Serial Dependence in Human Visual Perception and Decision-Making

Decisions about a current visual stimulus are systematically biased by recently encountered stimuli, a phenomenon known as serial dependence. In human vision, for instance, we tend to report the features of current images as more similar â i.e., an attra ...

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 ...

Temporal windows of unconscious processing cannot easily be disrupted

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang

Conscious perception is preceded by long periods of unconscious processing. These periods are crucial for analyzing temporal information and for solving the many ill-posed problems of vision. An important question is what starts and ends these windows and ...

Continual Test-Time Domain Adaptation

Olga Fink

Test-time domain adaptation aims to adapt a source pretrained model to a target domain without using any source data. Existing works mainly consider the case where the target domain is static. However, real-world machine perception systems are running in n ...

Information integration and information storage in retinotopic and non-retinotopic sensory memory

Michael Herzog

The first stage of the Atkinson–Shiffrin model of human memory is a sensory memory (SM). The visual component of the SM was shown to operate within a retinotopic reference frame. However, a retinotopic SM (rSM) is unable to account for vision under natural ...

Serial dependence does not originate from low-level visual processing

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan

Perception depends not only on the current sensory input but also on the preceding history of stimuli. In serial dependence (SD), for example, the orientation of a Gabor patch is mistakenly reported as more similar to previous trials than it actually is. T ...

Musical syntactic structure improves memory for melody: evidence from the processing of ambiguous melodies

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Memories of most stimuli in the auditory and other domains are prone to the disruptive interference of intervening events, whereby memory performance continuously declines as the number of intervening events increases. However, melodies in a familiar music ...

The influence of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the right auditory cortex on interference effects in memory for melodies

Steffen Alexander Herff

The study investigates how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the auditory cortex (AC) modulates memory for melodies under different noise conditions, whilst also considering cumulative disruptive interference effects. Forty-one participan ...

A guideline for linking brain wave findings to the various aspects of discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Lukas Vogelsang, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Brain waves, determined by electrical and magnetic brain recordings (e.g., EEG and MEG), and fluctuating behavioral responses, determined by response time or accuracy measures, are frequently taken to support discrete perception. For example, it has been p ...

Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Wenwen Chang

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

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. ...

Alpha/beta power decreases track the fidelity of stimulus-specific information

João Pedro Forjaco Jorge

Massed synchronised neuronal firing is detrimental to information processing. When networks of task-irrelevant neurons fire in unison, they mask the signal generated by task-critical neurons. On a macroscopic level, such synchronisation can contribute to a ...

Experimentally induced limb-disownership in mixed reality

Oliver Alan Kannape

The seemingly stable construct of our bodily self depends on the continued, successful integration of multi sensory feedback about our body, rather than its purely physical composition. Accordingly, pathological disruption of such neural processing is link ...

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 ...

Changing motor perception by sensorimotor conflicts and body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Michiel van Elk, Joan Llobera Mahy

Experimentally induced sensorimotor conflicts can result in a loss of the feeling of control over a movement (sense of agency). These findings are typically interpreted in terms of a forward model in which the predicted sensory consequences of the movement ...

How best to unify crowding?

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Mattew Pachai

Crowding refers to the detrimental effect of nearby elements on target perception. Recently, Harrison and Bex (Curr Biol, 2015) modeled performance in a novel orientation crowding paradigm where observers reported the orientation of a Landolt C presented a ...

The Number of Genomic Copies at the 16p11.2 Locus Modulates Language, Verbal Memory, and Inhibition

Nouchine Hadjikhani, Borja Rodriguez Herreros, Loyse Hippolyte

BACKGROUND: Deletions and duplications of the 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus are prevalent copy number variations (CNVs), highly associated with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Beyond language and global cognition, neuropsychological assessments of thes ...

Event-related potentials and changes of brain rhythm oscillations during working memory activation in patients with first-episode psychosis

Jonas Richiardi

Background: Earlier contributions have documented significant changes in sensory, attention-related endogenous event-related potential (ERP) components and theta band oscillatory responses during working memory activation in patients with schizophrenia. In ...

Activating the motor system through action observation: is this an efficient approach in adults and children?

Michela Bassolino

Observing an action performed by another person to learn a new movement is a frequent experience in adult daily life, such as in sports. However, it is an especially common circumstance during the development of motor skills in childhood. Studies on health ...

Retinotopy of visual masking and non-retinotopic perception during masking

Michael Herzog

Due to the movements of the observer and those of objects in the environment, retinotopic representations are highly unstable during ecological viewing conditions. The phenomenal stability of our perception suggests that retinotopic representations are tra ...
