Target identification under high levels of amplitude, size, orientation and background uncertainty

Many natural tasks require the visual system to classify image patches accurately into target categories, including the category of no target. Natural target categories often involve high levels of within-category variability (uncertainty), making it chall ...

Selective attention involves a feature-specific sequential release from inhibitory gating

David Pascucci, Gijs Plomp

Selective attention is a fundamental cognitive mechanism that allows our brain to preferentially process relevant sensory information, while filtering out distracting information. Attention is thought to flexibly gate the communication of irrelevant inform ...

Individual differences in the Müller-Lyer and Ponzo illusions are stable across different contexts

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Vision scientists have attempted to classify visual illusions according to certain aspects, such as brightness or spatial features. For example, Piaget proposed that visual illusion magnitudes either decrease or increase with age. Subsequently, it was sugg ...

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 ...

No correlations between the strength of visual illusions

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

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 ...

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 ...

Attention modulates spatio-temporal grouping

Michael Herzog

Dynamic stimuli are ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions implying that grouping operations need to operate, not only in space, but also jointly in space and time. Moreover, in natural viewing, attention plays an important role in controlling how resour ...

Gravity and observer's body orientation influence the visual perception of human body postures

Olaf Blanke

Since human behavior and perception have evolved within the Earth's gravitational field, humans possess an internal model of gravity. Although gravity is known to influence the visual perception of moving objects, the evidence is less clear concerning the ...

Seeing the phantom: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of a supernumerary phantom limb

Olaf Blanke, François Lazeyras, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

OBJECTIVE: Supernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a rare neurological manifestation where patients with a severe stroke-induced sensorimotor deficit experience the illusory presence of an extra limb that duplicates a real one. The illusion is most often exper ...

From high anxiety trait to depression: a neurocognitive hypothesis

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Although exposure to substantial stress has a major impact on the development of depression, there is considerable variability in the susceptibility of individuals to the adverse effects of stress. The personality trait of high anxiety has been identified ...

An integrated perception for autonomous virtual agents: active and predictive perception

Daniel Thalmann, Toni Conde

This paper presents an original model with methodologies that integrate in a novel way different types of an autonomous virtual agent's perception in a virtual environment. Our first new approach permits the coherent management of the shared virtual enviro ...
