Autobiographical memory based interventions are a promising treatment option for emotional disorders Disruption to the way that we retrieve autobiographical memories, that is, memories of our personal life experiences, is a key feature of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

How the brain uses prior expectations to improve perception of degraded speech
How the brain uses prior expectations to improve perception of degraded speech In a new study published in BLOS Biology, Helen Blank and Matt Davis have shown that the brain uses predictive neural mechanisms to combine sensory signals and prior knowledge during the perception of degraded speech. Perception inevitably depends on combining sensory input with […]

The lead researcher, Rik Henson, said “These individuals are rare and their involvement illustrates the value of collaborations between the MRC CBU and the Neuropsychology Department […]
Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation Does Not Enhance the Effects of Working Memory Training
A study has shown that brain stimulation does not enhance any training gains from working memory training. Working memory (WM) is the cognitive ability that enables us to remember information for short periods of time. It also allows us to juggle multiple thoughts and focus on what we are doing. Individuals with poor WM struggle […]
