Characterizing the Digital Health Citizen: Mixed-Methods Study Deriving a New Typology
(2019-03)
Background: A key challenge for health systems harnessing digital tools and services is that of digital inclusion. Typically, digital inequalities are conceptualized in relation to unequal access or usage. However, these ...
Learning to optimize perceptual decisions through suppressive interactions in the human brain
(2019-01)
Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments by filtering external noise and task-irrelevant ...
Unimodal and bimodal access to sensory working memories by auditory and visual impulses
(2019-11)
It is unclear to what extent sensory processing areas are involved in the maintenance of sensory information in working memory (WM). Previous studies have thus far relied on finding neural activity in the corresponding ...
Qualitative Analysis of Remote Consultations (QuARC): A study of technology-enhanced consultations in diabetes, cancer and heart failure
(2018-07)
Background
Remote video consulting is promoted by policymakers as a way of delivering healthcare efficiently to
an ageing population with rising rates of chronic illness. As a radically new service model, it brings
operational ...
A cross-sectional study exploring levels of physical activity and motivators and barriers towards physical activity in haemodialysis patients to inform intervention development
(2019-10)
Purpose: To describe physical activity (PA) levels and motivators and barriers to PA amongst haemodialysis (HD) patients and to identify an appropriate approach to increasing their PA.
Methods: A cross-sectional mixed ...
Modulation of the pupillary response by the content of visual working memory
(2019-09)
Studies of selective attention during perception have revealed
modulation of the pupillary response according to the brightness
of task-relevant (attended) vs. -irrelevant (unattended) stimuli
within a visual display. ...
A Path Signature Approach for Speech Emotion Recognition
(2019-09)
Automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) remains a
difficult task within human-computer interaction, despite increasing
interest in the research community. One key challenge
is how to effectively integrate short-term ...
Hippocampal network abnormalities explain amnesia after VGKCC-Ab related autoimmune limbic encephalitis
(2019-05)
Objective Limbic encephalitis associated with antibodies to components of the voltage-gated potassium channel complex (VGKCC-Ab-LE) often leads to hippocampal atrophy and persistent memory impairment. Its long-term impact ...
The autoantibody-mediated encephalitides: from clinical observations to molecular pathogenesis
(2019-10)
The autoimmune encephalitis (AE) syndromes have been characterised by the detection of autoantibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid which target the extracellular domains of specific neuroglial antigens. The clinical ...
Premembering Experience: A Hierarchy of Time-Scales for Proactive Attention
(2019-10)
Memories are about the past, but they serve the future. Memory research often emphasizes the former aspect: focusing on the functions that re-constitute (re-member) experience and elucidating the various types of memories ...
