Results indicate that...
Public perceptions of climate change and personal experience of flooding
The presented data was collected to examine the role of extreme weather as an influence on public perception of climate change through a focus on people's responses to the flooding events that affected the UK in the winter of 2013/2014.
To this purpose the pilot tested survey assessed three broad conceptual areas: climate change beliefs, flooding experience, and perceptions...
The hearing body: Experimental data, Part 4
Here we present data corresponding to a study in which we designed and tested a shoe-based prototype that senses a person's footsteps and alters in real-time the frequency spectra of the sound they produce while walking. The resulting sounds are consistent with those produced by either a lighter or heavier body. We measured perceived body weight, gait patterns and bodily...
The hearing body: Experimental data, Part 3
Here we present data that include subjective reports, electrodermal activity changes and behavioural data corresponding to hand tapping behaviour from individuals interacting with a sonic interactive surface. This interactive surface delivers surface tapping sounds corresponding to three different applied strength levels during tapping. Results showed that altering the sound...
The hearing body: Experimental data, Part 1
Here we present data corresponding to a study in which we investigated the necessary conditions to induce changes in the represented length of the arm when manipulating the spatial location of the sounds produced by one’s own hand tapping. Across two experiments, we asked participants to tap with their arm on a surface while extending their arm. We manipulated the tapping...
The hearing body: Experimental data, Part 2
Here we present data that include subjective reports and behavioural data corresponding to finger touch behaviour from individuals interacting with a sonic interactive surface. We designed and tested a prototype that dynamically alters the texture-related sound feedback based on touch behavior, as in natural surface touch interactions. Data from this user study showed that...
Understanding speech in the presence of other speech: Perceptual mechanisms for auditory scene analysis in human listeners
The datasets comprise transcriptions of stimuli (simplified analogues of spoken utterances) and associated keyword scores (proportion correct). The transcriptions are those entered by the participant using a keyboard.
It is unusual to hear the speech of a particular talker in isolation; speech is typically heard in the presence of interfering sounds, such as the voices of...

The hearing body: Experimental data, Part 8
People’s mental representations of their own body are malleable and continuously updated through sensory cues. Altering one’s body-representation can lead to changes in object perception and implicit attitudes. Virtual reality has been used to embody adults in the body of a 4-year-old child or a scaled-down adult body. Child embodiment was found to cause an overestimation of...

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Background: Smoking uptake has been declining in young adults (16-24 year olds) in the UK. However, concerns have been expressed that the emergence of e-cigarettes, while offering the potential to reduce smoking in adults, may have a negative impact on smoking in young people. Particular concern has...
Mental simulations of phonological representations are causally linked to silent reading of direct versus indirect speech 2016-2019
In three experiments, this project explored the phonological aspect and the causal role of speech simulations in silent reading of tongue twisters in direct speech, indirect speech and non-speech sentences.
Embodied theories propose that language is understood via mental simulations of sensory states related to perception and action. Given that direct speech (e.g., She...

Effects of a Task Switch on the Recognition of Facial Emotion Expression, 2012-2013
Previous task-switching studies have shown that shifting attention to a relevant stimulus attribute before stimulus onset is limited: several EEG markers of perceptual encoding (including processes previously thought to be automatic, e.g., visual word recognition) are delayed on task-switch trials. This study investigated whether this was the case for another process of...
