Title: Perceptual discrimination of action formidableness and friendliness and the impact of autistic traits (Online)
Description: The ability to determine whether the actions of other individuals are friendly or formidable are key decisions we need to make to successfully navigate our complex social environment. In this study we measured perceptual performance when discriminating actions that vary in their friendliness or formidableness, and whether performance was related to the autistic traits of individuals. To do this, we developed an action morphing method to generate novel actions that lied along the action quality dimensions of formidableness and friendliness. In Experiment 1 we show that actions that vary along the formidableness or friendliness continua were rated as varying monotonically along the respective quality. In Experiment 2 we measured the ability of individuals with different levels of autistic traits to discriminate action formidableness and friendliness using adaptive 2-AFC procedures. We found considerable variation in perceptual thresholds when discriminating action formidableness (~540% interindividual variation) or action friendliness (~1100% interindividual variation). However, we found no evidence that this variance in action discrimination ability was affected by individuals’ autistic traits. We attribute these findings to the ability of individuals with varying levels of autistic traits and different cognitive styles to achieve similar performance outcomes when attempting to determine action formidableness and friendliness.

Title: Don't Stand So Close to Me: Studying the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Anxiety and Social Avoidance (Online)
Description: The presentation will cover my final year research project. Rationale for the study originated from data gathered during the COVID-19 pandemic that suggested social anxiety to have increased during COVID-19. The role of social avoidance as a safety behaviour has been shown to maintain social anxiety, though its effects in COVID-19 lockdowns has been minimally researched. An online questionnaire studied whether social anxiety and social avoidance levels had increased following the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to before, with quantitative data analysis to be discussed in relation to existing data and literature.

Title: Digital health tools for promoting cognitive health & well-being: The CUTE platform
Description: It involves cognitive training, aesthetic experience elicitation, neuropsychological screening & testing, blink rate assessment and (to be included in the future) binaural beats & social prescription. It aims at improving participants’ mental well-being through a holistic, evidence-based digitized approach. It can be used in both patients and to the general population. To our knowledge, it is the 1st time that all these elements are combined in a well-being intervention. Moreover, its digitized nature allows for fast and efficient application of the intervention, easy set-up to any setting and automatic profiling of the user's mental well-being, which can further inform additional practices that will be tailored to the participant's needs.
