Self-grounded vision: hand ownership modulates visual location through cortical beta and gamma oscillations

Olaf Blanke, Javier Bello Ruiz, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Fosco Bernasconi, Michele Scandola, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Vision is known to be shaped by context, defined by environmental and bodily signals. In the Taylor illusion, the size of an afterimage projected on one's hand changes according to proprioceptive signals conveying hand position. Here, we assessed whether t ...

Dorsal and ventral stream contributions to form-from-motion perception in a patient with form-from motion deficit: a case report

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

The main model of visual processing in primates proposes an anatomo-functional distinction between the dorsal stream, specialized in spatio-temporal information, and the ventral stream, processing essentially form information. However, these two pathways a ...

Is there a common cause for perceptual decline in the aging brain?

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging strongly affects vision. Whereas optical deficits are well documented, much less is known perceptual deficits. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older par ...

Spatial and temporal aspects of visual backward masking in children and young adolescents

Michael Herzog

The development of visual functions is very diverse. Some visual functions mature within the first year of life, whereas maturation for other functions extends into adolescence. The reasons for these developmental differences are largely unknown. Here, we ...

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) ...

The effects of aging on perception and cognition

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Daniela Herzig, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

The developed world is aging faster than ever before. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually foun ...

Contour-integration deficits in intact visual field of hemianopia patients

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

We investigated Gestalt perception in the intact visual field (VF) of hemianopia patients. Three patients and matched controls performed a Yes-No figure detection task. Gabor patches of one orientation, making up the outline of a square, were embedded in r ...

Cluster phenomenon and partial differential aging in RAP mixtures

André-Gilles Dumont, Michel Pittet, Sara Bressi

The present study defines a procedure for gaining a better understanding of the interaction between the aged and the virgin binders and what actually occurs during a mix process. Indeed, the authors propose a methodology to determine and quantify the clust ...
