The neural mechanisms able to predict future emotion regulation decisions (2017)
Journal Article
Bendall, R. (2017). The neural mechanisms able to predict future emotion regulation decisions. Journal of Neurophysiology, 118(3), 1824-1827. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00397.2017

Emotion regulation is crucial in maintaining healthy psychological wellbeing, and its dysregulation is often linked to a range of neuropsychiatric disorders including depression. The neurobiological underpinnings of cognitive reappraisal, an emotion... Read More about The neural mechanisms able to predict future emotion regulation decisions.

Positive emotion expands visual attention...Or maybe not... (2017)
Journal Article
Taylor, A., Bendall, R., & Thompson, C. (2017). Positive emotion expands visual attention...Or maybe not... ˜The œcognitive psychology bulletin (Print), 33-37

A considerable amount of research has investigated the effect of emotion on visual attention. One prominent model in the field is the broaden-and-build theory, which suggests positive emotions broaden the scope of attention. In addition, the theory p...

A brief review of research using near-infrared spectroscopy to measure activation of the prefrontal cortex during emotional processing : the importance of experimental design (2016)
Journal Article
Bendall, R., Eachus, P., & Thompson, C. (2016). A brief review of research using near-infrared spectroscopy to measure activation of the prefrontal cortex during emotional processing : the importance of experimental design. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2016.00529

During the past two decades there has been a pronounced increase in the number of published research studies that have employed near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure neural activation. The technique is now an accepted neuroimaging tool adopt...

Emotion has no impact on attention in a change detection flicker task (2015)
Journal Article
Bendall, R., & Thompson, C. (2015). Emotion has no impact on attention in a change detection flicker task. Frontiers in Psychology, 6(1592), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01592

Past research provides conflicting findings regarding the influence of emotion on visual attention. Early studies suggested a broadening of attentional resources in relation to positive mood. However, more recent evidence indicates that positive emot... Read More about Emotion has no impact on attention in a change detection flicker task.

Presentation / Conference

Emotion affects prefrontal cortex activity during cognitive task performance: A change blindness functional near-infrared spectroscopy study. (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Bendall, R., & Thompson, C. (2014, September). Emotion affects prefrontal cortex activity during cognitive task performance: A change blindness functional near-infrared spectroscopy study. Poster presented at British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience Annual Scientific Meeting, York

Research is increasingly demonstrating that emotional processes interact with our cognitions and that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is heavily involved during such tasks. Higher naturalistic negative mood is related to reduced PFC activity during wor...

Attention restoration reduces change blindness (except for those who feel sad) (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Thompson, C., & Bendall, R. (2014, September). Attention restoration reduces change blindness (except for those who feel sad). Poster presented at British Psychological Society Cognitive Section Meeting, Nottingham, UK

Attention Restoration Theory (Kaplan, 1995; Kaplan & Berman, 2010) proposes that natural surroundings “restore” attentional resources, in comparison to urban surroundings. This is due to increased bottom-up processing in natural environments (relativ... Read More about Attention restoration reduces change blindness (except for those who feel sad).

Why don’t you go for a walk at lunchtime when you know it’s good for you? (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Conroy, C., James, P., Weinberg, A., & Bendall, R. (2011, September). Why don’t you go for a walk at lunchtime when you know it’s good for you?. Poster presented at Sustainable Well-Being, Wrexham

Health ecology, an emerging discipline, considers human health and well-being, including psychosocial issues such as perception of and attitudes towards wellbeing, in the context of human interaction with their environment (Bhasin, Shampa Nag, 2011)...

Is this seat taken? Behavioural analysis of the Telethrone : a novel situated telepresence display
Presentation / Conference
O'Hare, J., Bendall, R., Weir, B., Thomas, G., & Roberts, D. Is this seat taken? Behavioural analysis of the Telethrone : a novel situated telepresence display. Presented at ICAT-EGVE 2016 - International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence and Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA

We present research with two novel components; a system which may improve current small group telecommunication, and an experiment to test the efficacy. Telethrone projects a remote user onto a chair, bringing them into your space. The chair acts as... Read More about Is this seat taken?
