Interactive Digital Engagement With Visual Artworks and Cultural Artefacts Enhances User Aesthetic Experiences in the Laboratory and Museum

Martin Vetterli, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Christine Mohr, Pierre Gabioud

Digital technologies reshape the way we interact with our environment, including with artworks. Advanced computational imaging solutions allow having extremely high-resolution digital reproductions of artworks outside museums, presumably increasing artwork ...

Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity

Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Meng Zhang, Niloufar Pouyan

Many of us "see red," "feel blue," or "turn green with envy." Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we t ...

EEG microstates are a candidate endophenotype for schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo

Electroencephalogram microstates are recurrent scalp potential configurations that remain stable for around 90 ms. The dynamics of two of the four canonical classes of microstates, commonly labeled as C and D, have been suggested as a potential endophenoty ...

The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries

Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Ramiro Tau, Meng Zhang, Nevena Dimitrova, Niloufar Pouyan

Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking in psychosis

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask, which deteriorates performance on the target. Schizophrenia and first episodes patients show strong behavioral deficits, reflected in strongly reduced amplitudes of the EEG as compared to co ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in high schizotypic personality traits participants

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro

Visual backward masking is strongly deteriorated in patients with schizophrenia. Masking deficits are associated with strongly reduced amplitudes of the global field power in the EEG. Healthy participants who scored high in cognitive disorganization (a sch ...

EEG Correlates of Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia, especially in backward masking. In our task a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right) ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Christine Mohr, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Alessandro Tremea

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

Put on that colour, it fits your emotion: Colour appropriateness as a function of expressed emotion

Christine Mohr, Cynthia Marchand

People associate affective meaning with colour, and this may influence decisions about colours. Hue is traditionally considered the most salient descriptor of colour and colour-affect associations, although colour brightness and saturation seem to have par ...
