Cerebral Lateralisation for Emotion Processing of Chimeric Faces in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Many studies have suggested that typical lateralisation for emotion processing tasks, such as facial emotion recognition, is lateralised to the right-hemisphere, with different emotions eliciting differing strengths of lateralisation (Bourne, 2010).…
Comparison of Ethical Decision-Making in Emergency Service Workers and Laypeople
The Trolley Problem is a theoretical ethical dilemma in which it is asked whether it is morally acceptable to actively kill one person to save five (Thomson, 1976). Emergency service workers (ESW) are often presented with ethical dilemmas, such as…
Contrast polarity of a stimulus does not affect the cueing effect
According to the contrast polarity effect, people’s attention is sensitive to dark objects within light backgrounds. According to the gaze-cueing effect, a human gaze shift attracts people’s attention towards the direction of the darker region of…
Cortical Hyper Excitability correlating with Visual Distortions and Hallucinations
The primary focus of our study concerned how abnormalities in visual experiences such as visual distortions or hallucinations result in increase in cortical hyper-excitability in the non-clinical population. Aberrant neural processes leads to…
Could eye movements provide a window into early signs of dementia? Investigating the relationship between eye movements and cognitive decline.
Past research has indicated a relationship between eye movement abilities and cognitive decline. Specifically, performances on the anti-saccade task and pro-saccade task have demonstrated a correlation with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) severity,…
Do foetuses have the ability to retrieve and retain information presented by both the mother-to-be and partner?
The complex phenomenon of language development is a vital criterion for communication and for the strengthening of the attachment bond between caregiver and baby (Chew & Ng, 2021). The period in which humans begin to process speech is difficult to…
Do trustworthiness judgements help people to recognise synthetic faces?
Recent advances in digital image generative models have allowed for artificial creation of fake imagery such as synthesising highly photorealistic human faces. Style-based Generative Adversarial Networks (StyleGAN) is one of the most state-of-the-art…
