Abstract:

To interact with the environmet, it is crucial to have a clear space representation. Several findings have shown that the space around our body is split in several portions, which are differentially coded by the brain. Evidences of such subdivision have been reported by studies on people affected by neglect, on space near (peripersonal) and far (extrapersonal) to the body position and considering space around specific different portion of the body. Moreover, recent studies showed that sensory modalities are at the base of important cognitive skills. However, it is still unclear if each sensor

Abstract:

This work explores the role of animal personality differences in the interaction between sensing, behaviour and cognition. Typically, animal personality is characterised by patterns of consistency in levels of individual behaviour. In a study of the weakly-electric fish Gnathonemus petersii, otherwise consistent boldness levels are revealed as changeable when fish are in safer conditions. Interestingly, the changes were greater for timid than bold personalities, which implicates individual behavioural-plasticity levels in the expression of personality.

Abstract:

The impact of energy drinks and their ingredients on cognitive functioning has been of considerable scientific interest in recent years; however studies investigating cognitive effects of energy drink consumption have centred on the postprandial impact, that is the influence of their ingredients once absorbed into the blood. It is possible however, that sensory perception of these drinks, or their ingredients can influence cognition. The four studies outlined in this thesis aim to examine the influences of sensory perception of energy drinks in human volunteers and compare these with the effec

Do participants with external attribution styles outperform participants with internal explanatory styles in pressure-filled situations? Explicit-monitoring theory suggests that performance becomes impaired when conscious attention is devoted to performing a task normally carried out by automatic processes. Attributing potential failure to an external source (e.g., blaming a sudden gust of wind for a poor golf shot) can decrease the negative effects of stereotype threat, a social-psychological predicament known to engender feelings of stress similar to those experienced in pressure-filled situ

To increase fitness for survival, organisms not only passively react to environmental changes but also actively predict future events to prepare for potential hazards within their environment. Accumulating evidence indicates that the human brain is a remarkable predictive machine which constantly models causal relationships and predicts future events.

This framework has been showing notable explanatory power

For those engaged in trying to understand the cause of dyslexia, these are interesting times. There is increasing evidence that dyslexia may result from a deficit in the brain's ability to process general visual and auditory information, which may subsequently contribute to observed language difficulties.

Abstract:

The vestibular sensory apparatus and associated vestibular nuclei are generally thought to encode angular head velocity during our daily activities. However, in addition to direct inputs from vestibular afferents, the vestibular nuclei receive substantial projections from cortical, cerebellar, and other brainstem structures. Given this diversity of inputs we asked: how are the responses of vestibular nuclei neurons to head velocity modified by these additional inputs during naturally occurring behaviours? Here we have focused on three specific classes of neurons in the vestibular nuclei

Abstract:

How do different animals cope with the vast environmental complexity they face from birth or hatching? If animals’ genes have not provided the necessary information, then exploration is essential for gathering information and learning about the surrounding world. Much of cognition research to date has focussed on what the different abilities of different animal species are, rather than how they actually process information. This thesis has taken a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to tackle this problem from different angles: asking how the senses, environment and different behavioural st

Abstract:

Many everyday tasks, like asking for directions, require our attentional systems to combine the information coming from the senses with our current intentions. This intuitive notion suggests that combining attention might reflect a fundamentally novel way in which attention supports complex behavior and in turn affects perceptual processing of attended events. Using established paradigms we demonstrate for the first time that joint recruitment of multiple attentional systems leads to corresponding combined increases in behavior and sensory processing. This result not only provides a new concep

Abstract:

It is well-established that turning on the spot or changing the direction of walking involves a stereotyped sequence of eye, head and body segment rotation characterized by an anticipatory gaze strategy driven primarily by eye movements (nystagmus). However, the relationship between eye movements and whole-body coordination during turning has not been fully explored under different environmental and sensory contexts and as a result, the neural mechanisms responsible for this coordination are poorly understood. The first aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of turn size and speed o
