The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

In the past 10 years, our laboratory has proved the shine-through paradigm to be a very sensitive endophenotype for schizophrenia. The shine-through paradigm is a visual backward masking task, where the target is a vertical vernier followed by a 25-element ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

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

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Time course of prediction errors in sequential decision making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...

Visual masking and schizophrenia: enhancement deficit 200 ms after stimulus onset

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Masking is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients and to a lesser extent in their healthy relatives. For this reason, masking is a good endophenotype. Here, we show the EEG correlates of masking across the schizophrenia continuum in order to tackl ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

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

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously shown that visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia (Chkonia et al., 2010). Importantly, not only patients but also ...

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 ...

Neural Correlates of Sequential Decision Making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Compensation of visual backward masking deficits in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced N1 amplitudes as shown by the Global Field Power (GF ...

Neural correlates of visual backward masking: Compensation mechanism in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced EEG amplitudes. In VBM, a target stimulus is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. Here, we inves ...
