Field-like interactions between motion-based reference frames

Michael Herzog

A reference frame is required to specify how motion is perceived. For example, the motion of part of an object is usually perceived relative to the motion of the object itself. Johansson (Psychological Research, 38, 379-393, 1976) proposed that the percept ...

Vision in clutter

Vitaly Chicherov

Perception of a visual target can strongly deteriorate in the presence of flanking elements (crowding). Crowding is the main limiting factor in reading and a major contributor to poor vision in amblyopia. In crowding, elements appear jumbled and thus are h ...

Connectivity Analysis of Brain States and Applications in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Huaijian Zhang

Human brain is organized by a large number of functionally correlated but spatially distributed cortical neurons. Cognitive processes are usually associated with dynamic interactions among multiple brain regions. Therefore, the understanding of brain funct ...

The effective reference frame in perceptual judgments of motion direction

Michael Herzog

The retinotopic projection of stimulus motion depends both on the motion of the stimulus and the movements of the observer. In this study, we aimed to quantify the contributions of endogenous (retinotopic) and exogenous (spatiotopic and motion-based) refer ...

Non-retinotopic motion: Efference copies and predictability

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, a reflector on the wheel of a bicycle is perceived to rotate on a circular orbit, while its retinotopic motion is cycloidal. To investigate non-retinotopic motion perception, we used the Ternus-Pikler dis ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

Introduction: Flankers can strongly deteriorate performance on a visual target (crowding). For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly affected by neighboring flankers. Interestingly, performance for longer and shorter flankers is better than pe ...

Neural correlates of visual crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

In visual crowding, target discrimination strongly deteriorates when flanking elements are added. We have recently shown that crowding cannot be explained by simple low-level interactions and that grouping is a key component instead. We presented a vernier ...

Neurological and Robot-Controlled Induction of an Apparition

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Lukas Heydrich, Masayuki Hara, Polona Pozeg

Tales of ghosts, wraiths, and other apparitions have been reported in virtually all cultures. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present and cannot be seen (feeling of a presence, FOP) is a fascinating feat of the human m ...
