Activating the motor system through action observation: is this an efficient approach in adults and children?

Observing an action performed by another person to learn a new movement is a frequent experience in adult daily life, such as in sports. However, it is an especially common circumstance during the development of motor skills in childhood. Studies on health ...

Retinotopy of visual masking and non-retinotopic perception during masking

Michael Herzog

Due to the movements of the observer and those of objects in the environment, retinotopic representations are highly unstable during ecological viewing conditions. The phenomenal stability of our perception suggests that retinotopic representations are tra ...

Obligatory averaging in mean size perception

Aire Raidvee

The perception of ensemble characteristics is often regarded as an antidote to an established bottleneck in focused attention and working memory, both of which appear to be limited in capacity to a few objects only. In order to test the associative law of ...

Crowding, grouping, timing

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Mauro Manassi, Vitaly Chicherov

In crowding, target perception is deteriorated by flanking elements. For example, when a vernier is flanked by two lines of the same length, vernier offset discrimination strongly deteriorates. Interestingly, changing the color of the flankers can reduce c ...

The use of word data to measure perception in hybrid choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum

This research aims at developing a hybrid choice model (HCM) where a perceptional variable is measured by means of adjectives reported by individuals. Due to the qualitative nature of adjectives, the main challenges of the study involve their quantificatio ...

Housing market equilibrium (almost) without vacancies

Philippe Thalmann

The Swiss housing market is characterised by an extraordinarily low vacancy rate, generally in the vicinity of 1%. Is it permanently in a condition of severe shortage? This paper uses both a standard non-accelerating rent inflation rate of vacancy approach ...

When crowding of crowding leads to uncrowding

Michael Herzog, Mauro Manassi

In peripheral crowding, target perception can be strongly deteriorated by nearby flankers. What happens if flanker “A” crowds flanker “B” and “B” crowds target “C”? At 9° eccentricity, we determined offset discrimination thresholds for verniers. When the v ...

Improving Visual Perception through Neurofeedback

Frank Scharnowski

Perception depends on the interplay of ongoing spontaneous activity and stimulus-evoked activity in sensory cortices. This raises the possibility that training ongoing spontaneous activity alone might be sufficient for enhancing perceptual sensitivity. To ...

My face through the looking-glass: The effect of mirror reversal on reflection size estimation

Olaf Blanke, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon, Jakob Scherer

People tend to grossly overestimate the size of their mirror-reflected face. Although this overestimation bias is robust, not much is known about its relationships to self-face perception. In two experiments, we investigated the overestimation bias as a fu ...
