An observational treatment study of metacognition in anxious-depression
(2023)Prior studies have found metacognitive biases are linked to a transdiagnostic dimension of anxious-depression, manifesting as reduced confidence in performance. However, previous work has been cross-sectional and so it is ... -
Implementing internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy in healthcare services: a qualitative exploration of stakeholder experience
(2023)Background: This study consisted of a qualitative exploration of stakeholder experience regarding the implementation of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) as part of routine service provision within the ... -
The Poison Dictates the Antidote: An Evaluation of a Rehabilitation Service for Torture Survivors Seeking International Protection in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Background: The growing number of refugees is of particular concern to global mental health practitioners. Specifically, rates of torture among forced migrants are thought to exceed 50% (Duffy & Kelly, 2015). Survivors of ... -
Exploring the Potential of Multimodal and Multiphasic Brain-Computer Interfaces for Neurorehabilitation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Stroke is a significant contributor to disability-adjusted life years in Europe, and its incidence is expected to rise due to demographic changes highlighting the need for effective post-stroke motor rehabilitation. Early ... -
Evaluation of the wireless dry EEG Cumulus platform to conduct neurocognitive research
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)The identification and validation of reliable brain biomarkers to characterize neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders can be laborious and generally relies on time-consuming brain imaging methods. Brain activity ... -
Neurocomputational mechanisms of prior-informed perceptual decision-making in humans
(2021)To interact successfully with diverse sensory environments, we must adapt our decision processes to account for time constraints and prior probabilities. The full set of decision-process parameters that undergo such flexible ... -
Balancing true and false detection of intermittent sensory targets by adjusting the inputs to the evidence accumulation process
(2023)Decisions about noisy stimuli are widely understood to be made by accumulating evidence up to a decision bound that can be adjusted according to task demands. However, relatively little is known about how such mechanisms ... -
Multiphasic value biases in fast-paced decisions
(2023)Perceptual decisions are biased toward higher-value options when overall gains can be improved. When stimuli demand immediate reactions, the neurophysiological decision process dynamically evolves through distinct phases ... -
Confidence is predicted by pre- and post-choice decision signal dynamics
(2023)It is well established that one’s confidence in a choice can be influenced by new evidence encountered after commitment has been reached, but the processes through which post-choice evidence is sampled remain unclear. To ... -
Neurophysiology of Human Perceptual Decision-Making
(2021)The discovery of neural signals that reflect the dynamics of perceptual decision formation has had a considerable impact. Not only do such signals enable detailed investigations of the neural implementation of the ... -
Therapy, Art, Friendship and Flourishing in Illness: A Mixed Methods Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of an Art Therapy Group Intervention for Paediatric Patients with Chronic Illnesses
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Children diagnosed with long-term chronic illnesses and medical conditions are at increased risk of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Children frequently report feeling different to their peers, struggle with self-esteem ... -
Relationships between dementia risk and protective lifestyle factors with cognition and brain function in midlife
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)It is now acknowledged that Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology is present decades before the onset of clinical symptoms. Midlife is a critical period for the beginning of AD pathology and potentially a unique ... -
The role of the Locus Coeruleus-Noradrenergic system integrity in the main Dementia modifiable risk factors: a comparative approach linking neuropsychological measures to biological and lifestyle indices
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Dementia etiopathogenesis is characterised by a plethora of heterogeneous and diverse factors, which contribute to delay the definition of effective treatments and preventing strategies. Growing evidence identifies in the ... -
An Examination of a Precision Teaching Model Within a Response to Intervention Framework Addressing Early Literacy Development of Young Children Within a Marginalised Community
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Fluency is accepted as key to our learners success, however, there are both several gaps within the fluency literature regarding establishing effective interventions and within applied practice, that need to be addressed. ... -
Connectivity of the Executive Control Network and Its Relation to Function in Adults and Infants
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)The executive control network (ECN) is critical for effective, organized behavior. But what mechanisms allow it to play this core role in higher cognition? An important property of the ECN is thought to be its connectivity ... -
An Exploration of the Applications of Neurally-Informed Models to Perceptual Decision-Making Research
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Understanding how the brain translates sensory input into action is of key importance to our understanding of all cognitive processes. Computational models utilise behavioural data to offer insight into the latent variables ... -
When planning to survive goes wrong: predicting the future and replaying the past in anxiety and PTSD
(2018)We increase our probability of survival and wellbeing by minimizing our exposure to rare, extremely negative events. In this article, we examine the computations used to predict and avoid such events and to update our ... -
Advancing Mental Health Research Using Data Science: Investigating Vulnerability to Depression with Language and Network Analysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)Depression affects over 5% of the global population, yet treatments for depression are only effective in 30-50% of people. Changing the status quo requires an improved understanding of how depression manifests in real life. ... -
Explanations and Familiarity in XAI: How users understand predictions and make decisions using an AI support system
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2023)We compared the effects of counterfactual and causal explanations for an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system?s decisions in a familiar domain (alcohol and driving) and an unfamiliar one (chemical safety) in four experiments ... -
An online tiered screening procedure to identify mental health problems among refugees.
(2023)Background Many refugees suffer from mental health problems due to stressful and traumatic events before, during, and after migration. However, refugees are facing a wide variety of barriers, limiting their access to ...
