Alpha oscillations and stimulus-evoked activity dissociate metacognitive reports of attention, visibility, and confidence in a rapid visual detection task (2022)
Journal Article
Davidson, M. J., Macdonald, J. S. P., & Yeung, N. (2022). Alpha oscillations and stimulus-evoked activity dissociate metacognitive reports of attention, visibility, and confidence in a rapid visual detection task. Journal of Vision, 22(10), 20. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.22.10.20

Variability in the detection and discrimination of weak visual stimuli has been linked to oscillatory neural activity. In particular, the amplitude of activity in the alpha-band (8–12 Hz) has been shown to impact the objective likelihood of stimulus...

Time contracts and temporal precision declines when the mind wanders (2017)
Journal Article
Terhune, D., Croucher, M., Marcusson-Clavertz, D., & Macdonald, J. (2017). Time contracts and temporal precision declines when the mind wanders. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 43(11), 1864-1871. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000461

© 2017 American Psychological Association. Our perception of time varies considerably from moment to moment, but how this variability relates to endogenous fluctuations in attentional states has been neglected. Here, we tested the hypothesis that per... Read More about Time contracts and temporal precision declines when the mind wanders.

Students’ perceptions of BIM education in the higher education sector: A UK and US perspective (2017)
Journal Article
Shelbourn, M., Macdonald, J., McCuen, T., & Lee, S. (2017). Students’ perceptions of BIM education in the higher education sector: A UK and US perspective. Industry and Higher Education, 31(5), 293-304. https://doi.org/10.1177/0950422217725962

© The Author(s) 2017. The use of building information modelling (BIM) has increased in the global architecture, engineering, construction and owner-operated (AECO) industries. This increased use has contributed to a recognition by project stakeholder... Read More about Students’ perceptions of BIM education in the higher education sector: A UK and US perspective.

Attentional sampling of multiple wagon wheels (2013)
Journal Article
Macdonald, J. S., Macdonald, J. S. P., Cavanagh, P., & VanRullen, R. (2014). Attentional sampling of multiple wagon wheels. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 76(1), 64-72. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-013-0555-5

Attending to a periodic motion stimulus can induce illusory reversals of the direction of motion. This continuous wagon wheel illusion (c-WWI) has been taken to reflect discrete sampling of motion information by visual attention. An alternative view...
