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.

An exploration of the integration of speech with co-speech gesture with non-invasive brain stimulation (2017)
Thesis
Zhao, W. (2017). An exploration of the integration of speech with co-speech gesture with non-invasive brain stimulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220574

The current PhD project focuses on the integration of gesture with their co-occurring speech with the use of non-invasive brain stimulation. The project investigated ‘where’ and ‘when’ gesture-speech integration takes place. Building on the paradigm...

Exploring the process of itch and its dimensionality : investigations using transcranial magnetic stimulation (2016)
Thesis
Jones, O. H. (2016). Exploring the process of itch and its dimensionality : investigations using transcranial magnetic stimulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219657

This thesis explored three main areas of acute itch: firstly, how to reliably measure it; secondly, whether it is of a multi-dimensional nature, and lastly, which brain regions are crucial in the process. Chapter 2 reports an experiment that directly... Read More about Exploring the process of itch and its dimensionality : investigations using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Anatomical and behavioural correlates of emotion-induced social decision-making (2015)
Thesis
Eimontaite, I. (2015). Anatomical and behavioural correlates of emotion-induced social decision-making. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223789

2 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.

Cognitive and anatomical correlates of neglect for peripersonal and extrapersonal space (2008)
Thesis
Aimola, L. (2008). Cognitive and anatomical correlates of neglect for peripersonal and extrapersonal space. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from 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...
