In crowding, perception of an object deteriorates in the presence of nearby elements. Although crowding is a ubiquitous phenomenon, since elements are rarely seen in isolation, to date there exists no consensus on how to model it. Previous experiments show ...

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. ...

Building perception block by block: a response to Fekete et al

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Is consciousness a continuous stream, or do percepts occur only at certain moments of time? This age-old question is still under debate. Both positions face difficult problems, which we proposed to overcome with a 2-stage model, where unconscious processin ...

No Evidence for a Common Factor Underlying Visual Abilities in Healthy Older People

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

The world's population is aging at an increasing rate. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders, healthy aging affects perception and cognition. In the context of cognition, common factors are well established. Much less is known about common fac ...

Shrinking Bouma's window: Visual crowding in dense displays

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

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 ...

The unfolding argument: Why IIT and other causal structure theories cannot explain consciousness

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

How can we explain consciousness? This question has become a vibrant topic of neuroscience research in recent decades. A large body of empirical results has been accumulated, and many theories have been proposed. Certain theories suggest that consciousness ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with major depressive disorder

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Depression and schizophrenia are two psychiatric diseases with high co-morbidity. For this reason, it is important to find sensitive endophenotypes, which may disentangle the two disorders. The Shine-Through paradigm, a visual backward masking task, is a p ...

Associations between genetic variations and global motion perception

Michael Herzog

The cholinergic system is known to strongly modulate perceptual and cognitive processes, and the alpha7 subunit of the cholinergic nicotinic receptor (CHRNA7) is broadly expressed within the visual system. Here, we assessed whether genetic variations of CH ...

Exploring the Extent in the Visual Field of the Honeycomb and Extinction Illusions

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

There are situations in which what is perceived in central vision is different to what is perceived in the periphery, even though the stimulus display is uniform. Here, we studied two cases, known as the Extinction illusion and the Honeycomb illusion, invo ...

Basic gestalt laws cannot explain uncrowding

Michael Herzog, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Einat Rashal

Visual crowding is the inability to perceive elements within clutter. Traditional crowding models, such as pooling, predict that performance deteriorates when flankers are added. However, this prediction has been disproved. For example, performance was fou ...

Capsule networks explain complex spatial processing

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Lynn Schmittwilken

Classically, visual processing is described as a cascade of local feedforward computations. This view has received striking support from the success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, CNNs only roughly mimic human vision. For example, CNNs d ...

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

Michael Herzog, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska, Renaud Marquis, Bogdan Draganski

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 ...

Running Large-Scale Simulations on the Neurorobotics Platform to Understand Vision - The Case of Visual Crowding

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Alban Bornet, Egidio Falotico, Alessandro Ambrosano

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 ...

Neural dynamics of the competition between grouping organizations

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Einat Rashal

Neural dynamics of the competition between grouping organizations have been studied to a limited extent. The paradigms used so far confounded grouping operations with task demands, using explicit reports of the predominantly perceived organization and bias ...
