The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent - used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  3. Link(s) provided to professional profile(s)
  4. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence

Headings[edit source]

  1. Promising 3-level heading structure
  2. Headings are directly aligned with the topic
  3. "What is emotion?" is probably not needed as it is very broad and better covered elsewhere - provide a brief description and embedded links to other book chapter(s) and/or Wikipedia article(s) so that this chapter can concentrate on neurostimulation and emotion
  4. Consider expanding the 2nd and 3rd level heading structure

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations
  2. Overview is promising:
    1. Consider adding a description of the "problem" (e.g., how can emotion be modulated?) and what will be covered
    2. I've made minor adjustments to the focus questions (e.g., removed "What is emotion?")
    3. Consider adding
      1. an image
      2. an example or case study
  3. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  4. Appears to be a good balance of theory and research
  5. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. under developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented
  2. Caption uses APA style
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  4. Ideally, provide some images of neurostimulation in action.

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. separate page numbers by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Article suggestions[edit source]

Hi, thank you for writing the chapter on neurostimulation and emotion. I was particularly interested in the non-invasive modulation section. In this section, "transcutaneous magnetic stimulation" is mentioned, although, I think you may be referring to "transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on the section below that ("disorders that can be treated through neurostimulation"). From brief research, transcutaneous stimulation appears to be useful in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, rather than psychological disorders. It may be beneficial to review this section. Although, more clarity may be provided as you develop this section past dot points.

To assist with the development, I have found a meta-analysis that may provide you with additional information on transcranial magnetic stimulation and its efficacy with a multitude of disorders. Most articles focus exclusively on depression, whereas Cirillo et al., (2019) expand to anxiety and other trauma-related disorders.

Another article that may be helpful to further explore the similarities and differences between transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and TMS is this literature review by Ando et al., (2021). This explores the specific brain regions utilised during emotion and impacted during modulation.

I hope these distinctions and articles help you in the progression of your book chapter. I look forward to reading the final edit :) --CharliU3203035 (discusscontribs) 00:35, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation.

Overview[edit source]

  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is presented and narrated - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.

  4. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages.

Content[edit source]

  1. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
  2. However, there is too much general content. Instead, focus on psychological theory and research which is more directly related to the topic (How can neurostimulation affect emotion?).

  4. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory.
  5. The presentation makes little to no use of relevant psychological research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s).

Audio[edit source]

  1. Basic use of narrated audio.
  2. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
