Gender differences in visual perception

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Christine Mohr

Gender differences are well established in cognition and somato-sensation, but there are almost no studies on gender differences in visual perception. One reason is that sample size is often small because effect sizes are large. Small samples are not well ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in first-episode psychosis

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

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disorder and among other symptoms, patients have important visual impairments. Visual paradigms are therefore important tools to investigate the mechanisms of schizophrenia. We have previously shown that visual backward mas ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking in psychosis

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

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask, which deteriorates performance on the target. Schizophrenia and first episodes patients show strong behavioral deficits, reflected in strongly reduced amplitudes of the EEG as compared to co ...

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 ...

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 ...

Visual backward masking in siblings of schizophrenia patients: evidence for a compensation mechanism

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

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced EEG amplitudes. In VBM, a target stimulus is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. Here, we inves ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...

Embedded figures in schizophrenia: A main deficit but no specificity

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Michel Akselrod

Visual deficits are core deficits of schizophrenia. Classically, deficits are determined with demanding psychophysical tasks requiring fine-grained spatial or temporal resolution. Less is known about holistic processing. Here, we employed the Leuven Embedd ...

Contextual suppression and protection in schizophrenic patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

INTRODUCTION: Contextual processing is often strongly deteriorated in schizophrenic patients as found, for example, in higher cognitive as well as lower visual paradigms. In visual detection tasks, impoverished contextual facilitation was attributed to abe ...

Local versus global and retinotopic versus non-retinotopic motion processing in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Marc Michael Lauffs

Schizophrenia impairs cognitive function as much as perception. For example, patients perceive global motion in random dot kinematograms less strongly, because the integration of the dots into a single Gestalt is complex (e.g., Chen, Nakayama, Levy, Matthy ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking: Compensation mechanism in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with bipolar disorder

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

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask that decreases target discriminability. Schizophrenia patients (SZ) show strong and reproducible masking impairments, which are associated with reduced EEG amplitudes. Patients with bipolar d ...

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 ...

Crowding, grouping, and gain control in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

isual paradigms are versatile tools to investigate the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Contextual modulation refers to a class of paradigms where a target is flanked by neighbouring elements, which either deteriorate or facilitate target perception. It i ...

Combining vernier acuity and visual backward masking as a sensitive test for visual temporal deficits in aging research

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Performance in many everyday situations slows down when age increases. The causes of slowing down may be found on any stage of information processing. Here, we show that the combination of a vernier acuity task and the shine-through backward masking paradi ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizophrenic patients are associated with polymorphisms in the nicotinic receptor α7 subunit gene (CHRNA7)

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Visual backward masking (BM) deficits are often proposed to be trait markers for schizophrenia revealing the genetic underpinnings of the disease. Here, we show that, indeed, masking deficits in the shine-through effect are associated with polymorphisms in ...

The EEG multiverse of schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Wei-Hsiang Lin, Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez

Research on schizophrenia typically focuses on one paradigm for which clear-cut differences between patients and controls are established. Great efforts are made to understand the underlying genetical, neurophysiological, and cognitive mechanisms, which ev ...

The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries

Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Ramiro Tau, Amer Chamseddine

Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...

Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity

Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Amer Chamseddine

Many of us "see red," "feel blue," or "turn green with envy." Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we t ...

Bistable Perception Discriminates Between Depressive Patients, Controls, Schizophrenia Patients, and Their Siblings

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Simona Adele Garobbio

Background and Hypothesis Individuals with schizophrenia have less priors than controls, meaning they rely less upon their prior experiences to interpret the current stimuli. These differences in priors are expected to show as higher alternation rates in b ...
