Industrial Schools and identification: Revisiting the total institution
(2011)
In this paper, I revisit a forgotten empirical site, Ireland's industrial schools. Thousands of children lived and worked in these organizations from an early age until adulthood. They were hidden from mainstream Irish ...
Modeling as part of perception: a hypothesis on the function of neural oscillations
(Pabst Science Publishers, 2001)
We argue that the effectiveness of synchronization of oscillatory neural activities coding
simple features, as it relates to perceptual organization, may originate in the temporal
characteristics of resonance that develops ...
The visual hallucinatory response to flickering polychromatic light.
(The International Society for Psychophysics, 2004)
Our understanding of human visual perception generally rests on the assumption that conscious visual states represent, in some qualitative fashion, a complex interaction between spatially structured variations in the ambient ...
Evidence for impaired integration-segmentation processes and slowed synchrony coding in dyslexics
(Pabst Science Publishers, 2001)
Using a primed figure-detection task we were able to reveal the existence of two distinct groups of dyslexics. One group is characterized by a significant impairment of visual integration-segmentation processes, resulting ...
Fechner's colors are induced by flickering monochromatic light
(Pabst Science Publishers, 2001)
Fechner described the phenomenon of inducing illusory colors by means of rotating blackand-
white disks. The induced spectral illusions were later termed "Fechner's colors". Similar
color perceptions can be induced by ...

Challenging conventions towards energy sufficiency: ruptures in laundry and heating routines in Europe
(eceee Summer Study, 2019-06-03)
This contribution proposes to address a central question in social science approaches to household energy studies: how do conventions around energy services evolve, how do they alter over time, and how can they be changed ...
Impact of prosodic training on Italian as L2 by Hiberno-English speakers: the case of polar questions
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-06-13)
This paper aims at investigating the efficacy of a perceptionproduction training on the production of Italian-L2 yes/no
questions by Hiberno-English learners. Our hypotheses are
that an intensive prosodic training improves ...
A phonetic comparison of two Irish English varieties
(International Society of Experimental Linguistics, 2020-10-12)
This research offers a preliminary survey on vowels and diphthong variation between
two Irish English varieties: Galway (GW) and Letterkenny (LK). The results showed
only a smaller difference between GW and LK with respect ...
Investigating the effect of scientist demonstrators on primary children's science self-efficacy
(International Conference New perspectives in Science Education, Edition 7, 2018-03-22)
Emergent in the literature is the need to increase levels of student engagement in science, with
informal science education (ISE) playing a fundamental role. Whilst children find science to be
interesting and important ...
