Evaluating the pedagogical effectiveness of study preregistration in the undergraduate dissertation (2023)
Journal Article

Research shows that questionable research practices (QRPs) are present in undergraduate final-year dissertation projects. One entry-level Open Science practice proposed to mitigate QRPs is “study preregistration,” through which researchers outline th...

Modifying automatic responses to food cues using cognitive control training and brain stimulation (2021)
Thesis

This thesis set out to investigate the potential role of brain stimulation and behavioural training paradigms in modifying automatic responses to food cues. A brief summary of the design and key findings of each chapter is detailed below. In Chapter...

No evidence that prefrontal HD-tDCS influences cue-induced food craving (2020)
Journal Article

This study investigated whether the application of high definition transcranial DC stimulation (HDtDCS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reduces cue-induced food craving when combined with food-specific inhibitory control training. Using a withi... Read More about No evidence that prefrontal HD-tDCS influences cue-induced food craving.

Causal manipulation of feed-forward and recurrent processing differentially affects measures of consciousness (2020)
Journal Article

It has been theorized that cortical feed-forward and recurrent neural activity support unconscious and conscious cognitive processes, respectively. Here we causally tested this proposition by applying event-related transcranial magnetic stimulation (...

Food addiction: Implications for the diagnosis and treatment of overeating (2019)
Journal Article

With the obesity epidemic being largely attributed to overeating, much research has been aimed at understanding the psychological causes of overeating and using this knowledge to develop targeted interventions. Here, we review this literature under a... Read More about Food addiction: Implications for the diagnosis and treatment of overeating.

Prefrontal brain stimulation during food-related inhibition training: Effects on food craving, food consumption and inhibitory control (2019)
Journal Article

Modulation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) activity using non-invasive brain stimulation has been shown to reduce food craving as well as food consumption. Using a preregistered design, we examined whether bilateral transcranial direct curr...

Brain matters... in social sciences (2016)
Journal Article

Here we offer a general introduction to cognitive neuroscience and provide examples relevant to psychology, healthcare and bioethics, law and criminology, information studies, of how brain studies have influenced, are influencing or show the potentia...
