Motion-based nearest vector metric for reference frame selection in the perception of motion

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

We investigated how the visual system selects a reference frame for the perception of motion. Two concentric arcs underwent circular motion around the center of the display, where observers fixated. The outer (target) arc's angular velocity profile was mod ...

A computational model for reference-frame synthesis with applications to motion perception

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

As discovered by the Gestaltists, in particular by Duncker, we often perceive motion to be within a non-retinotopic reference frame. For example, the motion of a reflector on a bicycle appears to be circular, whereas, it traces out a cycloidal path with re ...

Models of crowding: a comparative study

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Michael Clarke

In crowding, the perception of an object deteriorates in the presence of nearby elements. Obviously, crowding is a ubiquitous phenomenon, since elements are rarely seen in isolation. Despite this ubiquity, there exists no consensus on how to model crowding ...

The effects of aging on perception and cognition

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Daniela Herzig

The developed world is aging faster than ever before. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging affects all kinds of human functions including perception and cognition. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually foun ...

Human and Machine Learning in Non-Markovian Decision Making

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Elisa Tartaglia, Silvia Marchesotti, Walter Senn

Humans can learn under a wide variety of feedback conditions. Reinforcement learning (RL), where a series of rewarded decisions must be made, is a particularly important type of learning. Computational and behavioral studies of RL have focused mainly on Ma ...

No correlations between the magnitude of visual illusions

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast

In cognition, audition and somatosensation, performance correlates strongly between different tasks suggesting the existence of common factors. Surprisingly, this does not hold true for vision. For example, Vernier acuity and Gabor detection correlate very ...

No correlations between the strength of visual illusions

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance correlates strongly between different paradigms suggesting the existence of common factors. Surprisingly, this does not hold true for vision. For example, performance in line bisection and visual acu ...

Crowding and shape representations

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, target perception deteriorates when flanking elements are added. Crowding is traditionally characterized by target-flanker interactions which are (1) deleterious, (2) spatially confined within Bouma’s window, and (3) feature specific. Here, we ...
