A smartphone-based approach to understanding how dementia risk factors relate to cognitive impairment
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2025)As populations age and dementia prevalence increases, promoting brain health has become more important than ever before. Non-modifiable factors such as age, genes, and sex affect the risk of dementia, but they are not fully ... -
The Effect of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation on Implicit Motor Learning
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2025)Applying brain stimulation to motor learning and recovery has been a primary goal since the field was established.

(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2016)The purpose of this study was to describe the spatial and non-spatial properties of single-units in the anterior retrosplenial cortex (RSC) of the freely moving rat. A total of five male Lister Hooded rats were implanted ... -
The neural determinants of perceptual decision-making in the human brain
