Elucidating the role of Hmx1 during mouse development

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 ...

Combining dynamic head pose-gaze mapping with the robot conversational state for attention recognition in human-robot interactions

Jean-Marc Odobez, Samira Sheikhi

The ability to recognize the visual focus of attention (VFOA, i.e. what or whom a person is looking at) of people is important for robots or conversational agents interacting with multiple people, since it plays a key role in turn-taking, engagement or int ...

Duration of Purkinje cell complex spikes increases with their firing frequency

Michele Giugliano

Climbing fiber (CF) triggered complex spikes (CS) are massive depolarization bursts in the cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC), showing several high frequency spikelet components (+/- 600 Hz). Since its early observations, the CS is known to vary in shape. In th ...

Optogenetic stimulation of the cochlear nucleus using channelrhodopsin-2 evokes activity in the central auditory pathways

Stéphanie Lacour

Optogenetics has become an important research tool and is being considered as the basis for several neural prostheses. However, few studies have applied optogenetics to the auditory brainstem. This study explored whether optical activation of the cochlear ...

Tuning of temporo-occipital activity by frontal oscillations during virtual mirror exposure causes erroneous self-recognition

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Michiel van Elk, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Anna Sforza, Noriaki Kanayama

Self-face recognition, a hallmark of self-awareness, depends on 'off-line' stored information about one's face and 'on-line' multisensory-motor face-related cues. The brain mechanisms of how on-line sensory-motor processes affect off-line neural self-face ...

Muscle synergies and spinal maps are sensitive to the asymmetry induced by a unilateral stroke

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Previous studies have shown that a cerebrovascular accident disrupts the coordinated control of leg muscles during locomotion inducing asymmetric gait patterns. However, the ability of muscle synergies and spinal maps to reflect the redistribut ...

Voluntary self-touch increases body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara, Polona Pozeg

Experimental manipulations of body ownership have indicated that multisensory integration is central to forming bodily self representation. Voluntary self touch is a unique multisensory situation involving corresponding motor, tactile and proprioceptive si ...

Motions of Parts and Wholes: An Exogenous Reference-Frame Model of Non-Retinotopic Processing

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

We developed a model for non-retinotopic, object-centered motion processing. ...

Neural correlates of non-retinotopic processing in human visual cortex as determined by 7T fMRI and high-density EEG

Michael Herzog, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

Human perception is largely non-retinotopic. A bike passes by; we perceive the reflectors on its wheels rotating on a circular orbit. However, the “real” motion is truly different, namely cycloidal. The real, retinotopic motion is invisible because the bik ...
