Interventions for cognitive frailty: developing a Delphi consensus with multidisciplinary and multisectoral experts Open
Introduction The conjunction of physical frailty and cognitive impairment without dementia is described as Cognitive Frailty (CF). Indications that CF is potentially reversible have led to proposals that risk factors, symptoms or mechanism…

“Distress is probably the wrong word”: exploring uncertainty and ambivalence in non-clinical voice-hearing and the psychosis continuum Open
These results indicate that much of the experience of NCVHs may be missed by clinical measures and concepts, suggesting a need to approach them in ways that go beyond typical understandings of the psychosis continuum.

A Scoping Review of the Effects of Ambient Air Quality on Cognitive Frailty Open
Environmental and public health research has given considerable attention to the impact of air quality on brain health, with systematic reviews being widespread. No literature review has been conducted for cognitive frailty—a multidimensio…

A Scoping Review of the Effects of Ambient Air Quality on Cognitive Frailty Open
(1) Background: Environmental and public health research has given considerable attention to the impact of air quality on brain health, with systematic reviews widespread. No literature review has been done for cognitive frailty – a multid…
Uncovering the social determinants of brain injury rehabilitation Open
Social determinants of health (SDH), such as social isolation and loneliness, are often more frequently experienced in brain injury survivors. The paper explores the personal experiences of loneliness among brain injury survivors during lo…
Investigations of Spatial Attention Open
This chapter will discuss the combined use of transcranial stimulation and visual psychophysics tasks such as visual search in the scientific investigation of human attention. Historically, the identification of the neural network involved…

Mitigating the impact of air pollution on dementia and brain health: Setting the policy agenda Open
Given the pressing issues of brain health, dementia and air pollution, setting a policy agenda is crucial. Policy needs to be matched by scientific evidence and appropriate guidelines, including bespoke strategies to optimise impact and mi…

The effects of induced optical blur on visual search performance and training Open
Visual search is a task often used in the rehabilitation of patients with cortical and non-cortical visual pathologies such as visual field loss. Reduced visual acuity is often comorbid with these disorders, and it remains poorly defined h…
Maximizing Telerehabilitation for Patients With Visual Loss After Stroke: Interview and Focus Group Study With Stroke Survivors, Carers, and Occupational Therapists Open
Background Visual field defects are a common consequence of stroke, and compensatory eye movement strategies have been identified as the most promising rehabilitation option. There has been a move toward compensatory telerehabilitation opt…
Maximizing Telerehabilitation for Patients With Visual Loss After Stroke: Interview and Focus Group Study With Stroke Survivors, Carers, and Occupational Therapists (Preprint) Open
BACKGROUND Visual field defects are a common consequence of stroke, and compensatory eye movement strategies have been identified as the most promising rehabilitation option. There has been a move toward compensatory telerehabilitation op…
Maximising telerehabilitation following visual loss after stroke: Interviews and focus groups with stroke survivors, carers and occupational therapists Open
This study details an iterative process of liaising with stroke survivors, carers, and health care professionals to identify barriers and facilitators to using rehabilitation tools, as well as elements of good practice in telerehabilitation
Real-world applications in vision and attention: How to help patients find their (golf) balls again Open
The loss of visual function is a common and debilitating effect of brain injury. Such effects include the inability to attend to the contralesional part of space (visual neglect) and loss of vision in part of the visual field in both eyes …
The Limitations of Reward Effects on Saccade Latencies: An Exploration of Task-Specificity and Strength Open
Saccadic eye movements are simple, visually guided actions. Operant conditioning of specific saccade directions can reduce the latency of eye movements in the conditioned direction. However, it is not clear to what extent this learning tra…
Investigating the roles of medial prefrontal and superior temporal cortex in source monitoring Open
Source monitoring, or the ability to recall the origin of information, is a crucial aspect of remembering past experience. One facet of this, reality monitoring, refers to the ability to distinguish between internally generated and externa…
Light social drinkers are more distracted by irrelevant information from an induced attentional bias than heavy social drinkers Open
It is well established that alcoholics and heavy social drinkers show a bias of attention towards alcohol-related items. Previous research suggests that there is a shared foundation of attentional bias, which is linked to attentional contr…
The Pain Divide: a cross-sectional analysis of chronic pain prevalence, pain intensity and opioid utilisation in England Open
Objectives Our central research question was, in England, are geographical inequalities in opioid use driven by health need (pain)? To answer this question, our study examined: (1) if there are regional inequalities in rates of chronic pai…
The Behavioral Effects of tDCS on Visual Search Performance Are Not Influenced by the Location of the Reference Electrode Open
We investigated the role of reference electrode placement (ipsilateral v contralateral frontal pole) on conjunction visual search task performance when the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) cathode is placed over right posteri…
Comparing the effect of temporal delay on the availability of egocentric and allocentric information in visual search Open
Frames of reference play a central role in perceiving an object's location and reaching to pick that object up. It is thought that the ventral stream, believed to subserve vision for perception, utilises allocentric coding, while the dorsa…
Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Auditory Verbal Hallucinations: New Techniques and Future Directions Open
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are the experience of hearing a voice in the absence of any speaker. Results from recent attempts to treat AVHs with neurostimulation (rTMS or tDCS) to the left temporoparietal junction have not been c…
