Atypical behavioural effects of lorazepam: Clues to the design of novel therapies?
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
Aside from their pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. their speed of action and the duration of residual effects, benzodiazepines are still considered as equivalent in terms of their effects on cognition. Here we review evidence ...
Process timing and its relation to the coding of tonal harmony.
(American Psychological Association, 2010)
Advances in auditory research suggest that gamma-band synchronization of frequency-specific cortical loci could be responsible for the integration of pure tones (harmonics) into harmonic complex tones. Thus far, evidence ...
Structural imbalance and aesthetic preference in domestic chicks
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
In Arnheim¿s (1954/1974) theory of structural balance, an image is more aesthetically pleasing when it demonstrates balance between multiple internal sources of directed perceptual force. Areas of balance and preferred ...
Electrophysiological correlates of flicker-induced form hallucinations
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
Form hallucinations can be reliably induced using temporally modulated light within a specific frequency range (15-30Hz). The neural substrates of such states have yet to be established with certainty. Brain activity of 5 ...
Temporal structure and inner psychophysics: A glimpse of equilibrium?
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2010-10)
It has been suggested that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies at fast frequencies in the range 20 - 80 Hz (the ¿gamma¿ band) is instrumental for binding the separate feature-elements of a figure ...

mHealth Research Group NUI Galway: Using mobile technologies for effective health behaviour change
(European Health Psychology Society, 2015)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Morningside Math Facts Curriculum on Fluency, Stability, Endurance and Application Outcomes
(Springer, 2015-05-23)
A randomized controlled trial was used to evaluate the impact of a frequency-building curriculum to increase the fluency of component mathematics skills in a sample of 28 males aged 9¿11 years. Assessments of mathematical ...
Blame the patient, blame the doctor or blame the system? A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies of patient safety in primary care
(Public Library of Science, 2015-08-05)
ObjectiveStudies of patient safety in health care have traditionally focused on hospital medicine. However, recent years have seen more research located in primary care settings which have different features compared to ...
