About individual differences in vision

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different paradigms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seemingly very similar tasks, such as visual and bisection acuity, ...

Putting low-level vision into global context: Why vision cannot be reduced to basic circuits

Michael Herzog, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

To cope with the complexity of vision, most models in neuroscience and computer vision are of hierarchical and feedforward nature. Low-level vision, such as edge and motion detection, is explained by basic low-level neural circuits, whose outputs serve as ...

Hyper-specificity of perceptual learning

Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Perceptual learning is the ability to improve perception through practice. Perceptual learning is usually specific for the task and the stimulus features trained with. For example, training orientation discrimination with vertically oriented stimuli does n ...

Numerical Priming Between Touch and Vision Depends on Tactile Discrimination

Olaf Blanke, Laurène Véronique Vuillaume, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Although the interaction between vision and touch is of crucial importance for perceptual and bodily self-consciousness, only little is known regarding the link between conscious access and tactile processing. Here, we tested whether the numerical encoding ...

Elucidating the role of Hmx1 during mouse development

Linda Bapst

This thesis focuses on the study of H6 homeobox 1 (HMX1) gene, a homeobox-containing transcription factor involved in sensory organ and eye development and responsible for the oculo-auricular syndrome of Schorderet-Munier-Franceschetti. The purpose of my s ...

Retinotopy of visual masking and non-retinotopic perception during masking

Michael Herzog

Due to the movements of the observer and those of objects in the environment, retinotopic representations are highly unstable during ecological viewing conditions. The phenomenal stability of our perception suggests that retinotopic representations are tra ...

Targets but not flankers are suppressed in crowding as revealed by EEG frequency tagging

Michael Herzog, Vitaly Chicherov

Perception of a visual target can strongly deteriorate in the presence of flanking elements (crowding). For example, adding lines next to a vernier makes vernier offset discrimination difficult. Crowding is often considered a bottleneck of low-level vision ...

The PANOPTIC Camera: A Plenoptic Sensor with Real-Time Omnidirectional Capability

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato, Laurent Jacques, Hossein Afshari

A new biologically-inspired vision sensor made of one hundred "eyes" is presented, which is suitable for real-time acquisition and processing of 3-D image sequences. This device, named the Panoptic camera, consists of a layered arrangement of approximately ...
