Contributions of the PPC to online control of visually guided reaching movements assessed with fMRI-Guided TMS (2011)
Journal Article

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays an important role in controlling voluntary movements by continuously integrating sensory information about body state and the environment. We tested which subregions of the PPC contribute to the processing of...

Suburban solutions: The other side of the story (2011)
Journal Article

How much does urban form affect levels of active travel and transport carbon emissions? It is all too easy for policy-makers to jump to simple conclusions, but the answer is both complex and contested. Here Hugh Barton, Marcus Grant and Michael Horsw...

U-model-based adaptive control for a class of stochastic non-linear dynamic plants with unknown parameters (2011)
Journal Article

In this paper, an adaptive control algorithm within a U-model framework is developed for controlling a class of stochastic non-linear discrete-time models with unknown parameters. With the authors' previous justification, the control-oriented model n... Read More about U-model-based adaptive control for a class of stochastic non-linear dynamic plants with unknown parameters.

Parents, partners and peers: Bearing the hidden costs of lifelong learning (2011)
Journal Article

This paper examines data from three projects to explore the 'hidden costs' of participating in lifelong learning. Whilst other potential risks (financial for instance) are anticipated, those around family and friendship ties are usually not. Adult re...
