Journal Article
Pownall, M., Pennington, C. R., Norris, E., Juanchich, M., Smailes, D., Russell, S., …Clark, K. (2023). Evaluating the pedagogical effectiveness of study preregistration in the undergraduate dissertation. Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 6(4), 1-21. https://doi.org/10.1177/25152459231202724

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...

No evidence that prefrontal HD-tDCS influences cue-induced food craving (2020)
Journal Article
Sedgmond, J., Chambers, C. D., Lawrence, N. S., & Adams, R. C. (2020). No evidence that prefrontal HD-tDCS influences cue-induced food craving. Behavioral Neuroscience, 134(5), 369-383. https://doi.org/10.1037/bne0000345

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
Allen, C., Viola, T., Irvine, E., Sedgmond, J., Castle, H., Gray, R., & Chambers, C. D. (2020). Causal manipulation of feed-forward and recurrent processing differentially affects measures of consciousness. Neuroscience of Consciousness, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/NC/NIAA015

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 (...

Prefrontal brain stimulation during food-related inhibition training: Effects on food craving, food consumption and inhibitory control (2019)
Journal Article
Sedgmond, J., Lawrence, N. S., Verbruggen, F., Morrison, S., Chambers, C. D., & Adams, R. C. (2019). Prefrontal brain stimulation during food-related inhibition training: Effects on food craving, food consumption and inhibitory control. Royal Society Open Science, 6(1), 181186. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.181186

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...
