Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait (2021)
Journal Article
Evangelopoulou, E., Jones, R., Jameel, M., Boyd, P., & Nester, C. (2021). Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait. Clinical Biomechanics, 83, 105309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105309

Studies of intermittent claudication gait report inconsistent outcomes. Changes in gait are often attributed to degradation of calf muscles, but causation has not been proven through real-time electromyographic data. Neither have effects of walking s...

Carry-over of attentional settings between distinct tasks : a transient effect independent of top-down contextual biases (2021)
Journal Article
Thompson, C., Pasquini, A., & Hills, P. (2021). Carry-over of attentional settings between distinct tasks : a transient effect independent of top-down contextual biases. Consciousness and Cognition, 90, 103104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2021.103104

Top-down attentional settings can persist between two unrelated tasks, influencing visual attention and performance. This study investigated whether top-down contextual information in a second task could moderate this “attentional inertia” effect. Fo...
