Why our best theories of perception lead to Anti-reductionism

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Basic percepts and observation sentences, such as "the voltmeter is at 7A", provide the ground truth for realistic theories. Reduction is the second backbone of these theories linking, for example, neuroscience to physics. First, we will show, by mathemati ...

Global and high-level effects in crowding cannot be predicted by either high-dimensional pooling or target cueing

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Mauro Manassi, Alban Bornet, Oh-Hyeon Choung

In visual crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. Traditionally, target-flanker interactions have been considered as local, mostly deleterious, low-level, and feature specific, occurring when information is poo ...

Features integrate along a motion trajectory when object integrity is preserved

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Information about a moving object is usually poor at each retinotopic location because photoreceptor activation is short, noisy, and affected by shadows, reflections of other objects, and so on. Integration across the motion trajectory may yield a much bet ...

The neural correlates of non-retinotopic motion integration as revealed by high-density EEG

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

Under normal viewing conditions, due to the motion of objects and to eye movements, the retinotopic representation of the environment constantly changes. Yet we perceive the world as stable, and we easily keep track of moving objects. Here, we investigated ...

Human perceptual learning by mental imagery

Michael Herzog

Perceptual learning is learning to perceive. For example, a radiologist is able to easily identify anomalies in medical images only after extended training. Theoretical and psychophysical studies [1-12] suggest that such improvements of performance are acc ...

Intact Serial Dependence in Schizophrenia: Evidence from an Orientation Adjustment Task

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci

Background and Hypothesis For a long time, it was proposed that schizophrenia (SCZ) patients rely more on sensory input and less on prior information, potentially leading to reduced serial dependence-ie, a reduced influence of prior stimuli in perceptual t ...

A computational model for reference-frame synthesis with applications to motion perception

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

As discovered by the Gestaltists, in particular by Duncker, we often perceive motion to be within a non-retinotopic reference frame. For example, the motion of a reflector on a bicycle appears to be circular, whereas, it traces out a cycloidal path with re ...

EEG Correlates of Relative Motion Encoding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

A large portion of the visual cortex is organized retinotopically, but perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, a reflector on the spoke of a bicycle wheel appears to move on a circular or prolate cycloidal orbit as the bicycle moves forward, wh ...

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 ...

The effect of “objecthood” in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

In the Ebbinghaus illusion, observers overestimate the size of a target when it is surrounded by large flakers and compared with a control target surrounded by small flankers. We examined whether “objecthood” – the degree to which an object is a cohesive e ...

Hard criteria for empirical theories of consciousness

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

Consciousness is now a well-established field of empirical research. A large body of experimental results has been accumulated and is steadily growing. In parallel, many Theories of Consciousness (ToCs) have been proposed. These theories are diverse in nat ...

Motion and tilt aftereffects occur largely in retinal, not in object, coordinates in the Ternus-Pikler display

Michael Herzog, Marco Boi

Recent studies have shown that a variety of aftereffects occurs in a non-retinotopic frame of reference. These findings have been taken as strong evidence that remapping of visual information occurs in a hierarchic manner in the human cortex with an increa ...

Bayesian regression explains how human participants handle parameter uncertainty

Michael Herzog, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska, Mattew Pachai

Author summary How do humans make prediction when the critical factor that influences the quality of the prediction is hidden? Here, we address this question by conducting a simple psychophysical experiment in which participants had to extrapolate a parabo ...

The role of one-shot learning in #TheDress

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

The first amazing effect with #TheDress is that a large number of people perceive it as white and gold even though the true colors of the dress are black and blue. Such apparent changes in color are common in many illusions. What makes #TheDress even more ...

Endophenotypes of schizophrenia: electrophysiological correlates of first episode patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disorder and among other symptoms, patients have important visual impairments. Visual paradigms are therefore important tools to investigate the mechanisms of schizophrenia. During the last period of the NCCR, we have chara ...

Shrinking Bouma's window: Visual crowding in dense displays

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

In crowding, perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. In the traditional feedforward framework of vision, only elements within Bouma’s window interfere with the target and adding more elements always leads to stronger crowdin ...

Anesthesia prevents auditory perceptual learning

Michael Herzog, Alain Farron, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

BACKGROUND: An auditory perceptual learning paradigm was used to investigate whether implicit memories are formed during general anesthesia. METHODS: Eighty-seven patients who had an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-III and were s ...

Dopaminergic modulation of motor network compensatory mechanisms in Parkinson's disease

Michael Herzog, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

The dopaminergic system has a unique gating function in the initiation and execution of movements. When the interhemispheric imbalance of dopamine inherent to the healthy brain is disrupted, as in Parkinson's disease (PD), compensatory mechanisms act to st ...

Combining vernier acuity and visual backward masking as a sensitive test for visual temporal deficits in aging research

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Performance in many everyday situations slows down when age increases. The causes of slowing down may be found on any stage of information processing. Here, we show that the combination of a vernier acuity task and the shine-through backward masking paradi ...

Combining simultaneous with temporal masking

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis

Simultaneous and temporal masking are two frequently used techniques in psychology and vision science. Although there are many studies and theories related to each masking technique, there are no systematic investigations of their mutual relationship, even ...
