Inferring about individual drug and schizotypy effects on cognitive functioning in polydrug using mephedrone users before and after clubbing

Objective Mephedrone has been recently made illegal in Europe, but little empirical evidence is available on its impact on human cognitive functions. We investigated acute and chronic effects of mephedrone consumption on drug-sensitive cognitive measures, ...

Duration and not strength of activation in temporo-parietal cortex positively correlates with schizotypy

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Impaired self- and own body processing in patients with schizophrenia and individuals along the schizophrenia spectrum have been associated with dysfunctional cortical activation at the temporo-parietal junction. Here we investigated whether strength or du ...

Sex moderates the relationship between cognitive disorganisation and visual backward masking: potential implications for an endophenotype of schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that impairs individuals’ life, often chronically and from early adulthood on. There is a search for endophenotypes, i.e. stable markers of the genetic underpinnings of the disease. Visual backward masking (VBM) is ...

A putative implication for fronto-parietal connectivity in out-of-body experiences

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Self-processing has been related to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) as well as to their connectivity. So far, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), impressive transient deviations of intact bodily self-integration, could be as ...

EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy

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

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia, especially in backward masking. In our task a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right) ...

Mental imagery for full and upper human bodies: common right hemisphere activations and distinct extrastriate activations

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Silvio Ionta

The processing of human bodies is important in social life and for the recognition of another person's actions, moods, and intentions. Recent neuroimaging studies on mental imagery of human body parts suggest that the left hemisphere is dominant in body pr ...

Neural basis of embodiment: distinct contributions of temporoparietal junction and extrastriate body area

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Embodiment, the sense of being localized within one's physical body, is a fundamental aspect of the self. Recently, researchers have started to show that self and body processing require distinct brain mechanisms, suggesting two posterior brain regions as ...

The demystification of autoscopic phenomena: experimental propositions

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are rare, illusory visual experiences during which the subject has the impression of seeing a second own body in extrapersonal space. AP consist of out-of-body experience, autoscopic hallucination, and heautoscopy. Recent neurolog ...

Linking out-of-body experience and self processing to mental own-body imagery at the temporoparietal junction

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Peter Andreas Brugger

The spatial unity of self and body is challenged by various philosophical considerations and several phenomena, perhaps most notoriously the "out-of-body experience" (OBE) during which one's visual perspective and one's self are experienced to have departe ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Christine Mohr, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

The longitudinal association between social functioning and theory of mind in first-episode psychosis

Christine Mohr, Daniela Herzig

IntroductionThere is some cross-sectional evidence that theory of mind ability is associated with social functioning in those with psychosis but the direction of this relationship is unknown. This study investigates the longitudinal association between bot ...

Put on that colour, it fits your emotion: Colour appropriateness as a function of expressed emotion

Christine Mohr

People associate affective meaning with colour, and this may influence decisions about colours. Hue is traditionally considered the most salient descriptor of colour and colour-affect associations, although colour brightness and saturation seem to have par ...

Out-of-body experience, heautoscopy, and autoscopic hallucination of neurological origin Implications for neurocognitive mechanisms of corporeal awareness and self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are rare illusory visual experiences during which the subject has the impression of seeing a second own body in extrapersonal space. AP consist of out-of-body experience (OBE), autoscopic hallucination (AH), and heautoscopy (HAS). ...

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 ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...

Interactive Digital Engagement With Visual Artworks and Cultural Artefacts Enhances User Aesthetic Experiences in the Laboratory and Museum

Martin Vetterli, Christine Mohr, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz

Digital technologies reshape the way we interact with our environment, including with artworks. Advanced computational imaging solutions allow having extremely high-resolution digital reproductions of artworks outside museums, presumably increasing artwork ...

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 ...

The influence of sex and empathy on putting oneself in the shoes of others

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

We tested whether putting oneself in the shoes of others is easier for women, possibly as a function of individuals' empathy levels, and whether any sex difference might be modulated by the sex of presented figures. Participants (N=100, 50 women) imagined ...

Is there a common factor for vision?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Aaron Michael Clarke

In cognition, common factors play a crucial role. For example, different types of intelligence are highly correlated, pointing to a common factor, which is often called g. One might expect that a similar common factor would also exist for vision. Surprisin ...

Are We Modular Lying Cues Detectors? The Answer Is "Yes, Sometimes"

Christine Mohr, Vladimir Kopta, Amer Chamseddine

We quickly form first impressions about newly encountered people guiding our subsequent behaviour (approach, avoidance). Such instant judgments might be innate and automatic, being performed unconsciously and independently to other cognitive processes. Lyi ...
