Franceschiello B*, Di Sopra L*, Minier A, Ionta S, Zeugin D, Notter MP, Bastiaansen JAM, Jorge J, Yerly J, Stuber M, Murray MM (2020). 3-Dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of the freely moving human eye. Progress in Neurobiology194: 101885. [DOI]

  • This was the first study introducing methods to image the moving eye using MRI methods.

Denervaud S, Gentaz E, Matusz PJ*, Murray MM* (2020) Multisensory gains in simple detection predict global cognition in schoolchildren. Scientific Reports, 10 (1):1394. [DOI]

  • This original research showed how a brief simple detection task could accurately predict higher-order cognitive abilities in healthy schoolchildren that are typically assessed with cost and infrastructure intensive tools.

Biasiucci A, Franceschiello B, Murray MM (2019) Electroencephalography. Current Biology29: R80-R85. [DOI]

  • This is a primer written to a general scientific audience on the analytical capabilities of EEG.

Maitre NL, Key AP, Chorna O, Slaughter JC, Matusz PJ, Wallace MT, Murray MM (2017) The dual nature of early-life experience on somatosensory processing in the human infant brain. Current Biology27:1048-54. [DOI]

  • This original research in premature neonates used EEG to show how the quality of early life experiences in the NICU (painful vs. pleasant) alters brain responses to touch.

Murray MM, Lewkowicz DJ, Amedi A, Wallace MT (2016) Multisensory Processes: A Balancing Act across the Lifespan. Trends in Neurosciences39: 567-579. [DOI]

  • This review summarizes the ubiquity of multisensory processes across the lifespan and introduces explanatory models for their dynamic plasticity via stimulus characteristics and learned associations.
