Effects of thought acceptance, diversion and suppression on food craving. :
Our Elaborated Intrusion Theory predicts that increased intrusions will cause more frequent and intense levels of desire and increased relapse.

Jon May (PI), PJ Barnard, D Duke
MultICS: Sensations in multiple modalities need somehow to be combined if we are to perceive them as being caused by a single event. This project examined the role of knowledge, expectation and task context
