Human perceptual learning by mental imagery
Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert
Perceptual learning is learning to perceive. For example, a radiologist is able to easily identify anomalies in medical images only after extended training. Theoretical and psychophysical studies [1-12] suggest that such improvements of performance are acc ...
Elsevier2009Who is the expert? analyzing gaze data to predict expertise level in collaborative applications
Pierre Dillenbourg, Mirweis Sangin, Marc-Antoine Nüssli, Yuan Liu, Yan Liu
In this paper, we analyze complex gaze tracking data in a collaborative task and apply machine learning models to automatically predict skill-level differences between participants. Specifically, we present findings that address the two primary challenges ...
IEEE Press2009Contextual modulation in human vision
The processing and perception of visual stimuli are greatly dependent on the context in which those stimuli are presented. While this is not always (and indeed is probably not "supposed" to be) evident when viewing real-world scenes, the abundance of conte ...
EPFL2009Pitting temporal against spatial integration in schizophrenic patients
Schizophrenic patients show strong impairments in visual backward masking possibly caused by deficits on the early stages of visual processing. The underlying aberrant mechanisms are not clearly understood. Spatial as well as temporal processing deficits h ...
Elsevier2009Interleaving bisection stimuli - randomly or in sequence - does not disrupt perceptual learning, it just makes it more difficult
Michael Herzog, Carl Kristoffer Aberg
Presenting stimuli of two or more stimulus types randomly interleaved, so called roving, disrupts perceptual learning in many paradigms. Recently, it was shown that no disruption occurs when Gabor stimuli were presented interleaved in sequence, instead of ...
Elsevier2009Age-related differences in temporal processing
Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili
Visual backward masking paradigm, as determined with the shine-through effect, is a very sensitive tool to detect age related differences in visual temporal processing. We presented a vernier offset to the left or right followed by a grating mask which imp ...
2009Perceptual learning and roving: Stimulus types and overlapping neural populations
Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg
In perceptual learning, performance usually improves when observers train with one type of stimulus, for example, a bisection stimulus. Roving denotes the situation when, instead of one, two or more types of stimuli are presented randomly interleaved, for ...
Elsevier2009Enhanced temporal but not attentional processing in expert tennis players
In tennis, as in many disciplines of sport, fine spatio-temporal resolution is required to reach optimal performance. While many studies on tennis have focused on anticipatory skills or decision making, fewer have investigated the underlying visual percept ...
Public Library of Science2008Perceptual learning of bisection stimuli under roving: slow and largely specific
In perceptual learning, performance often improves within a short time if only one stimulus variant is presented, such as a line bisection stimulus with one outer-line-distance. However, performance stagnates if two bisection stimuli with two outer-line-di ...
Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology2008Figural grouping affects contextual modulation in low level vision
Embedding a target within contextual elements can influence performance in visual tasks. For example, when a vernier is flanked by two lines, discrimination performance deteriorates strongly compared to unflanked presentation. This contextual modulation is ...
