Age-related task sensitivity of frontal EEG entropy during encoding predicts retrieval
(Springer, 2013)Age-related declines in memory may be due in part to changes in the complexity of neural activity in the aging brain. Electrophysiological entropy provides an accessible measure of the complexity of ongoing neural activity. ... -
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 ... -
Cognitive impairment in patients with chronic neuropathic or radicular pain: An interaction of pain and age
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06-13)A growing body of empirical research has confirmed an association between chronic pain and cognitive dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine whether cognitive function is affected in patients with a ... -
Divided attention in older but not younger adults is impaired by anxiety
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)It has been hypothesized that the disruptive effects of negative emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, may contribute to poorer performance in older age. Some studies have reported that higher levels of anxiety ... -
Edge-AI: Rise of the neural accelerators
(EMAI 2019 Emerging Memory and Artificial Intelligence Workshop, 2019-08-29)We are at the cusp of a new era in AI. Recently deep learning has revolutionised the field of Computer Vision, disrupting more traditional algorithmic approaches to object recognition, scene analysis and image understanding. ... -
The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research.
(2011)Cognitive impairment is commonly associated with the pain experience. This impairment represents a major obstacle to daily activities and rehabilitation, especially in the chronic pain population. Here we review clinical ... -
Electrophysiological entropy in younger adults, older controls and older cognitively declined adults.
(Elsevier, 2012-03-22)The current study examined electrophysiological entropy in younger adults, older adults, and older cognitively declined adults across four experimental conditions - eyes closed, eyes open, and during both encoding and ... -
The Evaluation of Argument Mapping as a Learning Tool
(2011-10-07)Argument mapping (AM) is a method of visually diagramming arguments using a 'box and arrow' format with the aim of simplifying the reading of an argument structure and facilitating the assimilation of core statements and ... -
The farm as an educative tool in the development of place attachments among Irish farm youth
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04-05)This paper focuses on the educative role of the farm in the development of relationships between young people and the homeplace they grew up on. The paper is based on qualitative interviews with a cohort of 30 Irish ... -
Historical duty, palimpsestic time, and migration in the Decade of Centenaries
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-11-23)This article analyses Sonya Kelly’s How to Keep an Alien (Dublin Tiger Fringe, 2014) and ANU Production’s Vardo (Dublin Theatre Festival, 2014) in relationship to the performative backdrop of the Irish Decade of Centenaries ... -
'I'm not going to be able to leave'; The impact of belonging to the Irish farming community on university students' life experiences and transitions to adulthood
(2014-02-10)Despite extensive research into family farming culture little attention has been paid to young people raised in this community who do not become full-time farmers. This thesis explores the childhood experiences of university ... -

Validating an Irish-language version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test - Second Edition
(Ingenta Connect, 2014-04)This study translates and assesses the psychometric properties of an Irish-language version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test - Second Edition (Wilson et al 2003), a screening measure for memory impairment in adults. -
Validation of an air-puff passive-avoidance paradigm for assessment of aversive learning and memory in rat models of chronic pain
(2012)Chronic pain is associated with cognitive deficits. Considerable overlap in brain regions involved in pain and aversion suggests that aversive learning and memory may be affected during chronic pain. Passive-avoidance ... -
