Capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of self-generated, task-initiated thoughts with EEG and fMRI

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lucie Bréchet

The temporal structure of self-generated cognition is a key attribute to the formation of a meaningful stream of consciousness. When at rest, our mind wanders from thought to thought in distinct mental states. Despite the marked importance of ongoing menta ...

Heartbeat-evoked cortical responses: Underlying mechanisms, functional roles, and methodological considerations

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park

The heart continuously and cyclically communicates with the brain. Beyond homeostatic regulation and sensing, recent neuroscience research has started to shed light on brain-heart interactions in diverse cognitive and emotional processes. In particular, ne ...

Hand perceptions induced by single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

Background When single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) with sufficient intensity, it evokes muscular contractions (motor-evoked potentials, MEPs) and muscle twitches (TMS-evoked movements). Partic ...

Running Large-Scale Simulations on the Neurorobotics Platform to Understand Vision - The Case of Visual Crowding

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Alban Bornet

Traditionally, human vision research has focused on specific paradigms and proposed models to explain very specific properties of visual perception. However, the complexity and scope of modern psychophysical paradigms undermine the success of this approach ...

You or me? Disentangling perspectival, perceptual, and integrative mechanisms in heterotopagnosia

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino

Heterotopagnosia-without-Autotopagnosia (HwA) is characterized by the incapacity to point to body parts on others, but not on one's own body. This has been classically interpreted as related to a self-other distinction, with impaired visual representations ...

Is the perception of illusions abnormal in schizophrenia?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception, i.e., performance in visual tasks correlates only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. One may expect common visual factors for individuals suffering from pathol ...

Sensory threshold neuromuscular electrical stimulation fosters motor imagery performance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Serafeim Perdikis, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Tiffany Corbet

Motor imagery (MI) has been largely studied as a way to enhance motor learning and to restore motor functions. Although it is agreed that users should emphasize kinesthetic imagery during MI, recordings of MI brain patterns are not sufficiently reliable fo ...

Neural encoding of auditory features during music perception and imagery

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Stéphanie Martin

Despite many behavioral and neuroimaging investigations, it remains unclear how the human cortex represents spectrotemporal sound features during auditory imagery, and how this representation compares to auditory perception. To assess this, we recorded ele ...

The individual structure of visual space

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Common factors are ubiquitous. First, we show that, however in vision, correlations of performance in similar paradigms are low even though test-retest reliability is high. Second, one might expect that correlations increase with increasing age because of ...

Perception of visual illusions is intact in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception because performance levels in many visual tasks correlate only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. However, one may expect common visual factors for individuals ...

Brain imaging of locomotion in neurological conditions

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini

Impaired locomotion is a frequent and major source of disability in patients with neurological conditions. Different neuroimaging methods have been used to understand the brain substrates of locomotion in various neurological diseases (mainly in Parkinson' ...

Ambiance in Social Media Venues: Visual Cue Interpretation by Machines and Crowds

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Gülcan Can

We study the perception of ambiance of places captured in social media images by both machines and crowdworkers. This task is challenging due to the subjective nature of the ambiance construct as well as the large variety in layout, style, and visual chara ...
