He published widely from his research on a variety of topics which principally concerned the relationship of mental events to psycho-sociological phenomena, including hypnosis and trauma, epilepsy, sleep patterns in infants, and intra-cranial bruits. Goldie's research on attention and inattention in neuro-physiology was the subject of a leading article in 'Nature'.
