Thesis
Aimola, L. Cognitive and anatomical correlates of neglect for peripersonal and extrapersonal space. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213065

Spatial neglect is a neurological disorder where patients typically fail to orient or respond to events on their left side. Moreover, recent studies suggest that the severity of neglect may depend specifically on whether stimuli are presented within...
