Exploring the ultrashort pulse laser parameter space for membrane permeabilisation in mammalian cells.
(2012) - Journal articleThe use of ultrashort femtosecond pulsed lasers to effect membrane permeabilisation and initiate both optoinjection and transfection of cells has recently seen immense interest. We investigate femtosecond laser-induced ... -
Interactions between luminance and colour signals : effects on shape
(2013-04-18) - Journal articleAlthough luminance and color are thought to be processed independently at early stages of visual processing, there is evidence that they interact at later stages. For example, chromatic information has been shown to enhance ... -
Female putty-nosed monkeys use experimentally altered contextual information to disambiguate the cause of male alarm calls
(2013-06-05) - Journal articleMany animal vocal signals are given in a wide range of contexts which can sometimes have little in common. Yet, to respond adaptively, listeners must find ways to identify the cause of a signal, or at least rule out ... -
Public information use in ninespine sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius) : isolating the mechanisms using computer-animated stimuli
(2012) - ThesisMany studies demonstrated the use, and strategies of use, of public information -or the ability of an observer to assess a resource’s quality by watching inadvertent behavioural cues- in the ninespine stickleback (Pungitius ... -
Learning to use illumination gradients as an unambiguous cue to three dimensional shape
(2012-04-30) - Journal articleThe luminance and colour gradients across an image are the result of complex interactions between object shape, material and illumination. Using such variations to infer object shape or surface colour is therefore a difficult ...
