This study investigated the temporal dynamics of emotional and cognitive processing underlying decision-making in moral judgment. Thirty-seven participants were presented with a set of 60 dilemmas varying in whether killing one individual was an intended means to save others (instrumental dilemmas) or a foreseen but unintended consequence (incidental dilemmas). Participants were required to dec...

BACKGROUND Total thyroidectomy is increasingly recognised as the preferred surgical option for benign diseases of the thyroid. One factor contributing towards this change in policy is reports of incidental carcinomas in the resected specimens. METHODS This was a prospective study of patients, who underwent total thyroidectomy for benign diseases of the thyroid at the University Surgical Unit,...

Intra-cranial aneurysm can be incidental findings in patients with pituitary adenomas, and are usually located outside the pituitary region. However, the coexistence of intrasellar (not intracranial) aneurysms with pituitary adenomas is extremely rare. We report a patient with an incidental superior hypophygeal aneurysm embedded within a non-functional pituitary adenoma which was treated by tra...

There is ongoing debate about the contribution of explicit processes to incidental learning, particularly attention, working memory and control mechanisms. Studies generally measure explicit process contributions to incidental learning by comparing dual- to single-task sequence learning on some variant of a Serial Reaction Time (SRT), usually adopting an auditory tone counting task as the secon...

In this paper, we present an optimization-based system that automates home video editing (AVE). This system automatically selects suitable or desirable highlight segments from a set of raw home videos and aligns them with a given piece of incidental music to create an edited video segment to a desired length based on the content of the video and incidental music. We developed an approach for ex...

This paper tests whether changes in “incidental emotions” lead to changes in economic choices. Incidental emotions are experienced at the time of an economic decision but are not part of the payoff from a particular choice. As such, the standard economic model predicts that incidental emotions should not affect behavior, yet many papers in the behavioral science and psychology literatures find ...

The effect of lateralised cerebral damage on two memory tasks-free recall of words and memory of their temporal order-was investigated under intentional, incidental, and ''true incidental'' learning conditions. Ten Right Brain Damaged patients (RBD), 10 Left Brain Damaged patients (LBD), as well as 15 age-matched and 15 younger control individuals, participated in this study. It was hypothesise...
