Goal-driven selective attention in patients with right hemisphere lesions: How intact is the ipsilesional field?
(Brain, 2006)Patients with right hemisphere (RH) lesions often display a spatial bias in attention towards the ipsilesional hemifield. The behavioural manifestations of this spatial bias are typically interpreted as reflecting increased ... -

Haptic Shape Processing in Visual Cortex
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2014)Humans typically rely upon vision to identify object shape, but we can also recognize shape via touch (haptics). Our haptic shape recognition ability raises an intriguing question: To what extent do visual cortical shape ... -

Hits and Misses: Leveraging tDCS to Advance Cognitive Research
(2014)The popularity of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in basic, commercial, and applied settings grew tremendously over the last decade. Here, we focus on one popular neurostimulation method: transcranial direct ... -

How reliable are the effects of self-control training?: A re-examination using self-report and physical measures
(2017)In light of recent challenges to the strength model of self-control, our study re-examines the effects of self-control training on established physical and self-report measures of self-control. We also examined whether ... -

Induced and Evoked Human Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Working Memory Set-Size Effects at Encoding
(2016)The ability to encode, store, and retrieve visually presented objects is referred to as visual working memory (VWM). Although crucial for many cognitive processes, previous research reveals that VWM strictly capacity ... -

Insights from neuropsychology: pinpointing the role of the posterior parietal cortex in episodic and working memory
(2012)The role of posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in various forms of memory is a current topic of interest in the broader field of cognitive neuroscience. This large cortical region has been linked with a wide range of mnemonic ... -

Insufficient compensation for self-motion during perception of object speed: The vestibular Aubert-Fleischl phenomenon
(2018)To estimate object speed with respect to the self, retinal signals must be summed with extraretinal signals that encode the speed of eye and head movement. Prior work has shown that differences in perceptual estimates of ... -

Inter-element orientation and distance influence the duration of persistent contour integration
(2014)Contour integration is a fundamental form of perceptual organization. We introduce a new method of studying the mechanisms responsible for contour integration. This method capitalizes on the perceptual persistence of ... -
