The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Simona Adele Garobbio

In the past 10 years, our laboratory has proved the shine-through paradigm to be a very sensitive endophenotype for schizophrenia. The shine-through paradigm is a visual backward masking task, where the target is a vertical vernier followed by a 25-element ...

Sensorimotor conflicts induce somatic passivity and louden quiet voices in healthy listeners

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic

Sensorimotor conflicts are known to alter the perception of accompanying sensory signals, and deficits in sensory attenuation have been observed in schizophrenia. In the auditory domain, self-generated tones or voices (compared to tones or voices presented ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Dissecting self-voice perception: From bone conduction to robotically-induced self-other voice misattribution in healthy listeners

Pavo Orepic

Inspired by the prominent theory suggesting that auditory-verbal hallucinations (AVH) - the sensation of hearing voices without present speakers - arise as misattribution of inner speech towards external agents, my thesis revolved around self-voice percept ...

P300 in the park: feasibility of online data acquisition and integration in a Mobile Brain/Body Imaging setting

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

In the last years Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) has been increasingly used to study cognition in the real world to give more ecological validity to brain imaging studies currently carried out only inside the lab. To increase portability of the setup and ...

Characterization of multi-channel intraneural stimulation in transradial amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Fiorenzo Artoni, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been no reports on the characterization of multi-channel stimulation. A deepe ...

Cortical reactive balance responses to unexpected slippages while walking: a pilot study

Silvestro Micera

Understanding how the human brain cortex behaves when the dynamical balance is unexpectedly challenged can be useful to enable fall prevention strategies during daily activities. In this respect, we designed and tested a novel methodological approach to ea ...

Cardio-visual full body illusion alters bodily self-consciousness and tactile processing in somatosensory cortex

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Prominent theories highlight the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness, but it is currently not known whether this is based on interoceptive or exteroceptive signals or on integrated signals from these anatomically distinct systems, nor wh ...

Time course of prediction errors in sequential decision making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...

Visual masking and schizophrenia: enhancement deficit 200 ms after stimulus onset

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Masking is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients and to a lesser extent in their healthy relatives. For this reason, masking is a good endophenotype. Here, we show the EEG correlates of masking across the schizophrenia continuum in order to tackl ...

Bilateral cortical representation of tactile roughness

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Roughness is the most important feature for texture discrimination. Here we investigate how the bilateral cortical representation of touch is modulated by tactile roughness by analyzing the neural responses elicited by stimuli with various coarseness level ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Cortical Responses Induced by a Prolonged Tactile Stimulation of the Human Fingertips

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

The sense of touch is fundamental for daily behavior. The aim of this work is to understand the neural network responsible for touch processing during a prolonged tactile stimulation, delivered by means of a mechatronic platform by passively sliding a ridg ...

Action Monitoring Cortical Activity Coupled to Submovements

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Numerous studies have examined neural correlates of the human brain’s action-monitoring system during experimentally segmented tasks. However, it remains unknown how such a system operates during continuous motor output when no experimental time marker is ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously shown that visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia (Chkonia et al., 2010). Importantly, not only patients but also ...

Neural Correlates of Sequential Decision Making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in high schizotypic personality traits participants

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Visual backward masking is strongly deteriorated in patients with schizophrenia. Masking deficits are associated with strongly reduced amplitudes of the global field power in the EEG. Healthy participants who scored high in cognitive disorganization (a sch ...

Interoceptive signals impact visual processing: Cardiac modulation of visual body perception

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Christian Pfeiffer, Roberta Ronchi

Multisensory perception research has largely focused on exteroceptive signals, but recent evidence has revealed the integration of exteroceptive signals with interoceptive information. Such research revealed that heartbeat signals affect sensory (e.g., vis ...

Statistical parametric mapping of stimuli evoked changes in total blood flow velocity in the mouse cortex obtained with extended-focus optical coherence microscopy

Functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) imaging is the current gold-standard in neuroimaging. fMRI exploits local changes in blood oxygenation to map neuronal activity over the entire brain. However, its spatial resolution is currently limited to a few hundre ...

Compensation of visual backward masking deficits in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced N1 amplitudes as shown by the Global Field Power (GF ...
