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?

Emotion does not influence prefrontal cortex activity during a visual attention task. A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study
Presentation / Conference
Bendall, R., & Thompson, C. Emotion does not influence prefrontal cortex activity during a visual attention task. A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study. Presented at 5th Annual International Conference on Cognitive and Behavioural Psychology 2016, Singapore

Research shows that positive and negative emotion can influence a range of cognitive processes as well as hemodynamic prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity. This study sought to investigate if PFC activity was influenced by positive and negative stimuli d...
