Computational principles of single neuron adaptation

Cortical neurons continuously transform sets of incoming spike trains into output spike trains. This input-output transformation is referred to as single-neuron computation and constitutes one of the most fundamental process in the brain. A deep understand ...

Posing for awareness: Proprioception modulates access to visual consciousness in a continuous flash suppression task

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Mei Ling Melanie Lim

The rules governing the selection of which sensory information reaches consciousness are yet unknown. Of our senses, vision is often considered to be the dominant sense, and the effects of bodily senses, such as proprioception, on visual consciousness are ...

Embodied space in architecture, cognitive neuroscience, and virtual reality

Isabella Maria Pasqualini

Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience enable improved understanding of embodiment and egocentric space in architecture. From a historical perspective the human body has been inferred as a reference in the debate of architectonic proportion. It was sugg ...

Perceptual learning of motion discrimination by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

Perceptual learning can occur when stimuli are only imagined, i.e., without proper stimulus presentation. For example, perceptual learning improved bisection discrimination when only the two outer lines of the bisection stimulus were presented and the cent ...

Improving Visual Perception through Neurofeedback

Frank Scharnowski

Perception depends on the interplay of ongoing spontaneous activity and stimulus-evoked activity in sensory cortices. This raises the possibility that training ongoing spontaneous activity alone might be sufficient for enhancing perceptual sensitivity. To ...

Non-retinotopic feature processing in the absence of retinotopic spatial layout and the construction of perceptual space from motion

Michael Herzog

The spatial representation of a visual scene in the early visual system is well known. The optics of the eye map the three-dimensional environment onto two-dimensional images on the retina. These retinotopic representations are preserved in the early visua ...

Looming Signals Reveal Synergistic Principles of Multisensory Integration

Micah Murray, Antonia Thelen

Multisensory interactions are a fundamental feature of brain organization. Principles governing multisensory processing have been established by varying stimulus location, timing and efficacy independently. Determining whether and how such principles opera ...

Quantifying target conspicuity in contextual modulation by visual search

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim

Contextual elements can strongly modulate visual performance. For example, performance deteriorates when a vernier is flanked by neighboring lines. On a neural level, such contextual modulation is often explained by local spatial interactions such as later ...

Increased sensory evidence reverses nonconscious priming during crowding

Nathan Quentin Faivre

Sensory adaptation reflects the fact that the responsiveness of a perceptual system changes after the processing of a specific stimulus. Two manifestations of this property have been used in order to infer the mechanisms underlying vision: priming, in whic ...

Deficient ventral stream processing in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Gijs Plomp

In visual backward masking, a target is followed by a mask which impedes perception of the target. Masking is much stronger in schizophrenic patients compared to controls. Visual masking is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic ...
