A.2 Cognitive outcomes of deep brain stimulation depend upon subiculum connectivity Open
Background: Recent research has demonstrated that DBS sites in Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s (PD) influencing cognition are functionally connected to the subiculum. However, the results are mixed, and it is unclear how or if DBS site-su…

The relation between the capacities of imagination and visual memory in the short-term Open
Visual imagery and short-term memory utilise similar brain networks, but the extent to which they are related remains unclear. Here we explore whether the capacity of visual imagery (as yet unknown) is similar to the known capacity limits …

Peak occipital alpha frequency mediates the relationship between sporting expertise and multiple object tracking performance Open
Background Multiple object tracking (MOT) is often used as a lab‐based paradigm for investigating goal‐driven attention as an indicator for “real‐world” attention in tasks such as sport. When exploring MOT performance in the context of spo…

Intense classification training to increase the detection of drowning swimmers Open
Lifeguards engage in a continuous process of deciding whether swimmers are in danger or not. The variety of behaviours that distressed swimmers show makes it difficult to impart declarative knowledge to this effect during lifeguard trainin…

Psychological trauma, mood and social isolation do not explain elevated dissociation in functional neurological disorder (FND) Open
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) results in altered motor, sensory and cognitive function in the absence of evident organic disease. It often co-occurs alongside dissociative disorders and dissociation has been found to be high in pa…

Although the Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) task is a widely used experimental method for studying divided attention, tracking objects in the real world usually looks different. For example, in the real world, objects are usually clearly d…

Visual search for drowning swimmers: Investigating the impact of lifeguarding experience Open
Summary How does domain expertise influence dynamic visual search? Previous studies of visual search often use abstract search arrays that are devoid of applied context, with comparatively few studies exploring applied naturalistic and dyn…

Tracking objects in 1/f noise and plain backgrounds Open
Past research has shown that people can reliably track several moving objects among distractors. Although laboratory studies typically use clearly visible objects and a uniform background, this is rarely the case for tracking in real life.…

Audio-visual integration in noise: Influence of auditory and visual stimulus degradation on eye movements and perception of the McGurk effect Open
Seeing a talker’s face can aid audiovisual (AV) integration when speech is presented in noise. However, few studies have simultaneously manipulated auditory and visual degradation. We aimed to establish how degrading the auditory and visua…

View article: Engagement of the motor system in position monitoring: Reduced distractor suppression and effects of internal representation quality on motor kinematics
Engagement of the motor system in position monitoring: Reduced distractor suppression and effects of internal representation quality on motor kinematics Open
The position monitoring task is a measure of divided spatial attention in which participants track the changing positions of one or more objects, attempting to represent positions with as much precision as possible. Typically precision of …

Individual differences in position tracking are related to peak occipital alpha frequency Open
Although position tracking has been well studied, its underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Individual differences in temporal and spatial aspects of position tracking can be exploited to elucidate such mechani…

Non-independence of spatial memory and position tracking Open
There is a continuing debate around the role of serial processes in multiple object tracking (MOT), with some suggesting that spatial information is updated serially (Oksama & Hyönä, 2008). Spatial memory is a necessary component of serial…

Aging and the rate of visual information processing Open
Multiple methods exist for measuring how age influences the rate of visual information processing. The most advanced methods model the processing dynamics in a task in order to estimate processing rates independently of other factors that …

Neural Mechanisms of Temporal Resolution of Attention Open
The dynamic nature of the world requires that our visual representations are continuously updated. These representations are more precise if there is a narrow time window over which information is averaged. We assess the neural processes o…
