Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Birch-Hurst, K., Jones, A. M., Ong, A., Stoker, K. M., Smith, M. L., Zhang, W., & Clark, K. (2023, August). Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences. Poster presented at European Conference on Visual Perception, Paphos, Cyprus

Accuracy in visual search – the process of detecting a target amongst distractors – is critical for life-saving career searches such as radiology and airport security. These searches often contain multiple targets (e.g., a tumour and a fracture) and... Read More about Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences.

Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2022)
Journal Article
Clark, K., Birch-Hurst, K., Pennington, C. R., Petrie, A. C. P., Lee, J. T., & Hedge, C. (2022). Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science. Journal of Vision, 22(8), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.22.8.18

Research in perception and attention has typically sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Recently, there has been a shift toward appreciating the value of individual differences and the insight g... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

Altering facial movements abolishes neural mirroring of facial expressions (2021)
Journal Article
Birch-Hurst, K., Rychlowska, M., Lewis, M. B., & Vanderwert, R. E. (2022). Altering facial movements abolishes neural mirroring of facial expressions. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 22, 316–327. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13415-021-00956-z

People tend to automatically imitate others’ facial expressions of emotion. That reaction, termed “facial mimicry” has been linked to sensorimotor simulation—a process in which the observer’s brain recreates and mirrors the emotional experience of th...

Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Birch-Hurst, K., Petrie, A. C. P., Archer, L., Stephenson, A. C., & Clark, K. (2021, May). Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players. Poster presented at Vision Sciences Society, Online

Individuals who play action video games have demonstrated faster response times on a range of cognitive tasks, but various changes across the chain of processing could contribute to the ultimate quickening in response. Some research has begun to iden... Read More about Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players.
