Dynamic modeling of EEG responses to natural speech reveals earlier processing of predictable words Open

Jin Dou, Andrew J. Anderson, Aaron Steven White, Sam V. Norman-Haignere, Edmund C. Lalor · 2025

In recent years, it has become clear that EEG indexes the comprehension of natural, narrative speech. One particularly compelling demonstration of this fact can be seen by regressing EEG responses to speech against measures of how individu…

Andrew J. Anderson, Damien J. Mannion, Maria del Mar Quiroga, Edoardo Tescari · 2024

Analyzing reaction time distributions provides a powerful tool for investigating decision-making processes. Here we describe an open-source toolbox to allow the Linear Approach to Threshold with Ergodic Rate (LATER) model, the simplest pri…

The effect of caricaturing on the esthetic appeal of familiar faces, and its relation to simple proportion judgments Open

Andrew J. Anderson, Margaret S. Livingstone · 2024

It has been suggested that caricaturing enhances esthetic appeal, by making an image more strongly stimulate those areas of the brain encoding the subject's distinctive features than does the subject itself. However, some experimental work…

Does vision therapy for visual information processing improve academic performance? A randomised clinical trial Open

Tim Fricke, Andrew Metha, Dianne P. Anderson, Amanda K. Lea, Andrew J. Anderson · 2023

Purpose To determine whether a typical vision therapy (VT) programme designed to improve visual information processing (VIP) skills is effective in improving these skills and/or academic performance. Methods We used a double‐blind, randomi…

Is critical flicker‐fusion frequency a valid measure of visual fatigue? A post‐hoc analysis of a double‐masked randomised controlled trial Open

Sumeer Singh, Laura E. Downie, Andrew J. Anderson · 2022

Purpose Critical flicker‐fusion frequency (CFF) has been used in clinical studies as a measure of visual fatigue. We examine the correlation between CFF and subjective reports of visual fatigue in a group of symptomatic computer users, to …

The Effects of Glare on the Perception of Visual Motion as a Function of Age Open

Juan A. Sepulveda, Joanne M. Wood, Andrew J. Anderson, Allison M. McKendrick · 2022

A glare source that simulated the effect of oncoming headlights, did not impact motion perception measures relevant to driving.

Investigating the discrepancy between MAIA and MP‐1 microperimetry results Open

Lixing Xu, Zhichao Wu, Robyn H. Guymer, Andrew J. Anderson · 2021

Purpose Previous work has suggested that sensitivities measured on the iCare MAIA and Nidek MP‐1 microperimeters differ systematically, although it is unclear whether one or both devices are inaccurate. Here, we assess the discrepancy betw…

Motion perception at mesopic light levels: effects of physiological ageing and eccentricity Open

Juan A. Sepulveda, Andrew J. Anderson, Joanne M. Wood, Allison M. McKendrick · 2021

Purpose To explore the differential effects of age and eccentricity on the perception of motion at photopic and mesopic light levels. Methods Thirty‐six visually normal participants (18 younger; mean age 25 years, range: 20–31) and (18 old…

Differential aging effects in motion perception tasks for central and peripheral vision Open

Juan A. Sepulveda, Andrew J. Anderson, Joanne M. Wood, Allison M. McKendrick · 2020

The perception of motion is considered critical for performing everyday tasks, such as locomotion and driving, and relies on different levels of visual processing. However, it is unclear whether healthy aging differentially affects motion …

Dissociable electrophysiological measures of natural language processing reveal differences in speech comprehension strategy in healthy ageing Open

Michael P. Broderick, Giovanni M. Di Liberto, Andrew J. Anderson, Adrià Rofes, Edmund C. Lalor · 2020

Healthy ageing leads to changes in the brain that impact upon sensory and cognitive processing. It is not fully clear how these changes affect the processing of everyday spoken language. Prediction is thought to play an important role in l…

Does the visual system's perceptual stabilization of small eye movements affect visual performance? Open

Adela Park, Andrew Metha, Phillip Bedggood, Andrew J. Anderson · 2018

Even when we stare intently at an object, our eyes constantly make small, involuntary eye movements. However, the incessant motion of the retina that arises goes unnoticed due to perceptual stabilization mechanisms. It remains largely unex…

Do Intense Perimetric Stimuli Saturate the Healthy Visual System? Open

Andrew J. Anderson, Allison M. McKendrick, Andrew Turpin · 2016

Observers can reliably discriminate between two different, but both very intense, perimetric stimuli, indicating that responses of the human visual system are not saturated by such stimuli. Therefore, the cause of high perimetric test-rete…

Significant Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression in the First Two Years: What Does It Mean? Open

Andrew J. Anderson · 2016

Statistically significant visual field progression in a short period after diagnosis may not necessarily indicate the presence of rapid progression, and so confirmatory signs of rapid progression should be sought before implementing treatm…
