Robotically-induced auditory-verbal hallucinations: combining self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Melissa Faggella, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic

Background. Inducing hallucinations under controlled experimental conditions in nonhallucinating individuals represents a novel research avenue oriented toward understanding complex hallucinatory phenomena, avoiding confounds observed in patients. Audito ...

Selective attention involves a feature-specific sequential release from inhibitory gating

David Pascucci, Gijs Plomp

Selective attention is a fundamental cognitive mechanism that allows our brain to preferentially process relevant sensory information, while filtering out distracting information. Attention is thought to flexibly gate the communication of irrelevant inform ...

Interoception and Empathy Impact Perspective Taking

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Adopting the perspective of another person is an important aspect of social cognition and has been shown to depend on multisensory signals from one's own body. Recent work suggests that interoceptive signals not only contribute to own-body perception and s ...

Dissecting self-voice perception: From bone conduction to robotically-induced self-other voice misattribution in healthy listeners

Pavo Orepic

Inspired by the prominent theory suggesting that auditory-verbal hallucinations (AVH) - the sensation of hearing voices without present speakers - arise as misattribution of inner speech towards external agents, my thesis revolved around self-voice percept ...

Congruency effects can compensate for deficits of healthy older adults in crossmodal integration

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

One of the pivotal challenges of aging is to maintain independence in the activities of daily life. In order to adapt to changes in the environment, it is crucial to continuously process and accurately combine simultaneous input from different sensory syst ...

Perception of Auditory Distance in Normal-Hearing and Moderate-to-Profound Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Hervé Lissek, Gilles André Courtois, Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi

The auditory system allows the estimation of the distance to sound-emitting objects using multiple spatial cues. In virtual acoustics over headphones, a prerequisite to render auditory distance impression is sound externalization, which denotes the percept ...

Auditory externalization in hearing-impaired listeners with remote microphone systems for hearing aids

Hervé Lissek, Gilles André Courtois, Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi

The auditory system enables listeners to estimate the localization of auditory events resorting notablyto individual binaural cues and room reflections reaching the eardrum. For hearing-impaired listenersusing hearing aids, those cues are possibly distorte ...

Deep Learning of Human Perception in Audio Event Classification

Samuel Denys Beuret, Yi Yu

In this paper, we introduce our recent studies on human perception in audio event classification. In particular, the pre-trained model VGGish is used as feature extractor to process audio data, and DenseNet is trained by and used as feature extractor for o ...

Effects of Binaural Spatialization in Wireless Microphone Systems for Hearing Aids on Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Gigandet, Gilles André Courtois

Little is known about the perception of artificial spatial hearing by hearing-impaired subjects. The purpose of this study was to investigate how listeners with hearing disorders perceived the effect of a spatialization feature designed for wireless microp ...

About specific and general factors for visual illusions

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Contrary to studies of audition and cognition, we previously did not find evidence for a general common factor for vision but for many very specific ones. For example, we found strong correlations between 19 versions of the Ebbinghaus illusion, which diffe ...
