    • Stimulation of glia reveals modulation of mammalian spinal motor networks by adenosine 

      Acton, David; Miles, Gareth B. (2015-08-07) - Journal article
      Despite considerable evidence that glia can release modulators to influence the excitability of neighbouring neurons, the importance of gliotransmission for the operation of neural networks and in shaping behaviour remains ...

    • The goal trumps the means : highlighting goals is more beneficial than highlighting means in means-end training 

      Gerson, Sarah; Woodward, Amanda (2013-04) - Journal article
      Means-end actions are an early-emerging form of problem solving. These actions require initiating initial behaviors with a goal in mind. In this study, we explored the origins of 8-month-old infants’ means-end action ...

    • A genetic algorithm for face fitting 

      Hunter, David William; Tiddeman, Bernard Paul; Perrett, David Ian (2012-02) - Conference paper
      Accurate estimation of the shape of human faces has many applications from computer-imaging to psychological research. One well known method is to fit a Three Dimensional Morphable Model to a target image. This method is ...

    • Perceptual integration across natural monocular regions 

      Zeiner, Katharina Maria; Spitschan, Manuel; Harris, Julie (2014-03-05) - Journal article
      Natural scenes contain hidden regions, or occlusions, that differ in the two eyes, resulting in monocular regions that can only be seen by one eye. Such monocular regions appear to not be suppressed but seem to be integrated ...

    • Characterizing Visual Attention during Driving and Non-driving Hazard Perception Tasks 

      MacKenzie, Andrew Kerr; Harris, Julie (ACM siggraph, 2014-03-26) - Conference item
      Research into driving skill, particularly of hazard perception, often involves studies where participants either view pictures of driving scenarios or use movie viewing paradigms. However oculomotor strategies tend to ...
