Investigating the Serotonergic Modulation of Orientation Tuning of Neurons in Primary Visual Cortex of Anesthetized Mice

Introduction: Sensory processing is profoundly regulated by brain neuromodulatory systems. One of the main neuromodulators is serotonin which influences higher cognitive functions, such as different aspects of perceptual processing. Accordingly, malfunctio ...

Individual differences in visual (mis)perception: a multivariate statistical approach

Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Common factors are omnipresent in everyday life, e.g., people who do well in one cognitive test are likely to perform well in other cognitive tests as well, and vice versa. In vision, however, there seems to be a multitude of specific factors rather than a ...

Individual differences in the perception of visual illusions are stable across eyes, time, and measurement methods

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Vision scientists have tried to classify illusions for more than a century. For example, some studies suggested that there is a unique common factor for all visual illusions. Other studies proposed that there are several subclasses of illusions, such as il ...

When illusions merge

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

We recently found only weak correlations between the susceptibility to various visual illusions. However, we observed strong correlations among different variants of an illusion, suggesting that the visual space of illusions includes several illusion-speci ...

Factors underlying visual illusions are illusion-specific but not feature-specific

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Common factors are ubiquitous. For example, there is a common factor, g, for intelligence. In vision, there is much weaker evidence for such common factors. For example, visual illusion magnitudes correlate only weakly with each other. Here, we investigate ...

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 ...

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 ...

About specific and general factors for visual illusions

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Contrary to studies of audition and cognition, we previously did not find evidence for a general common factor for vision but for many very specific ones. For example, we found strong correlations between 19 versions of the Ebbinghaus illusion, which diffe ...

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 ...

How many factors are there in vision?

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Common factors are ubiquitous in cognition, audition, and somato-sensation. Surprisingly, there seems to be no common factor in vision, i.e., visual tasks correlate very weakly with each other. Here, we show that there are likely many very specific factors ...

About individual differences in vision

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different paradigms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seemingly very similar tasks, such as visual and bisection acuity, ...

Tell me about your Ponzo and I will tell you who you are

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Unlike in cognition, audition and somatosensation, performance between various visual tasks does not correlate. Surprisingly, even tasks that appear similar, like visual acuity and line bisection task do not share much common variance. Similar results were ...

No correlations between visual illusion strength

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

In cognition, audition and somatosensation, performance correlates strongly between different tasks suggesting the existence of common factors. Surprisingly, this does not hold true for vision. For example, Vernier acuity and Gabor detection correlate very ...

No correlations between the strength of visual illusions

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance correlates strongly between different paradigms suggesting the existence of common factors. Surprisingly, this does not hold true for vision. For example, performance in line bisection and visual acu ...

Grouping and Gestalt in Visual Contextual Modulation

The perception of a visual stimulus is strongly modulated by surrounding elements. This phenomenon, called contextual modulation, can be exemplary observed in a large number of visual illusions, e.g. in the tilt-illusion where a vertical grating appears ti ...
