Pre-stimulus alpha activity modulates long-lasting unconscious feature integration
Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey
Pre-stimulus alpha (α) activity can influence perception of shortly presented, low-contrast stimuli. The underlying mechanisms are often thought to affect perception exactly at the time of presentation. In addition, it is suggested that α cycles determine ...
2023A mirror therapy system using virtual reality and an actuated exoskeleton for the recovery of hand motor impairments: a study of acceptability, usability, and embodiment
Luca Randazzo, Antonio Paolillo
Hand motor impairments are one of the main causes of disabilities worldwide. Rehabilitation procedures like mirror therapy are given crucial importance. In the traditional setup, the patient moves the healthy hand in front of a mirror; the view of the mirr ...
Berlin2023The role of pre-stimulus alpha rhythms in non-retinotopic feature integration
Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey
What is the link between spontaneous neuronal oscillations (i.e., non-evoked activity) and perception? Often, the phase or power of alpha activity is proposed to modulate perception. The majority of work has focused on the unecological presentation of sing ...
2022Questioning Wizard of Oz: Effects of Revealing the Wizard behind the Robot
Pierre Dillenbourg, Pierre Pravin Oppliger, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir
Wizard of Oz, a very commonly employed technique in human-robot interaction, faces the criticism of being deceptive as the humans interacting with the robot are told, if at all, only at the end of their interaction that there was in fact a human behind the ...
2022Wearable and Continuous Prediction of Passage of Time Perception for Monitoring Mental Health
David Atienza Alonso, Lara Orlandic, Adriana Arza Valdes
A person’s passage of time perception (POTP) is strongly linked to their mental state and stress response, and can therefore provide an easily quantifiable means of continuous mental health monitoring. In this work, we develop a custom experiment and Machi ...
2021Serial dependence does not originate from low-level visual processing
Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan
Perception depends not only on the current sensory input but also on the preceding history of stimuli. In serial dependence (SD), for example, the orientation of a Gabor patch is mistakenly reported as more similar to previous trials than it actually is. T ...
2021The New Brutalism, invenzione di uno stile
The concept of New Brutalism has been the victim of a series of misunderstandings, myths and aporias.
The initial intentions, devoid of any principle or dogma, have passed from hand to hand. The original definitionâif only one can be identifiedâhas be ...
EPFL2021Information integration and information storage in retinotopic and non-retinotopic sensory memory
The first stage of the Atkinson–Shiffrin model of human memory is a sensory memory (SM). The visual component of the SM was shown to operate within a retinotopic reference frame. However, a retinotopic SM (rSM) is unable to account for vision under natural ...
2021A guideline for linking brain wave findings to the various aspects of discrete perception
Michael Herzog, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey, Lukas Vogelsang
Brain waves, determined by electrical and magnetic brain recordings (e.g., EEG and MEG), and fluctuating behavioral responses, determined by response time or accuracy measures, are frequently taken to support discrete perception. For example, it has been p ...
2021Serial dependence across features and objects
Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan
Aims Visual perception is systematically biased toward stimuli seen in the recent past, a phenomenon known as serial dependence (SD). It is widely believed that SD reflects a continuity field in vision to promote visual stability over time. A main question ...
