The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Simona Adele Garobbio, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

In the past 10 years, our laboratory has proved the shine-through paradigm to be a very sensitive endophenotype for schizophrenia. The shine-through paradigm is a visual backward masking task, where the target is a vertical vernier followed by a 25-element ...

Dysmaturation Observed as Altered Hippocampal Functional Connectivity at Rest Is Associated With the Emergence of Positive Psychotic Symptoms in Patients With 22q11 Deletion Syndrome

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maude Schneider, Daniela Maria Zöller, Karin Bortolin, Farnaz Delavari

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal alterations are among the most replicated neuroimaging findings across the psychosis spectrum. Moreover, there is strong translational evidence that preserving the maturation of hippocampal networks in mice models prevents the progr ...

Unraveling neural and behavioral mechanisms of cognitive self-attenuation and alienation

Giedre Stripeikyte

The present thesis aimed at investigating behavioral and neural underpinnings of the mechanisms related to the different aspects of self-monitoring. The first aim was to study functional connectivity alterations related to the mechanisms accounting for the ...

Spectral Properties of the Signal in Phase-Sensitive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry with Direct Detection

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu, Li Zhang

The spectral properties of the Rayleigh backscattered traces measured by a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (øOTDR) with direct detection are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. The spectrum of the measured øOTDR signal is found to ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in the schizophrenia continuum

Ophélie Gladys Favrod

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask. Over the past decade, a VBM task, called the Shine-Through paradigm (ST), has been shown to be a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. In the present thesis, the electrophysiologica ...

Sampling sufficiency for determining hydraulic habitat diversity

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Christopher Robinson, Severin Stähly

The geometry and hydrodynamics of river reaches are key ecohydraulic descriptors. Statistics of water depth and velocity measurements are usually taken as proxies for habitat suitability in rivers. However, little is known about the sufficiency of data to ...

Training DNNs with Hybrid Block Floating Point

Babak Falsafi, Tao Lin, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Martin Jaggi

The wide adoption of DNNs has given birth to unrelenting computing requirements, forcing datacenter operators to adopt domain-specific accelerators to train them. These accelerators typically employ densely packed full-precision floating-point arithmetic t ...

Visual masking and schizophrenia: enhancement deficit 200 ms after stimulus onset

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

Masking is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients and to a lesser extent in their healthy relatives. For this reason, masking is a good endophenotype. Here, we show the EEG correlates of masking across the schizophrenia continuum in order to tackl ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously shown that visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia (Chkonia et al., 2010). Importantly, not only patients but also ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking in psychosis

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask, which deteriorates performance on the target. Schizophrenia and first episodes patients show strong behavioral deficits, reflected in strongly reduced amplitudes of the EEG as compared to co ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in first-episode psychosis

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

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. We have previously shown that visual backward mas ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro, Christine Mohr

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia. For example, a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right). Patients need ISIs that are 1 ...

Apparent compensation mechanisms in relatives of schizophrenia patients in visual backward masking

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

Visual backward masking (VBM) is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients. VBM is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with redu ...

EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro, Christine Mohr

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia, especially in backward masking. In our task a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right) ...

Comparisons of verbal fluency brain correlates between adults and adolescents suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A pilot study

Pierre Marquet, Pierre Magistretti

Background and Objectives: Prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunctions leading to cognitive deficits refer to a core feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). This exploratory study compares the effect of SSD on two stages of maturation of PFC. Methods: ...

Backward masking performance in patients with functional psychoses

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

In visual backward masking, a target is followed by a blank screen (ISI - Inter-stimulus-interval) and, then, a mask which deteriorates target processing. Schizophrenic patients show strong but complex processing deficits in visual masking compared to heal ...

Compensation of visual backward masking deficits in relatives of schizophrenia patients

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

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced N1 amplitudes as shown by the Global Field Power (GF ...

Imaging blood cells through scattering biological tissue using speckle scanning microscopy

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Xin Yang, Ye Pu

We demonstrate imaging of blood cells enclosed in chicken skin tissue using speckle scanning microscopy (SSM). Clear images of multiple cells were obtained with subcellular resolution and good image fidelity, provided that the object dimension was smaller ...

A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation (CACR) in Adolescents with Psychosis or at High Risk of Psychosis

Michael Herzog

Background: Computer assisted cognitive remediation (CACR) was demonstrated to be efficient in improving cognitive deficits in adults with psychosis. However, scarce studies explored the outcome of CACR in adolescents with psychosis or at high risk. Aims: ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Guillaume Sierro, Christine Mohr, Géraldine Beaud

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...
