Negative body image and cognitive biases to body size (2018)
Thesis
Szostak, N. M. (2018). Negative body image and cognitive biases to body size. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220455

This thesis explored the relationship between cognitive biases to body size and one’s developed levels of body image concerns and weight status. Women with higher body image concerns were hypothesised to process body-related information in a biased f... Read More about Negative body image and cognitive biases to body size.

The neural correlates of categorizing rotated objects (2017)
Thesis
Miles, K. (2017). The neural correlates of categorizing rotated objects. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220872

The effects of categorizing rotated objects on the neural correlates of the N400 was investigated using a word-picture match task. The level of categorization was manipulated by presenting a basic or subordinate word prior to an image displayed at on... Read More about The neural correlates of categorizing rotated objects.

How slow can you go? : the joint effects of action preparation and emotion on the perception of time (2017)
Thesis
Lupton, M. J. (2017). How slow can you go? : the joint effects of action preparation and emotion on the perception of time. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219664

People are often found to temporally overestimate the duration of emotionally salient stimuli relative to neutral stimuli. To date there has been no investigation into the behavioural consequences of such an effect or whether such an effect can be e...

The relationship between individual differences and human territoriality, within a simulated environment (2017)
Thesis
Parkin, L. D. (2017). The relationship between individual differences and human territoriality, within a simulated environment. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221241

Territoriality is defined as the acquisition of land or resources, such as food or mates, and securing these resources from actual or perceived threat. Many animals show differences in the expression of territoriality based on sex and personality dif...

The role of temporal synchrony as a binding cue for visual persistence in early visual areas: An fMRI study (2009)
Journal Article
Wong, Y. J., Aldcroft, A. J., Large, M., Culham, J. C., & Vilis, T. (2009). The role of temporal synchrony as a binding cue for visual persistence in early visual areas: An fMRI study. Journal of Neurophysiology, 102(6), 3461-3468. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00243.2009

We examined the role of temporal synchrony - the simultaneous appearance of visual features - in the perceptual and neural processes underlying object persistence. When a binding cue (such as color or motion) momentarily exposes an object from a back...

Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M., Chang, E. C., Chouinard, P. A., & Goodale, M. A. (2009). Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion. NeuroImage, 44(1), 200-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.08.023

In size-weight (SW) illusions, people learn to scale their fingertip forces for lifting small and big objects of equal weight even though they fail to learn perceptually that both objects have the same weight. The question then arises as to what the...

fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M., Aldcroft, A., Culham, J., Kuchinad, A., & Vilis, T. (2008). fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex. The European journal of neuroscience, 27(12), 3299-3309. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06270.x

Early visual areas within each hemisphere (V1, V2, V3/VP, V4v) contain distinct representations of the upper and lower quadrants of the contralateral hemifield. As receptive field size increases, the retinotopy in higher-tier visual areas becomes pro...

The neural correlates of change detection in the face perception network (2008)
Journal Article

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 - namely the fusi...
