Unlocking crowding by ensemble statistics

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Yury Markov, Natalia Tiurina

In crowding,1-7 objects that can be easily recognized in isolation appear jumbled when surrounded by other elements.8 Traditionally, crowding is explained by local pooling mechanisms,3,6,9-15 but many findings have shown that the global configuration of th ...

The role of pre-stimulus alpha rhythms in non-retinotopic feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

What is the link between spontaneous neuronal oscillations (i.e., non-evoked activity) and perception? Often, the phase or power of alpha activity is proposed to modulate perception. The majority of work has focused on the unecological presentation of sing ...

Global brain dynamics under visual entrainment

David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Cognitive and perceptual functions depend on the momentary dynamics of the brain. A typical approach to investigate these dynamics is through the so-called method of entrainment. In entrainment, a rhythmic stimulation (e.g., a periodic visual or auditory s ...

In serial dependence (SD), perceptual decisions are biased toward stimuli seen in the recent past. It is believed that SD originates from a perceptual prior that the world is stable and stimuli are correlated in time. Often, however, SD is observed in cond ...

Perceptual decisions are biased towards previous stimuli, a phenomenon known as serial dependence. However, the mechanisms of this bias are unknown. For example, it is debated whether serial dependence reflects a perceptual bias or interference of prior st ...

Predictive brain: Addressing the level of representation by reviewing perceptual hysteresis

David Pascucci

In recent years, the idea that the prediction of sensory input is one of the major computational goals of the nervous system led to the development of several large-scale theories of brain functioning, such as different versions of the Bayesian approach to ...

There is a hot debate about the nature of serial dependence (SD), the tendency to judge stimulus features in a given trial as similar to the previous trial. It is often argued that SD reflects a mechanism to stabilize perception, combining features of simi ...

EEG rhythms in long-lasting spatio-temporal feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Pre-stimulus brain activity is thought to modulate visual perception. However, the nature of this modulation remains debated. In particular, the use of paradigms with very brief and weak stimuli complicates a univocal understanding. Here we focus on phenom ...

Perception depends not only on the current sensory input but also on the preceding history of stimuli. In serial dependence (SD), for example, the orientation of a Gabor patch is mistakenly reported as more similar to previous trials than it actually is. T ...

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 ...
