Probing and modulating inter-areal coupling in the cortical visual motion processing pathway with non-invasive brain stimulation

In the last few years, stroke ranked as the second most common cause of death and is the third most significant condition affecting disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide. Being the most prevalent and quality of life impacting post-stroke symptom ...

Temporal aspects of feature integration in vision

Lukas Vogelsang

To fully comprehend visual perception, we need to necessarily understand its temporal dimension. Our visual environment is highly dynamic, requiring the processing and integration of temporal signals in order to make sense of it. Many processes, such as th ...

The full-body illusion changes visual depth perception

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Knowing where objects are relative to us implies knowing where we are relative to the external world. Here, we investigated whether space perception can be influenced by an experimentally induced change in perceived self-location. To dissociate real and ap ...

Serial dependence in visual perception: A review

David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan, Ayberk Ozkirli

How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence what we perceive in the present. In line with this, recent frameworks sugge ...

Arm-wrist haptic sleeve for drone teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Matteo Macchini

Teleoperators rely on both visual and haptic feedback to perform drone teleoperation tasks, such as obstacle avoidance. Haptic feedback becomes essential when visual feedback is compromised, either due to visual occlusions or poor depth perception. However ...

Spatial and temporal integration of visual features

Oh-Hyeon Choung

Visual processing can be seen as the integration and segmentation of features. Objects are composed of contours, integrated into shapes and segmented from other contours. Information also needs to be integrated to solve the ill-posed problems of vision. Fo ...

Photovoltaic stimulation of retinal microcircuit for vision restoration

Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais

Sight restoration through retinal prostheses was still a mere dream a century ago. Current challenges are even greater: providing a quantitatively and qualitatively useful artificial vision to late blind patients. Existing approaches all face engineering a ...

Learning stereo reconstruction with deep neural networks

Stepan Tulyakov

Stereo reconstruction is a problem of recovering a 3d structure of a scene from a pair of images of the scene, acquired from different viewpoints. It has been investigated for decades and many successful methods were developed. The main drawback of these ...

Beyond Cameras: Real-Time High-Resolution 3D and Panoramic MultiView Vision Systems with Their Applications

Bilal Demir

The cameras are invented by imitating the human visual system to capture the scene. The camera technologies have been substantially advanced in recent years. 108 MP resolution with 100x hybrid zoom has become standard features for smartphone flagships. In ...

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 ...

Reference-frames in vision: Contributions of attentional tracking to nonretinotopic perception in the Ternus-Pikler display

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs, Oh-Hyeon Choung

Perception depends on reference frames. For example, the "true'' cycloidal motion trajectory of a reflector on a bike's wheel is invisible because we perceive the reflector motion relative to the bike's motion trajectory, which serves as a reference frame. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Perceptual Dynamics of Daylight in Architecture

Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

In our experience of daylit architecture, our visual perception is greatly impacted by the ephemeral and inherently dynamic conditions of the surrounding environment. Driven by changes in sky type, time-of-day, and time-of-year, these variable conditions c ...

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 ...

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 ...

Release of crowding by pattern completion

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, target perception deteriorates in the presence of flanking elements. Crowding is classically explained by low-level mechanisms such as pooling or feature substitution. However, we have previously shown that perceptual grouping between the targ ...

Balancing awareness: Vestibular signals modulate visual consciousness in the absence of awareness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Mariia Kaliuzhna

The processing of visual and vestibular information is crucial for perceiving self-motion. Visual cues, such as optic flow, have been shown to induce and alter vestibular percepts, yet the role of vestibular information in shaping visual awareness remains ...

Visual crowding illustrates the inadequacy of local vs. global and feedforward vs. feedback distinctions in modeling visual perception

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke

Experimentalists tend to classify models of visual perception as being either local or global, and involving either feedforward or feedback processing. We argue that these distinctions are not as helpful as they might appear, and we illustrate these issues ...
