Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Christian Sachse, Adrien Christophe Doerig

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...

Temporal windows of unconscious processing cannot easily be disrupted

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang

Conscious perception is preceded by long periods of unconscious processing. These periods are crucial for analyzing temporal information and for solving the many ill-posed problems of vision. An important question is what starts and ends these windows and ...

No Common Factor Underlying Decline of Visual Abilities in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio

Introduction Recent work has shown an association between cognitive and visual impairments and two main theories were advanced, namely the sensory deprivation and the common cause theories. Most studies considered only basic visual functions such as visual ...

The EEG multiverse of schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Wei-Hsiang Lin, Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez

Research on schizophrenia typically focuses on one paradigm for which clear-cut differences between patients and controls are established. Great efforts are made to understand the underlying genetical, neurophysiological, and cognitive mechanisms, which ev ...

Embedded figures in schizophrenia: A main deficit but no specificity

Michael Herzog, Michel Akselrod, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Visual deficits are core deficits of schizophrenia. Classically, deficits are determined with demanding psychophysical tasks requiring fine-grained spatial or temporal resolution. Less is known about holistic processing. Here, we employed the Leuven Embedd ...

Global information processing in feedforward deep networks

Michael Herzog, Ben Henrik Lönnqvist, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

While deep neural networks are state-of-the-art models of many parts of the human visual system, here we show that they fail to process global information in a humanlike manner. First, using visual crowding as a probe into global visual information process ...

Is there an association between cognitive and visual decline?

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio

Cognitive and visual abilities decline with age. Recently, it has been suggested that the risk to suffer from dementia is associated with decreased visual acuity. Two theories, the sensory deprivation theory (stating that visual impairments cause cognitive ...
