German, Massiell | A genetic analysis of VSX2 function in the mouse eye | Vsx2 is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor essential for maintenance of neuroretinal identity and neurogenesis. Vsx2 is believed to function via mechanisms that are strictly cell-intrinsic. However, recent research reveals evidence for involvement of Vsx2-mediated cell non-autonomous mech... | Neurogenesis - physiology | 2012-05 |

Gutierrez-Prieto, Andrea | A Psychopy implementation of the artificial grammar learning paradigm: replication LAI (2015) | Phonology has long focused on not only occurrence of patterns, but also the absence of certain patterns. Various proposals have attempted to address this question by suggesting that this is due to biases that affect learnability. In addition to studying the presence and absence of phonological patte... | | 2023 |

Stewart, Patrick | A Real-World Investigation of the Attentional Capture Paradigm | Attention directs awareness toward important objects, like food or predators, and filters out unimportant objects, like familiar scenery. Two modes of visual attention have been identified: goal-directed and stimulus-driven (Simons, 2000). Goal-directed attention refers to a deliberate search for ob... | | 2017 |
