Temporal aspects of feature integration in vision

To fully comprehend visual perception, we need to necessarily understand its temporal dimension. Our visual environment is highly dynamic, requiring the processing and integration of temporal signals in order to make sense of it. Many processes, such as th ...

Efficient ensemble summaries are inversely related to visual crowding

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Yury Markov, Natalia Tiurina

Visual crowding is the inability to perceive properly peripheral stimuli within clutter. Previous work has shown that crowding is affected by perceptual grouping: when the flankers do not group with the target, crowding decreases, leading to uncrowding. Ty ...

Information integration and information storage in retinotopic and non-retinotopic sensory memory

Michael Herzog

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 ...

Reference-frames in vision: Contributions of attentional tracking to nonretinotopic perception in the Ternus-Pikler display

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs, Oh-Hyeon Choung

Perception depends on reference frames. For example, the "true'' cycloidal motion trajectory of a reflector on a bike's wheel is invisible because we perceive the reflector motion relative to the bike's motion trajectory, which serves as a reference frame. ...

Uncorking the bottleneck of crowding: a fresh look at object recognition

Michael Herzog, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of clutter. Crowding is usually explained within the framework of object recognition, where processing proceeds in a hierarchical and feedforward fashion from the analysis of low level fe ...

Release of crowding by pattern completion

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, target perception deteriorates in the presence of flanking elements. Crowding is classically explained by low-level mechanisms such as pooling or feature substitution. However, we have previously shown that perceptual grouping between the targ ...

Visual crowding illustrates the inadequacy of local vs. global and feedforward vs. feedback distinctions in modeling visual perception

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke

Experimentalists tend to classify models of visual perception as being either local or global, and involving either feedforward or feedback processing. We argue that these distinctions are not as helpful as they might appear, and we illustrate these issues ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

Introduction: Flankers can strongly deteriorate performance on a visual target (crowding). For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly affected by neighboring flankers. Interestingly, performance for longer and shorter flankers is better than pe ...

Contextual modulation predicted by the N1 component of event-related potentials

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

Performance on a target can be strongly modified by context. For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly deteriorated by neighboring flankers. Performance is worst when the flankers have the same length as the vernier. Surprisingly, performance ...
